I haven't fact checked this but cultural aversions to meat are some of the most deep seated according to a prof I had in college. It's why even when a person quits a religion say Islam with an aversion to pork they might still avoid it even if they say drink alcohol
And you see this broadly across cultures. Strange to us meats weird us out in a way say strange to us fruits don't. There's no logical reason I refused to eat horse on France but was willing to give musk ox a try in Greenland except us culture says horse isn't food
Exactly. Activists who think that they’re gonna persuade Americans to think about eating a pig as the same thing as eating the family dog are, quite frankly, delusional.
