Aww. I do eat wild rabbit once or twice a year. They're very tasty. Eating them is not so difficult, actually. It's skinning them that's really heartbreaking. Apart from gruesome, that is.

The beef industry is pretty energy gluttonous. If we didn't use pretty close to the whole animal one way or another I would not be able to justify it.
I've eaten rabbit. It's got a different texture. I don't really like the smaller animals though as they don't seem to have the same complexity of flavour you get from beef, pork, or mutton. Pasture raised sheep is actually supposed to be pretty good for the environment. Expensive as hell around here though.

We eat rabbit round these parts all the time, in fact both my mother and sister keep fighting each other who gets to suck the brains out. Me, i hate it. I prefer beef or sheep or pig...or horse. Horse emat is actually pretty good.

Not sure about guinea pig, but I know that rabbit is deficient in several key vitamins and requires the body to burn other key vitamins during the digestive process (it's also extremely lean. So a person can die of malnutrition if they eat nothing but rabbit (a condition called rabbit starvation). I realize that one can simply supplement a rabbit-based diet with other foods to counter the lack of nutrients, but that tends to be inefficient; similar how vegetarians need to eat a lot more plant-based protein and/or take additional supplements when compared to those who have an omnivorous diet.
