Just visited Varvakios Agora, a truly beautiful and "orthodox"meat market. Here it is all about the art of butchering whereas the aesthetics of fragmenting an animal into its anatomic parts has been more and more banned from Western Protestant civilization by presenting the cuts as an artificial, disconnected part of the animal, which looks like it never actually lived. There seems to be an inner logic of not eating the parts of an animal that define its very existence, its head, the brain as well as all the life spending organs. Thus we could say that people in Western societies of today tend to only eat the parts of an animal that are dispensable to its life, letting their subconsciousness suggest they didn´t kill the animal!
