    “the government” did not talk about donkey meat at all. Maybe you should read the article before posting anything? Also, I didn’t live a “long time” in Argentina, I lived there my whole life. And I can confim that this story is absolutely false.

    Oh, and we’re not on reddit.

      Chillll… Its just donkey meat and the internet. The government does in fact talk about it. They publish reports about animal meat production and consumption like every nation. It’s part of their annual reports that prove a point that I really don’t care about at all. If you want to say they only eat cow in Argentina because you know best and no one can use internet sources to prove you wrong… Fine. Great. I don’t know what to say. You won this internet battle! Yay!

        They don’t talk about meat, but not “donkey” meat. Because it’s not used for human consumption. You’re more than welcome to prove me wrong, but you haven’t. I believe that already speaks for itself.

        And yeah this type of news bothers me because it promotes an erroneous idea of what Argentina is actually like. I once hosted a German student for a month and, while the guy was pretty chill, he was expecting my city to be full of cows and nature. Once I was watching How I Met Your Mother and when they go to Argentina they should either hippies on a beach living on what appears to be a jungle or an extremely run down hotel in Buenos Aires. Neither were even remotely close to real life.
