Why do humans generally eat only the meat of herbivores and not the meat of carnivores?

In terms of biological knowledge, it means that because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, they feed on herbivores such as grass, sheep, wolves, grasses, rabbits, foxes, etc. In the food chain, energy flows in one direction and decreases gradually, with a transfer rate of 10 20 (i.e., only 10 20 of the total energy of producers and consumers at each level can pass through the food chain to the next level). Moreover, toxic substances also increase with the food chain, the higher the trophic level, the more toxic substances accumulate in the organism, and the trophic level of carnivores is higher than that of herbivores, so the accumulation of toxins in carnivores is higher than that in herbivores.

Therefore, eating the meat of herbivores can make the toxins relatively less, so humans generally only eat the meat of herbivores.

Because there are fewer carnivores, and the meat of carnivores is very unpalatable, and carnivores are not particularly easy to catch. So the number is relatively small.

Because carnivore meat is generally very unpalatable, herbivore meat has a very good taste and is very chewy.

Because it is a protected animal. Generally, carnivores have a very high status, such as lions and tigers, which are protected animals and are not allowed to eat.

From ancient times to the present, why do humans generally only eat the meat of herbivores and not the meat of carnivores?

There are many reasons for this, first of all, herbivores are easier to manage, they can be farmed on a larger scale, the number of humans is huge, the demand for meat is also very strong, herbivores produce much more meat than carnivores, and herbivores are easier to manage in the process of breeding, and carnivores are at risk of injuring people.

One of the most important reasons is that the cost of raising herbivores is much lower than that of carnivores, for example, raising a tiger to adulthood requires a lot of meat, but the tiger can provide us with very little meat when it is an adult, completely disproportionate, if it is for food, herbivores are far more cost-effective than carnivores, which is why humans basically only eat herbivores.

This is mainly because herbivores are easy to catch. It is easy to raise, too. So we're basically eating these herbivores. On the contrary, carnivores are not easy to catch. It's also not easy to raise, so it's hard to eat.

Because herbivores are easier to raise, the cost is relatively low. Of course, not for this reason, just consider the cost.

One is that herbivores are easy to feed and do not cost money, and the other is that herbivores are more docile, compared to carnivores. The third is that the tools of ancient people were not advanced, and they could not kill carnivores.

Because carnivores are at the top of the food chain, their numbers are particularly scarce, and most of them are protected animals, so humans cannot eat them.

It's not easy to raise, it's not easy to catch, that's because people raise these things to eat meat, and as a result, you raise a carnivore, feed them with meat, and eat their meat, what's the picture, it's not very delicious.

Economically, carnivores belong to the upper layer of the food chain, and the number is much smaller than that of herbivores.

In terms of health, toxins will accumulate in the reverse along the food chain, the closer to the upper layer, the more toxins will be carried, fortunately in ancient times, there were no pesticides and no clenbuterol, at that time the meat was basically not toxic, and now the meat fed to animals may have no food additives?

In terms of force, carnivores have a certain degree of aggression, and if they cannot organize a certain amount of force, it is not certain who eats whom.

It's not funny, it's not funny....

This is because carnivores are very difficult to kill and may cause injury to hunters. It's not because the meat of carnivores is not tasty, it's just that it's more difficult to kill.

It's not that it's not delicious, it's not easy to raise, and the cost of breeding is too high.

The main thing is that carnivores can't afford to raise.

Carnivores can't win, if they win, they eat it, if they lose, they eat you, it's too risky, and the herbivores are easier to bully.

I didn't eat that kind of meat since I was a child
