It is raw too. Crosses the line for me like shark fin. I am a foodie by all accounts but somethings are just too much for me.

Raw meat is delicious. Ever had sushi?

I would say the bigger problem would be the quality of how the animal was raised.

I'd imagine lightly medicated would be unlikely.

I am not eating a dog, a cat or a horse. I do not judge anyone who does, just not for me.

I am also ruling out panda bear.

I have had many raw meats and more sushi than I can remember, Osaka in Vegas is best, actually prefer it at least rare in most animals. That said I am unaware of any organic, grass fed Wagyu style horse meat farms producing this meat, which would be a second cause for concern, the first, for me anyway, is that it was a horse and I like horses.

Agreed.

But to not eat it because it's served raw seems silly.

I used to love many meats raw.

But after my first basic immunology/infectious diseases of animals courses, I never ate raw meat again, and I never will. Way too risky in 21st century. And believe me, I avoid a lot of other uncooked stuff from "certain restaurants", even fruits/veggy type stuff.

No, I would never eat horse meat. But it is high in protein, low in fat. Popular other countries, of course, as a protein source.

Yeah, I took similar courses in college. Comparative Pathobiology was disgusting.

I only eat meats I get from producers I know personally in my area (grass fed, no drugs, well water, etc..), and whatever I hunt. Nothing like eating venison with the steam still coming off of it.

Just got myself a freezer full of pasture raised, no grain fed chickens for like $1.50 a pound from a local family that homesteads.



Factory farmed meat that most people eat isn't even meat if you ask me.

Best part of living in CO is the available meats. Market or mountains.

Same here.

Great meats, great seafood (I get FRESH diver scallops for $3.95 a pound!), raw dairy, loads of wild and not so wild herbals, great foraging, etc...

Maine is tremendous.

Developed a shellfish allergy while in culinary school, got as far away from the water as I reasonably could to make that hurt less! Love Maine though, beautiful place.
