I want to learn how to cook...but how to overcome one's fear of facing the ingredients?

I admit I'm scared of holding raw things. I also pity the animals. I can't even look at fish or chicken heads.

😅 I need a lot of help on this one.

Well luckily half the meats coming through stores are lab grown so technically it isn't an animal. Think about it that way! I used to hate touching raw ingredients but the outcome always made me persistent to perfect my craft.

@Vinkyma No they're not, lab grown meat is extremely expensive and rare. The meat on the shelves is almost always from a factory farm; the animals suffered horrendously and were killed.

@BlueVeins The lab grown meat is not rare at all. There's some brand of chicken now that don't taste the same. The meat just feels different. But ykw now that I think Abt it, my original comment wouldn't have helped anyway because she also has a texture issue
