"You are probably right the horse meat is probably the safest thing in some of them. "Thanks thats exactly the point i was trying to make. | |||
"It's not the fact that its horse meat, it's that it is labelled as beef. I've eaten horse abroad and no probs, but you should get what you pay for. Also, ok I guess it's highky ulikely but say a person was allergic to horse meat and had bought what they thought was beef. I have an answer to this, cook from scratch and buy from a reputable butcher" Thanks, the point i was making is why are the media and politicians making such a huge deal about horse. These meals are chock a block full of added saturated fats, sugar , salt and any number of toxic, carcinogenic E numbers and additives. For me it just highlights political hypocrisy and shows that politicians from all sides are bought off by the money major food producers donate to them each year. I kinda just wish govt would do what its meant to and represent the interests of the people and not global corporations. | |||

"Is horse cheaper than beef? Some of us do have to read what ingredients are in our foods before we buy them, the big problem is what is not declared on the ingredient label. Another big issue is if you do complain about a product you get the usual reply "Quality control blah blah blah" it is clear it does not exist where profits are concerned" Horse is cheaper than beef. And fat, salt, sugar, e numbers, toxic chemical additives are also cheaper. putting horse in probably made them healthier meals. The point is govt hypocrisy. | |||

"Any butcher can tell what animal meat comes from just by looking at it. Many are culpable. Start your own campaign and boycott any form of processed food"

"Any butcher can tell what animal meat comes from just by looking at it." Really, even if its minced! | |||
"Apart from the labelling issue the problem is horses are treated for some ailments that is toxic to humans and this meat has not (obviously) been tested for the drug. Horse meat for human consumption has to be proved to clear of this drug. Personally having eaten horse I don't have a problem with it but if something is labelled as beef then it should be beef and the meat what ever it is should be proven safe to eat. " All these points have been made numerous times before. The point i am making is that govt and the media have suddenly sprung into life over a relatively healthy ingredient being discovered in a value meal. Funny how they dont spring into life over the poisons and toxic additives found in the very same meals. | |||

"I read this morning that preliminary tests are indicating that the 'horse meat' is possibly donkey! We aren't even getting proper fucking horse!!!! GAH! "On Food and Drink last week there is a place in Europe (Italy possibly, cant remember exactly) do eat donkey. Im bothered about how and where these horses have been and how they died. Im not overly bothered about eating horse so long as its labelled correctly and it has been reared and slaughtered for human consumption. The thought of a scabby dead horse found at the side of the road and sold on to a slaughter house is what concerns me. If I buy something which says beef mince, then I expect it to be beef mince. Its like buying a tin of beans and opening it and finding dog food in it to me. | |||
