I think the eating meat thing is a new thing for season two. I remember reading a post made by Lauren Faust saying that the ponies only used the pigs to find truffles, and that they didn't eat them (the pigs, they did eat the truffles). The meat might just be because one of the showwriters considers it to be part of a stereotypical breakfast, and didn't think the implications all the way through.
