Why do humans only eat the meat of herbivores and hardly any carnivores? Is it not delicious?

When it comes to food, we all know that we humans are omnivorous, which means we eat both meat and vegetables. But one thing is very strange, since the evolution of human beings, most of the meat we eat is from herbivorous animals, and basically we rarely eat meat from carnivorous animals. Why do humans only eat the meat of herbivores and not the meat of carnivores? Is it because the meat of carnivorous animals is not tasty? In fact, the real situation is not the case, but there are other reasons.

Everyone may wish to think about it carefully. We often have pigs, cattle, sheep, rabbits and so on. And these are grazing. The horses and deer that the Japanese in the neighboring country like to eat also eat grass. Most of the common meat we eat is herbivorous, and there are also specialized farms. Not to mention anything else, China is the world's largest pig-raising country.

The reason for choosing herbivores is that they are easy to domesticate and have low breeding costs. Most herbivores are more docile than carnivores. Moreover, in ancient times, herbivores were easier to capture, and the threshold for breeding was also low. In agricultural societies, herbivores that are easy to raise and domesticate have become our favorites.

Not many people know whether the meat of carnivorous animals is good or not, because not many people have eaten it, but it should not be too bad. And the reason why they don't eat it is not because the meat is not tasty, but because carnivorous animals are difficult to hunt. Compared with docile and non-aggressive herbivores, carnivorous animals are much more vicious than them. Not only is it very violent in character, but it is also very strong in size, even if an adult fights against it, it may not be able to take advantage of it.

Therefore, compared with such difficult-to-control carnivorous animals, those herbivorous animals that are regarded as meat by humans are much easier to domesticate. And their population is not small, as long as there are enough plants for them to eat, there is no need to worry about being eaten by humans until they become extinct. So now, the meat that people eat comes from herbivorous animals. And now you can't eat carnivorous animals if you want to, because most of them are protected animals, and you can't eat them if you want to.
