Is anyone familiar with horse meat in the US? I'd like to try some for a reasonable price, I've never heard of it being sold here though.

- cr1895 11y agoI found this article: http://priceonomics.com/when-americans-ate-horse-meat/ http://priceonomics.com/when-americans-ate-horse-meat/ Much to my surprise, in 2012 the US was the top 3rd producer of horse meat trailing China and Kazakhstan. It's illegal in some states to raise horses for human consumption. No federal funds are available to conduct necessary inspection of horse slaughterhouses, so the three major horse "slaughterhouses" just export the live horses to Canada or Mexico for slaughter before shipping the processed meet over to Europe.
