This is true for almost any urban city that has lost the connection between how they think things should be and how things really are. Most urban dwellers have no concept of what it's like to take a living creature and turn it into steak. The distance between the two events is so great that they can hardly imagine it. It's true for things other than meat eating, e.g. wind farms. Everyone wants good clean energy but no one wants a wind farm in their backyard. Everyone (in Seattle) wants to eat octopus salad but no one wants to drag one from the ocean and punch it until it dies.
