Americans don't like to eat horses because horses have strong symbolic value. It's a symbol of (and once was literally) a vehicle for power and rugged individuality. To us, eating a horse is like saying we bend over for Europe to fuck us in the ass.
Symbolically, it would be like eating a bald eagle.
We would eat horse more than bald eagle if we still lived off the land. Horse is better for you than the toxic over crowded chicken everyone loves. At the rate were going were gonna have to eat bugs soon.
Is this where the taboo to eat horses in America came from?
Does anyone know the origins?
