What Foods Would You Consider Unacceptable To eat?
For Example, personally i would not eat horse, dog, cat etc. I am researching different views to animal rights for an english project and thought this would be an unusual angle, so it would be really helpful if you could just mention any animals that you yourself would not be prepared to eat and the reasons why, e.g : killed in a cruel way, against you culture, society has conditioned you not too, or any other reasons, the more specific the reasons are to the animal, the more it would really help me. thanks in advance, :)

I won't eat any of the things you mentioned either. I won't eat anything that is considered endangered (you can get a list on the Green Peace website). I go to the farmers market and only buy free range hormone free meats and eggs. I don't eat processed foods either.

For me, it's very cultural and regional (I live in Alaska), as well as my having a deep affinity for most animals. I eat moose on a regular basis; my family hunts legally, and I know the moose is shot quick and clean, without suffering, and none of the meat is wasted. I also know the moose is on its natural diet, without any meddling by humans. I do eat chicken and pork, and occasionally turkey, and trust those meats to a comfortable degree. I don't necessarily agree with methods of raising and killing, and prefer free-range when I can get it. I eat very little beef; I find it fatty and seriously do NOT trust how they're raised, what they're fed, and how they're killed. I don't eat mutton or lamb because I simply don't like the taste, so I haven't had to examine my personal feelings there. I refuse to eat veal, absolutely not, from all that I have read and/or heard about those poor calves.
I could not ever eat cat, dog, horse. These, to me, are intelligent pets and companions, and should not be reduced to being food for humans who have plentiful other food sources. I realize there are definite cultural disagreements. Likewise, I feel similar to rabbits and snakes. Not in the manner of intelligence, but I just couldn't bring myself to eat them because of how I feel about them as animals.
I could never, ever eat insects unless I was starving, but that's just being squicky. :P
I won't eat shark or whale or seal because they are dangerously overhunted (and seals are adorable). I will eat common fish and other seafood such as crab, lobster, salmon, halibut, clams, shrimp, etc. and in fact am fortunate to live in a state where they are plentiful (well, not lobster, but the others are).
