#
In UK, eating cow is acceptable,
eating sheep is acceptable
eating pig is acceptable
eating horse is unacceptable
I don't understand any of it.

# I think it is a historical hangover
Old horse probably tastes crap. Young horse was too valuable to eat because it was too useful for plowing, transport etc. Eating a horse might give you 10 meals, using a horse to work on a farm will give you 1,000 meals.

# I was told that the older the horse, the better the meat.

So you can work Dobbin hard, ride him for many a year, and when he goes lame... nom nom!

# What I mean is, I can understand being okay eating any animal, or refusing to eat any animal.
I can't understand the halfway positions which most people seem to adopt.
Also, I'm tired of people asking me "but you still eat fish, right?"

# True, I don't understand
the halfway types either. I'll eat, or at least try, almost anything (If you are paying). The only food I wouldn't give a go would be because it was endangered etc. I don't understand people who say 'I don't eat X' when usually there are about 500 ways to prepare it that all taste a bit different.

# And plenty of other places. Went to a market in China where they had many a sad-looking dog for sale for its meat
Humans eat everything unless society says it's bad... alligators, spiders, cats...

Gah. Even my own 'sad-looking' comment is evidence of anthropomorphising. Bum.
