What's sort of smirky to me is that no one is saying it's unhealthful food, or tastes bad. Yeah I don't want dog in my burger but it does seem a shame to have a huge animal like that not be utilized. Over here (at least in Wyoming), we can't even slaughter a horse for use in pet food. If we'll wear horsehide gloves...

 
I'm not against eating horse, in fact we're off to Belgium on a house swap in April and Nancy and I intend to dine at a horse restaurant. K is a pescatarian (and, unfortunately, I believe that seahorses are a protected species, and there's not much eating on them anyway) and C is a beanatarian.
 
What I object to is big business being able to cheat. We're being charged for one thing and delivered another. And at the moment, at least the horse meat still had to be handled in a safe and hygienic manner. But as the clamour for more deregulation, less "big government" grows, what other corners will be cut? It's bad enough to discover we're not eating what we thought we were, but what if it might kill us? I thought we'd learnt our lesson from BSE and vCJD when BigFarmer wanted to feed the ground up spines and neural material of animals to other, vegetarian animals. But the Tories are back, deregulation on the menu and here we go again.
 
Gah. Sorry.

Small fry in the scheme of things.

And of course, it was the Irish food inspectors that found the horse meat in supermarket produce being imported into Ireland, our own FSA having been eviscerated by our shiny new pro-business and anti-redtape government, and so missed it.
 
What's hugely funny is that the right have been sniggering that it's all the fault of us plebs for being poor and having to eat cheap crap in the first place, only to find that up-market caterers have been serving horse to the great and the good at.....Royal Ascot races.

It's mainly Comingel, a French "food" "manufacturer" supplying the processed raw protein materials, although I dare say there are others. They generally bought horse carcasses from legitimate abattoirs - the Romanians are particularly pissed off with our idiot Agriculture Minister, Patterson, trying to blame them for the problem when they did nothing wrong - all their meat left the abattoir properly labelled as horse.
 
The big problem is that where you have big money, powerful retailers, squeezed producer margins and recently relaxed enforcement, guess what happens?

in watching this you'll see how state's rights if used properly could solve big govt problems

and if there's a way/methodology to help build a better government this may be it
