People need to distance themselves emotionally from their food. I don't eat horses and probably never will but that is a personal choice; I don't care if other people do(and I am horse owner!). Most people wouldn't think twice about eating a pork chop or a cheeseburger yet they are products of animals, the same as horse flesh. Horses are just animals, but we think of them as friends yet pigs are smarter then horses and in some cases can be more attached to people, yet we don't raise hell about eating them. What you eat is a product of the social atmosphere you are raised in, but we need to remember what's food is food, and different cultures enjoy different cuisine.
