What percentage find meat more appealing after the break?

They are primarily looking at moral disgust here. It can be appealing to taste buds and morally disgusting at the same time

I feel this. Eat meat just about every day, because I'm a caregiver and cook for others, and it's just too much work to cook multiple meals every night. But at this point I am very ready to cut out meat, and have occasional meat disgust. What's weird is that I've had it since I was a kid. It's this random thing where 99% I have no gross out vibe with it at all, but every once in a blue moon the thought of it just makes me queasy, especially if I've recently reduced the amount I'm eating (like when we buy impossible burgers or go on a tofu kick)

I would be interested as well. My family was almost completely meat free for a month and a half. I have no taste for meat anymore, but my spouse craved it even more for a long time.
