But at the end of the day, you can't deny, "Beef is tasty".
Personally I like it raw (warm), and lean (doesn't get stuck in your teeth). Unfortunately the Japanese like their fatty meat (and its usually damn expensive to). That's usually when I look to the sushi aisle.
I need to get around to going to that raw horse meat restaurant some time.
For completeness, Dolphins are mammals and they are eaten for food (if you've eaten cheap canned tuna, you've probably had dolphin). Whales and seals as well. However, the "has a cute face" activists like to make giant protests about how its cruel to kill them, bla bla bla.
Ever think about how that carrot must've felt while you ate it alive.
Unfortunately the "don't hunt seals" thing is bull**** (whales aren't really, as overfishing is/was a problem), as an increase in seals will reduce the number of fish in the ocean.
Sorry for the lack of references, its just a rant.
