Until I was 13, I didn't know that the meat I ate consisted of muscles. I thought that bodies contained muscles, lungs, all the usual internal organs - PLUS meat, which was sort of a filler material.
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that the meat you eat is turning to be your own muscles.— Yossi
- When you are very poor you "can't make end's meat." End's meat is some sort of cheap very low quality meat.— Betty
- I thought that eating chicken gave me muscles (chicken and muscles sound the same in Mandarin).— NG
- When I was six my sister told me Meat Pies were made from mashed up rats...to this day I can't eat a Meat Pie.— Jamie
- my brother used to believe that Ground Chuck meat was actually groundhog meat. Anon
- If you eat your fruits and vegetables you will grow much faster and your muscles will be very happy!— Bruno
