Why do we finding eating some animals acceptable and not others? Why is this different in different cultures?

Straight up just, “because”. I like grouse. I like moose. I like bear. I like deer. If it swims, I’ll eat it. Rabbits are pretty bad ass.
That’s because I’m from northern MN and that’s what’s worth killing and eating. Now I live in the Twin Cities. Just a couple hundred miles away and no-one eats grouse, moose, bear, venison, rabbit, or local fish that they caught themselves. Here people eat fancy. I’m sure there are some people down here that eat food that they’ve killed themselves but I don’t know any of them.
People eat what lives where they do usually. There are some specific religious rules, but they’re typically based in reason. We don’t eat owls because eating birds of prey is dangerous. They’re full of diseases. That sort of thing. Don’t eat animals that carry their house on their back. Again, full of diseases. There’s a good chance that eating pangolins gave us Covid-19. Armadillos carry leprosy. Turtles are usually made out of salmonella. Don’t eat animals that carry their house with them.
