What we think about food

Recently there has been a lot of talk amongst stores and restaurants a like about selling certain meats. The meats they are selling are often conceived as being, less than for one reason or another, but recently there has been a change of heart in america. While the movement might not be so old in restaurants major companies are starting to pick up to meet a consumers demand.

Whole foods is one major chain that has started selling a meat that is seen as 'different'. To be exact, you can now purchase delicious rabbit meat there for approximately $13.00/pound depending on location. In turn this has led to an uprising of individuals arguing against the food simply because it is seen as a pet. If you were to ask me I would say your ridiculous rabbit is amazing, but that is just one such meat.

Another that is gaining minor popularity in restaurants, not so much grocery stores is pigeon or better known as squab. While this trend has started to pick up in the recent years, it still seems extremely strange to me, but that is exactly what our current problem is. There is a stigma around these meats that only the great United States see's as less than, so how do we change it? 

We assimilate to the world like we have been doing in the past couple of years. Recently the internet has opened up this ability to discover cultures and traditions that 30 years ago could only seen in a book or in person. Change the stigma on the food and you can change your idea on what is actually tasty.
