I’ve never hunted, nor fished, nor been apart of the killing/processing of any kind of meat.
My 6yo is asking me how animals end up on our plate. I tend to over-explain and I think that wouldn’t be healthy in this situation.

Sorry to say there’s no way to go into specifics without it sounding cruel. Animals don’t want to die. There’s no kid friendly way to explain it unless you don’t want them to draw their own conclusions from what you tell them. Tell your kid what happens without any bias. It seems like you’re just afraid that telling them may make them not want to eat meat. I think that says more about your cognitive dissonance regarding meat consumption than whether or not your child is ready for the topic.
