Horse is falling off the menu in France

Ew-ww :-\
PARIS (Reuters) – Many people love horses and traditionally, many French people have loved them even more with a side of salad.

What people choose to worry about ... Sheesh!
Back in the early 70's I remember horse being sold in Canadian grocery stores for the simple reason that it was cheaper. Tasted tougher than beef and it didn't take as a part of the Canadian diet.
Like most people I too eat a lot more chicken than I use to, however, my doctor has advised me I had a B-12 deficiency, from lack of red meat eating. Indeed I had unknowingly virtually stopped eating red meat.
Horse meat is a cheaper variety of red meat, a good cheaper sourse of B-12 than beef (that is not available in chicken or pork). I was also told that the body does not absorb B-12 as well from vegetable sources (I do enjoy my veggies). FYI, I now take B-12 injections once a month.
"It disturbs us that people continue to eat horses at all and we are going to go on campaigning until people stop eating it altogether," said Constance Cluset, a spokeswoman for the animal welfare group created by the former actress."
(This last comment is obviously stated by someone and for people who don't have a lot of respect for pluralism.)
Animal rights advocates and vegetarian terrorists, such as Brigitte Bardot are not respecting the natural need of humans ... that we naturally need both vegetables and meat in out diet. Horse is just another meat sourse, one I don't enjoy eating, (like I'm not partial to fish either) however, to have horse re-labeled as a companian animal instead of a sourse of food is wasteful.
Just my opinion, of course.

I guess...but if I accept horse, I guess I'll have to start accepting dog and cat meat as well. :P

And when horse is no longer on the menu, what next? Rabbit? Bear? Moose? Seal? - oh wait - they (Europeans) are already banning Seal - and the seal population of the North Atlantic has boomed, drastically reducing even further the availability of Atlantic fish.
Same problem happened when bear hunting was banned in recent years. Now there's a bear population boom and they are terrorizing Northern towns in search of food.
People should stop unscientifically messing with the order of things, based on emotional criteria.
As for dogs, I do believe they are a part of the Korean diet. Let be.
Just trying to be more pluralistic.

Oh, so it's the seal's fault the Atlantic has been overfished? ::)

So it's the bear's fault that their prey is no longer around and they have to scrounge in trashcans? ::)
