Horse Flesh and Better Foods

COMMENTING upon the eating of horse flesh, the Christian Work says: “In France the meat of both horses and donkeys is openly sold in the butchers’ shops, duly labeled as such in large letters. Horse flesh is also largely consumed in Paris restaurants without any label, and passes easily for beef. We eat readily the flesh of swine, who wallow in filth and feed on anything, and we regard ducks as a delicacy; yet the flesh of the horse, which is one of the cleanest and most dainty feeding of animals, is eschewed.” But why not get our grains, fruits, and vegetables first-hand?
