Counterpoint: lobster is delicious

Why are you okay eating cow meat and not house cat meat?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I don't eat either of them

Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we'd see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we'd probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.

You can't discount the role that tradition plays in that. Because mutton and goat would have replaced beef decades ago.

I wish mutton and goat were more available near me. Lamb can be had but I want bigger cuts for stew or curry.

All the cultures that do raise those as their primary meats prefer beef.

You're actually just interested in novelty.

Well, I can't fit a cow in my house, and it's not generally cute and cuddly, so it must die instead. But seriously though, are cats even delicious?

Technically modern insects are descended from shrimp and lobster, so this is bugs good vs dry bugs bad
