I am a meat eater myself, and do adhere to the cultural habits of meat eating within my own culture. I am just curious as to what has made the eating of certain meats taboo in some cultures but not in others. Is meat not just meat?
And I even find that it is not just a rule against a certain type of meat i.e. birds, or vermin or mammals. Many cultures will eat the meat of one animal within a group and be aghast at the idea of eating another animal within the same natural group.
Any ideas?
