One of the things I recall about my childhood visit to the butcher's shop was a diagram of a cow with the location of the cuts of meat superimposed. To my childhood sensibilities it too explicitly made the connection between the living animal and the meat that would end up on my plate. But, I must have come to terms with it because I never became a vegetarian, though I imagine that was the unintended consequence in more than a few cases. I saw this neon version of the once common diagram in the window of a London steakhouse.
