so why a chicken, a cow, or a pig? I don't see the difference? Why do humans eat animals with flesh that is so similar to their own? If a human was skinned and butchered, the "meat" would look just like a steak. Just curious and want opinions

Actually I've heard Horse is tasty! How do you know what human flesh would look like steak have you been a cannibal for very long?

There is a big difference... first of all, cannibalism is very unhealthy and unnatural for any species. Cannibalism in humans can cause serious diseases. As for animals, the only real reason we eat certain animals and not others is because the ones that we don't eat are often domesticated and ones that we develop relationships with (such as a dog, a horse, or a parrot). People don't typically keep cows as pets, so they don't feel that emotional attachment.

If it was cooked with the right seasonings and served with some really good bread...(;
Seriously though, I think that the parrot, horse and dog are usually considered to be pets, while the other 3 you mention have been used for food for centuries. I have heard that pork is very similar to human flesh... there's something to "chew" on (pun intended)!

I've had horse meat multiple times- it's really common in Switzerland and Germany, and I suspect I ate a dog on one of my trips to Seoul. I've heard that parrots are chewy, so I wouldn't eat them.
I respect vegetarians, but I'm definitely not one.

I agree in principle but I have to eat meat due to some health problems; I used to be a vegetarian.
No, I would not eat a horse, dog, parrot, rabbit.

well they make dog food out of horses, they arnt really for human consumption.
Parrots are protected

I would never eat any of those options! Lots of times, people eat certain things and can't eat certain things becasue of their culture or religion. For example, I know someone who's not allowed to drink tea becasue of thneir religion. Your thinking is interesting though. I never thught about meat like that.

We eat chinese all the time, and that isnt real beef, or chicken, or whatever. It all tastes really good if you prepare it properly. I bet a human rump roast would be very tasty with a nice saffron sauce.
