I think the above is food making itself a bit too helpful, but....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I will say, though, that comparative anatomy is a very good thing to have, when preparing meats. A chicken (that is lying down quietly) has parts that mostly correspond to human parts, so I know (e.g.) the right angle at which to twist off the femur.
Beef and lamb parts are like, here is some meat. It has lines of white stuff, and a circular bone. When it was alive, this meat was the world's grossest frisbee. Have fun!
Even having on the package "this is part of a steer's butt" or "this is lamb shoulder" doesn't give me enough visual context.

Silence means security silence means approval
My stance that meat should not be identifiable as having come from something living is once again validated. I do not practice vegetarianism so much as plausible deniability.
I know it sounds crazy, but I'd RATHER have meat from an identifiable part, because then I know one animal died for my dinner and gave part of its muscle for the pot roast sitting in the crock pot, rather than 1000 animals having various bits processed into solid protein "nuggets" or "patties."
I have no problems with vegetarianism, and I will happily acommodate vegetarians at all meals. Vegans, though, I have no idea what to cook them. I'd probably just hand them some lentils and the spice rack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You might as well tie booties on it and give it a hat. It practically has a personality now! How can you eat it?
So, you're not from a family that makes Mr. Turkey dance Thanksgiving morning, then.
