Last November, a five-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections was lifted without much fanfare from the government, reports the Associated Press. Opponents feared that horse slaughterhouses would begin to butcher meat for human consumption once the ban was removed. The USDA came out and said there were no slaughterhouses in the U.S. butchering horses to be used for human consumption, but they added that should one open, it would conduct inspections.  Horse meat as food has made headlines in the past. In 2007, animal rights activists were up in arms when celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay announced on his show The F Word that he believed the beloved racing animal should be served in restaurants. Despite the backlash, a poll in Time Out London revealed that 82 percent supported Ramsay&amp;#039;s belief. While it remains taboo in English-speaking countries, horse meat is regularly consumed in Asian countries and is produced for human consumption in parts of Mexico. It was once common in the U.S. \u2014 during the post-World War II food shortage. Do you think restaurants in the U.S. should be able to serve horse meat?
