While self-interest arising from the enjoyment of meat eating is obviously one reason for its entrenchment, and inertia another, a process of language usage engulfs discussions about meat by constructing the discourse in such a way that these issues need never be addressed.

Meat becomes a symbol for what is not seen but is always there--patriarchal control of animals and of language.
Carol J. Adams
