Horse meat, your opinion!

[Tsa-la-gi Nation]

I'd like to have the answer of the older argue we have, here, in South Yorkshire!

Im an American, Ive never eaten horse(as far as I know) but I can say with absolute certainty that I do not find the idea of eating horses to be offensive or off putting at all and I would dine on a horse in a heartbeat, so long as the person cooking it was known to me to be familiar with its preparation.

I agree with this. However, a few months ago, congress legalized horse slaughter for human consumption. I worry about about fastfood quietly becomming, lets say 35% horse - 65% beef, without the consumer even knowing it.

I do however eat eggs, & I think I'm going to go cook some right now

just look at whether they claim at as beef or meat. kinda like hotdogs the standard hotdog is beef, chicken and pork, but are labeled as such.

its probably better then no meat. i'm not sure i know or care if i've eaten it or not. considering how many things i've eaten, in places where other people were eating it too, and they didn't keel over either, that i have no idea what the mystery meat in it was, it's certainly at least possible. but i haven't knowingly sought it out.

i kind of like the "i don't eat cars", except i kind of wish somebody would, or at least melt them down to make solar powered narrow gauge trains out of.

but horses, well any meat i eat, some creature has to have lived and died for me to be able to do so. i don't see a horse as any more immune to this then any other living thing.
i'd rather eat cloned cells then for anything to have to be killed, but i consume a rather large percentage of animal protean, which is at least not unnatural. humans aren't the only omnivours that do, and of course absolute carnivours would starve if they didn't.

if there's one meat we souldn't eat, its monkey or pig, as spungiform encifalitus has been statistically linked in a big way to canabalism. the bovine form used to be called mad cow. the human forms are alzhiemers and i forget the other one, though i had it a minuet ago. (got to lay off the bacon) far as i know, horses aren't anywhere near as closely related.
