    Pigs are pretty smart and bacon is delicious. I also hear dog taste amazing. So if having emotions and intelligence makes meat taste better,( not sure it works that way.) Then Smurfs would taste pretty damn good.

      I think people are overselling dog to you. All I have read on the subject say that meat-eating animals generally don’t taste all that good. They’re usually far more gamey than any deer or rabbit you’ll eat.

      Maybe if you like gamey? I don’t mind a bit, but “overwhelmingly” is an an adverb I’ve read in conjunction with “gamey” in the case of meat-eating animals.

        Yeah, in general, eating carnivores isn’t the way to go. Not only are they less wholesome nutritionally, but they can also contain more toxins because of their diet. Plus, they can’t really be consumed easily at scale, because of the amount of energy they need to live.

        Fish are an exception to this, but I’m not sure why. The fish we eat are mostly at least omnivores though
