I was born in France, but I won't eat horsemeat on principle; having been to Indonesia and dealt with the dogs they have there, however, I'd happily spay and neuter each of them with my bare hands if I could. They're vermin. If it came down to clean vs dirty and we really thought about it, who’d eat eggs or shrimp?

Let's criticize the Eastern countries for "eating puppies", which is not quite so widespread as people want to believe. Why is it when anyone wants to criticize other country's eating choices, he/she first criticizes non-Western countries? The French eat horse meat and yet, that isn't as reviled as eating dog meat. Before anyone judges any culture's eating habits, much of which were created out of sheer necessity, let's also look at the way we eat. I'm sure Hindus shudder with revulsion at American beef consumption. Ah, yes. Let’s criticize the Eastern countries for “eating puppies”, which is not quite so widespread as people want to believe.

All are probably considered disgusting or unclean by someone else on this planet. My personal preferences are for lean cuts of pork or beef, fowl and fish. I can't eat rabbit because I've had them as pets. I could never knowingly eat a dog, a cat, monkey, rat, or a whale. I cannot imagine eating insects or rodents. But condemning a cuisine based on my personal prejudices would be small minded. Tastes evolve based on food availabliity, education, and local cultures. Educate others and provide a new food source and maybe you can convert them to a another cuisine.
