it's like one of the finest meat I had

Looks like it's a state-based policy.

illinois and California

ewww

why ?

2007 = illegal
2011 = legal
2014 = illegal.

damn

is there any logical reason ?

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

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.

well that's the same here

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

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

```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.```

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

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

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

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

meh

```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.```

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

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.

well it's contain a lot less fat

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

100g of beef = 273 kcal

100g of horse = 175 kcal

Wow

less cholesterol, more proteins, etc

around 24g of protein

for beef yeah, horse is more around 28g

every number above depends of the quality of the meat tho

hmm that's not really japanese per say, looks more like a carpaccio of horse

the meat look marinated

Now I'd rather eat horse meat instead of beef now it's probably not sold around here because it seems unlawful seeing as why anyone would eat a horse and I suppose people have an image to maintain but it it's nutritional properties really outweigh beef by a good margin, we have to many useless cows here in America with their only purpose is being our food

What the fuck roo

well, come visit france nrg
