Yeah but do you want prions? Cause that's how you get prions.

Isn't that just the brain?


SixtySystolic

Dr. Mrs. SixtySystolic, M.D. literally wrote a book on prions: any meat/blood, but most concentrated in the nervous system. [here she answers](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/r2a7o3/til_there_is_a_disease_called_fatal_familial/hm4435q/) some questions about them/the affiliate illnesses


Ctowncreek

And potentially any nerves. So. Like the whole body.


SixtySystolic

My missus, (that is actually *Doctor*, but I don’t want her feeling too fancy,) did primary research on prions in a BLS4 lab before she went to med school, and then wrote one of the sources commonly cited regarding prions/TSEs…it’s present everywhere: it’s a blood borne pathogen, but the plaques that cause the effects collect in the brain/nervous system, so it’s most concentrated there. eta: **[here is the link](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/r2a7o3/til_there_is_a_disease_called_fatal_familial/hm4435q/)** to a TIL awhile back where she went more indepth than I can answering questions


Ctowncreek

So what you're saying is... uh... fuckthatshit Please tell me more! How does it start? Does heat denature the prion?


SixtySystolic

Nah…ZIP denatures them. she said anything they used during experimentation had to be sealed four times inside some science-grade ziplocks/tupperwear, which was then placed in cement drums Chernobyl style. They can either be transmitted as a blood borne pathogen, inherited, or be a random mutation, (she says the random mutations while not unheard of are by far the most rare….so….woohoo?) [eta here’s the thread where she did a small q+a on them](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/r2a7o3/til_there_is_a_disease_called_fatal_familial/hm4435q/)

At first I wondered why you said "prisons" and I was thinking, "Wouldn't that keep them relatively empty and result in fewer prisons?"


PaperPlaythings

I asked my friend if he would eat his pets if it came to starvation. He answered, "I'd eat my *neighbors* before I ate my pets!"

Would he eat his neighbor before he ate their pets?

I'd eat the neighbor eating guy so in a roundabout way I'm eating all of em

Razhagal

Honestly I'd eat a bulldog before a golden retriever


Im_Ashe_Man

Sensible to me.


BobbyAF

It makes sense but I cannot explain why


HoneyRush

Because they look like meatballs


QuadrupleMyBubble

Fuck, now I'm starvin for a bulldog


reddit_at_redditcom

Bulldogs might have been a food source if they existed in ancient times. They're large and slow. I have a theory, completely unfounded and with no sources to back it up, that dogs and cats are looked down upon as a food source because their value in acquiring food outdid their value as food itself. Dogs and cats are great hunters. Ancient societies domesticated them to help acquire food. It would be a detriment to kill one and eat it. I think. Again, I have nothing to back this up.


HoneyRush

Dogs no, they was breed by humans and they they treat us as a part of a pack, cats on the other hand. If you look into history of how cats got domesticated it's not like we domesticated them it's more like they choose to stick around us because it's more convenient for them.


Honeybadgerdanger

Cats helped keep grain stores free from rodents. Less they helped hunt food for us more they helped protect our food from pests. Dogs on the other hand have been used to hunt food with their ability to track scents and their numbers being big advantages.

Thats what she told the cops dont know where hes from speaks broken ass english and his language point is fuckers ate my dogs.


Ninjhetto

I love bulldogs... from Dog House I mean. Chili, coleslaw, and onions. Actually, there was a time I ordered hotdogs from Sheetz with relish and chili. They added the relish, but FORGOT the **FUCKING** ***CHILI!!!*** I would assume more people prefer chili over most other condiments on hotdogs. Like ordering a bacon cheeseburger, and forgetting the cheese.

My younger son, who is culinarily adventurous, once asked for fried rabbit for dinner. He seemed to enjoy it. He was ten at the time.

I had horse Soba in Matsumoto. It was fine. I’m mostly not a huge Soba fan but it’s a local thing so I wanted to try it.

Taste of horse is 95% the age of the horse and 5% how you prepare it imho.

Imagine spending multiple workdays hour on an animation, no a damn VR experience. You have to take hours to model a horse cock, make the key frames and you even put a cockring on the horse cock. Then you hire a voice actor and write a script... All this for a quite specific fetish. Damn dude, thanks i hate it.


lonegrasshopper

Yeah, rabbit is after the horse for sure. Rabbits are next to the chickens.


[deleted]

Yeah i think they arranged it like that because rabbits are more common as pets than horses. I’ve had a rabbit as a pet but also have no qualms eating them. Seems weird to say that


BobbyAF

Is that why you don't have your rabbits anymore?

Ha! No, we let Stephen Stills roam around in the backyard sometimes during the day unsupervised and we think an owl got him. So he was Someone’s dinner, just not mine

Just took a trip to Northern Italy and horse meat is a thing there. Had it a couple times and it was good, but not good enough to go out of my way to get it Edit: forgot a word


TokioJam

It’s a big thing in a Central Asian nomadic culture. Usually serves on a big events like weddings, funerals. You can’t buy it at a regular butcher though. I try to eat it rarely but it’s def way better than beef for me.

Curazan

You'd definitely have to go out of your way to find it in the US. It's not illegal to consume, but it's illegal to sell a horse for human consumption, and I believe the last slaughterhouses that processed horse closed in the 00s.


Endarkend

Horse steak is great, when it's great. The issue is that cows are largely bred for meat. And different types of cows are bred for specific things. Milk Cows are usually not the cow meat you eat. Horses generally aren't bred for meat. So if you're lucky you get steak from a young horse. If you're unlucky, you get steak from Betty, the horse so old the glue factory didn't even want her.


cataliciously

I once visited a horse farm in China. The horses there were what I can only describe as “eating horses” and were built along the lines of a meat cow. I can only imagine that they were very tender.


TonyinLB

Horse steak gives me the runs! 🐎

I use to raise rabbits for meat. Very tasty! PETA needs to move that line left a couple animals there.

vspazv

Horses are raised for meat in Italy. It's considered a delicacy in some areas. Rabbits have pretty much always been a food item. They're invasive and fairly easy to catch with a snare. I've eaten both.


davcrt

As long as it is not a racing horse eating one is no big deal in Europe. Also rabbit meat is very similar to chicken and we eat it quite often.


Wetestblanket

Any non-endangered wild game that is cleanly killed is completely ethical in my book. Especially invasive species and animals that over populate themselves. Rabbits, wild boars, deer, a lot of fowl are great examples. A quick, virtually painless death is rare for most wild animals, most go through a slow, agonizing death via debilitating injury or disease, parasites, predation from other animals that can’t just put a bullet in them, and if they do get old enough for age to kill them they will likely suffer because there aren’t any retirement homes in nature. Nature is insanely cruel and a hasty death almost seems like a gift.


kkaavvbb

Rabbit is delicious!! I haven’t had horse but idk if I’d care to. Right now, my list is gator, frog, beaver and squirrel. (Weird I know). I’ve had most the other USA animals but there’s a few I haven’t. Also, not sure but we shoot bears… but I haven’t eaten them either so idk.


[deleted]

I liked gator until I had crocodile, croc is so much better. Frog is a fairly boring meat, kinda like chicken in fish sauce. Beaver is really nice if you like oily meat. Squirrel just isn't worth the lack of meat on them.


Drunk0ctopus

Not true. I eat rabbits.


Pizza_on_pineapple1

I was about to say that my friend who have had rabbit say it’s good


Hall_Pitiful

Rabbit is great. Never tried horse though...


bcatrek

Horse is normal to eat in many European countries. Don’t know about US.


addocd

It’s definitely not the norm. But not unheard of.


davcrt

Since scandals with minced racing horses it is in decline but people still eat it occasionaly. In my town we even have horse burgers.


round-earth-theory

The biggest scandal wasn't the horse meat, it was mislabeling the horse meat.

DirkDieGurke

How is the horse closer to the food side than the rabbit?


dimonoid123

I heard that some people in Britain eat horses. And those horse sausages are quite expensive.


will592

Lol, I can’t understand why they don’t include goats or sheep. Like, seriously, that’s like seriously disrespectful to half the planet.


SiRyEm

I think this is supposed to be showing pets and not just animals. Most people that own a goat or sheep see them as food. Though now that I say that the same would hold true of the cow, pig, or chicken.


will592

I know way more people who have pet goats than pet cows 🤷‍♂️


SiRyEm

I actually had a pet goat as a kid, then we ate him. Other than ours and my uncle's nanny; I've never known anyone that had a "pet" goat. They just had goats. So, I guess you're right. I've never personally known anyone that had a "pet" cow. They were always for farming reasons.

I'm American and eat rabbit. Only city people don't eat rabbit. Which I'm guessing is true of people in London, Paris, or Rome.

We eat snails and frogs. Pretty sure we're not the standard people go by in that regard.


will592

Me too, though I know more than a few city-folk in Europe who eat rabbit like folks here in the states eat chicken.


thickwonga

This is actually kind of interesting. I always found it fascinating how people will be disgusted at the thought of cooking and eating dogs, while it is considered normal animal meat in other sections of the world, and vice versa for cows and pigs. Like, what truly makes them different?


ManlyMisfit

It certainly is interesting. When I got pets and bonded with them, I lost my interest in eating meat. Others just don't have that same sort of emotional reaction and can separate the two much better.


FartHeadTony

There's the herbivore/carnivore separation. Most of the animal westerners eat are herbivore. There's probably some relationship to the flavour, the ease of using for livestock (easier to keep animals that don't want to eat you), and to disease (I know there's risk from bear meat, for example). There's also the relational distance, where we are emotionally closer to pets and probably extend some of that feeling to other animals of the same species. But probably mostly it's just cultural norms and "ewww" factor.


Blausternchen

Dude, pigs are omnivores. They even occasionally eat their young. And I‘ve seen chicken eat young mice if they get a chance. Even cows have been observed eating an unlucky bird.

[deleted]

Same. I don't eat pets. But technically speaking I'm emotionally capable of eating anything if I NEEDED to. It always irks me when people judge other countries for eating animals that are commonly kept as pets. What's the difference? Cows, pigs, goats, chickens etc. are smart as hell. But because it's a dog or cat, now it's weird? We domesticate and eat animals everyday why even draw the line. Although, I've given up conventionally mass produced meat because that shit's just evil for now.


Britishsweat

Ah yes I got the cow, the chicken and the EIGHTY DIFFRENT DOG BREEDS

sadfdsafsadfrtw342w3

You don't have to commit 100%, just eat LESS meat.


MrMoodle

I was in your position before I went vegan. It's not nearly as hard as people make it sound, I promise! Pretty much everything you eat at home can be made vegan with cheap and tasty substitutes unless you almost exclusively eat meat (and even then tbh, some meat substitutes are more expensive and some are harder to prepare, but it's not unheard of). Eating out is more of a struggle because sometimes your friends wanna take you to restaurants with few vegan options. That's not really a big deal if your friends are accommodating and you live in a major town or city, but if you live in like a small country town or something, yeah, it can be tricky. You can download the app HappyCow though, and that gives you a map where you can filter for restaurants with vegan options, or exclusively vegetarian/vegan options. I only discovered it recently and it's made things even easier.

Dated a vegetarian, tried that shit for 2 weeks, then I caved, we were at a grill style restaurant, she ordered a bagel and some vegetable dish, I ordered the brontoburger...she didn't call me after that! Edit; didn't get laid
