Obama is doing his level best to deliver a second Great Depression including the choice cuts of meat that were served in the 30s.

In Europe there are entire shops dedicated to horse meat. I never tried it, but my dad liked it ok.

There was also talk of the best fries being made with horse fat.

Horse, dog, cat, Ostrich, Ox.

It’s all meat.

If you’re hungry, you’ll eat it.

The prophet Muhamad ate a lot of horses. Something has to fill the protein void as swine is phased out.

Nope. Not a joke. Just most articles blame congress instead of blaming Obummer. http://yourlife.usatoday.com/fitness-food/story/2011-11-30/Horses-could-soon-be-slaughtered-for-meat-in-US/51495306/1

Nay I say Nay! People are omnivores we eat anything but eating Michelle Obama seems like a step too far.

Horse meat is very dark and lean, much like elk. I personally have no problem with people eating horse, cow, dog, deer, raccoons, opossums, bear, cats, or alligators. In a free society, it is nobody’s business!

Perhaps this will drive down the price of beef.
