I react negatively to the idea of eating horse meat...and being tricked into eating it as a teenager by people in Belgium, where it's normal, did not help.
But I will stand up for people's right to eat horse meat (although ideally from horses raised for meat).
What I love to say to people who...
Serious question & I don't disagree w/ your comments: I'm wondering why horses raised for eating are somehow less worthy than those who aren't? (I've eaten horse meat & it was fine, although I won't eat it again.) Would ppl be ok with cats and dogs raised for meat?
...want to stop people from other cultures eating horse, dog, cat...is that there is a major world religion that disallows the consumption of beef. OUR normal eating habits are taboo to others, so we have no right to complain when others break our taboos. None.
