SO WHATS IN A NAME

meat is that really a name,so how come the word is used only to refer to non-eatable animals,like horsemeat,dogmeat,catmeat? when do u hear the words cowmeat,pigmeat, goatmeat,chickenmeat,sheepmeat,calfsmeat? Don't know that i have ever heard it call that,i wonder if its because one would not want to eat the flesh off of a cow pig goat sheep or chicken,so if we drop the name of the animal away from the flesh it helps in the appeal to convince us that this is really food?u know you will not find the word cowmeat in the dickshonary, u will find cow meat two separate words wonder why? So does renaming the animal make it meat?How about this cowmeat becomes steak,hamburger,chuck,and a zillion other names.Chickenmeat becomes just chicken please do not add the word meat to it if the desire is to get people to see it as food,sheep become mutton,pigs become pork.So whats in a name?In a (LHD in wimmin-only space)we have to talk about this and make the absence of meat a reality.
