Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Though the US is going through the process of banning the slaughter of horses for human consumption, Japan has said that despite the pending outcome, it will keep serving horsemeat that it imports from Canada and South America. Hidetoshi Akinaga, an official from the Agriculture Ministry said that "Japanese imports of horse meat are unaffected by the US vote because first of all Japan does not import that much from the United States."
Though I have never seen it in any Japanese restaurants here in Los Angeles, horse sashimi is a delicacy in Japan. It's a tough, emotional subject because in the US, horses are seen by many as companion animals, not food. At the same time, what elevates a horse over a cow?

Is this a picture of horsemeat? I must admit there's a nice marblization. Looks a bit fatty for my taste though.

I'm from the States and I did have to get my mind around the idea that it was okay to eat horse, but now that I have, I enjoy it the occasional (4-5 times per year) times we eat it. It does taste quite different from beef and is usually quite lean (so I'm surprised by how much fat there is in the picture here).

If we all work together then maybe we can help get this bill passed. Me and some friends are asking people to send an email to their senators asking them to push this bill through and vote to end horse slaughtering.
Go to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ and type in your zip code. Send an email to both of your US senators and tell them to stop horse slaughtering. The vote is coming before the Senate in early October so please do it NOW! :-) Thanks!!!
And here is a blog that we set up so you can read more information about it:
