I've eaten horse meat many times and it is one of the best, leanest meats you'll ever taste!. In some European countries you can buy (horse) steaks or sausages. In Japan it is served raw and considered a delicacy, and an honor to buy it for you, as it is very expensive. People should just chill. We eat frogs, pigs (who roll around in dirt), fish that swim in poluted water, chickens that are raised in horrible conditions, etc.

Love it when economists point out the irrational like this. It's great because the only rebuttal is an irrational one thus confirming the point.
