Excerpt from Hippophagy
Second Objection. - The taste is so peculiar, say the objectors, that a prejudice will always exist against its use. In answer, one may say that if we always argued in this manner, how can we account for the general use of very many articles of food, or drink, or simple luxury, which at first are rather distasteful, and which are now nearly universal. Tobacco, and many kinds of liquors, certainly require some effort before they can be used.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of horse meat for human consumption, dating back to the earliest human civilizations. It reveals that the practice, once widespread, was later abandoned in Europe primarily due to religious and cultural factors. However, the author argues that horse meat is a healthy and nutritious food source, and should be reconsidered in light of growing meat shortages in many parts of the world. The book delves into the history, cultural significance, ethical implications, and practical aspects of hippophagy, providing a comprehensive overview of this fascinating topic. It also examines contemporary efforts to reintroduce horse meat as a viable food option, challenging deep-rooted prejudices and advocating for its nutritional value and sustainability.
