Absolutely no medical or nutritional reason not to eat horse.

It reminds me of the fooferaw many years ago in Southern California when people starting losing pets. It was right after Vietnam and many refugees had been expatriated to the states. Of course, the racists in the area started screaming "They're eating our cats and dogs!"

We treat horses more like pets than the work animals they used to be. And we tend to treat our pets too much like people.
