2017-03-06 02:45:00 UTC  

I wonder.... I don't know if I ever had rabbit.

2017-03-06 02:45:12 UTC

2017-03-06 02:45:22 UTC  

It's common around here cause of all the rednecks.... But hmmmmmmmm.

2017-03-06 02:45:44 UTC  

do only rednecks eats rabbit in your country ?

2017-03-06 02:45:51 UTC  

what about horse ?

2017-03-06 02:46:57 UTC  

I gotta check the legality of that. Iirc, horse meat bounces in and out of legality.

2017-03-06 02:47:06 UTC  

O.o

2017-03-06 02:47:13 UTC  

seriously ?

2017-03-06 02:47:27 UTC  

Yeah, I know for sure it was banned at least once.

2017-03-06 02:48:15 UTC  

it's like one of the finest meat I had

2017-03-06 02:48:20 UTC  

Looks like it's a state-based policy.

2017-03-06 02:48:20 UTC  

Huh appaarently it does bounce in and out

2017-03-06 02:48:24 UTC  

especially in texas

2017-03-06 02:48:51 UTC  

illinois and California

2017-03-06 02:49:15 UTC  

ewww

2017-03-06 02:49:25 UTC  

why ?

2017-03-06 02:49:48 UTC  

2007 = illegal
2011 = legal
2014 = illegal.

2017-03-06 02:50:05 UTC  

damn

2017-03-06 02:50:18 UTC  

is there any logical reason ?

2017-03-06 02:51:02 UTC  

Looks like it wasn't the meat itself, but budget reasons.

2017-03-06 02:52:03 UTC  

They didn't want to spend the budget that would allow proper inspection of horse slaughterhouses.

Idk how it is in France, but no inspection = not legal for commercial sale.

2017-03-06 02:52:21 UTC  

well that's the same here

2017-03-06 02:53:09 UTC  

Yeah, sounds logical. But you never know when there's gonna be some random country that doesn't have quality health policies.

2017-03-06 02:53:20 UTC  

I mean, wait, are you telling me that your taxes serve to pay the inspection of the beef slaughterhouses ?

2017-03-06 02:54:18 UTC  

```A budgetary provision banning the use of federal funds to carry out mandatory inspections at horse slaughter plants (necessary to allow interstate sale and exports of horse meat) has been also in place since 2007. Such restriction was temporarily removed in 2011 as part of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2012 but was again included in the FY2014 Agriculture Appropriations Act and subsequent federal budgets, hence preventing the operation of any domestic horse slaughter operation.```

2017-03-06 02:55:35 UTC  

here, any slaughterhouse trying to sell their meat has to pass the inspection, which is held by private organisation that get money from the slaughterhouses

2017-03-06 02:56:10 UTC  

those private company have to be homologated but that's all

2017-03-06 02:56:48 UTC  

why would you use federal money for that, it's a bit strange

2017-03-06 02:57:44 UTC  

Just your usual American spending, from the sound of it.

2017-03-06 02:58:00 UTC  

meh

2017-03-06 02:58:51 UTC  

```Until 2007, only three horse meat slaughterhouses still existed in the United States for export to foreign markets, but they were closed by court orders resulting from the upholding of aforementioned Illinois and Texas statutes banning horse slaughter and the sale of horse meat.```

2017-03-06 02:58:56 UTC  

you can sell ionized (irradiated) meat but not horse meat...

2017-03-06 03:00:54 UTC  

The thing is, I really want to try horse meat.

Saying that here would get you some pretty weird looks, but I always viewed more muscular meats as better. And we all know how muscular horses are.

2017-03-06 03:01:27 UTC  

well it's contain a lot less fat

2017-03-06 03:02:12 UTC  

for 100g of beef, 18g of fat, for 100g of horse meat, 6g of fat

2017-03-06 03:03:03 UTC  

100g of beef = 273 kcal

2017-03-06 03:03:16 UTC  

100g of horse = 175 kcal

2017-03-06 03:03:43 UTC  

Wow
