Of course you do, it's great meat, light and lean and more subtle than beef.
This just says a lot about you, you horrible, horrible Frenchie. Would you eat Pinkie Pie, you monster?

What is it with Americans and their hang-up about eating horse? I don't like it myself, but the way you're acting, it sounds like Americans all used to love their horses, know what I mean?

I don't know about that but I do love eating pinkie pie.

It's the same principle behind why we don't eat our dogs or our cats.

Unless they're proselytising, though, why would they have to justify their stance?
They don't. But they do often ram it down your throat, so to speak. I'm interested in people and reasons for things so sometimes I'll even ask, and sometimes I get a nice answer but mostly it's hippy dippy nonsense that is then followed up by some pseudo-science bs and a revelation about their diagnosis of gluten intolerance their acupuncturist gave them on the way back from the homoeopathy clinic.
Don't get me wrong - there are lots of vegetarians who are fine. Heck, I was one for about 3 months once (by choice) and it was quite a refreshing experience. But stuff like this tends to go hand in hand with being a crazy bangle lady and it, sadly, naturally attracts nutters.

So, the article is a little unclear here. Does Lidl sell reindeer meat all year round, and it's just now that anybody's making a stink about it? Or did they start selling reindeer steaks right before Christmas? Cause that would be pretty fucked up.

Given that the article is two years old it's probably safe the fuss was over a long time ago.

I'm vegetarian mainly because I've dissected a lot of things and can't really look at muscles as food any more. But, it is cheaper, it uses less resources, and it doesn't involve mistreating things with, in some cases, quite high operating intelligence. Why, on the other hand, do meat eaters always feel the need to make vegetarians justify themselves? Its like you think we're cheating, somehow.

Because vegetarians are apparently ramming something down Subjeff's throat. I'm not sure what they're ramming, possibly a large leek?
