Horsemeat

Seems that our government is at it again. There is a bill before Congress that would prohibit the slaughter and sale of horse meat.
Please don’t misunderstand, I like horses and I don’t really want to eat them.  I’m guessing that most people in the U.S. don’t really want to eat them. That is, unless they were very hungry or looking for something strange or exotic sounding to eat. 
In Texas, it is illegal to possess horse meat. You can execute retarded people in Texas, but don’t eat the horse! 
You can pollute North Carolina with tons of pig shit, but never mind about that.
Doesn’t our Congress have more important things to do than worry about horse meat?
