Default Americans now eating horse meat - how much worse can it get?

I don't know what's worse.

Artificial calimari (made from pig bung) or hamburgers made from horse
meat.

But this is what it takes to give the average american something he
barely can afford (a 99 cent happy meal).

Such is life when you're going down the toilet...

Burger King To DNA Test Its Beef After Food Processor Used Horse Meat

February 1, 2013 10:55 AM

http://tampa.cbslocal.com/2013/02/01...ed-horse-meat/

MIAMI, Fla. (CBS Tampa) – Burger King will reportedly test its meat to
make sure it is 100 percent beef after horse DNA was found in beef
products from one of its food processors.

Diego Beamonte, Burger King’s vice president of global quality, told
Bloomberg Businessweek that “details for DNA testing have not been
worked out, and no timeline has been set for implementing the new
procedures.”

Burger King addressed this topic after it was disclosed that Silvercrest
Foods sold beef products containing horse meat to other retailers.

According to the company’s statement to PR Newsire, Burger King says it
will test specifically for equine DNA.

Burger King told Businessweek that it dropped dealings with Silvercrest
after learning that meat supplied by the distribution company contained
horse meat. Burger King went on to say that product from Silvercrest was
never sold in their stores.

“We will dedicate ourselves to determining what lessons can be learned
and what additional measures, including DNA testing and enhanced
traceability controls, can be taken to ensure that we continue to
provide you with the quality products you expect from us,” Burger King
stated in a press release to Newswire.

Burger King says they are committed to using suppliers that only produce
100 percent beef products.

Do try to keep up. Hench has him all figured out, already. Most people

He is in the toilet, publicly, stealing intellectual movies and such
from the Internet.

I suspect he is trying to make his goat have babies, but I have no
video evidence of him and his goat. He won't tell me how he gets his
goat to push back.

In Canada, horsemeat is available. You can order it in some
restaurants. France too.

Aside from eating Flicker, it is really not a big deal. Tons of it
are eaten every year.

Not that I tried or anything, but in Las Vegas you can get most any
type meats you like, even in expensive restaurants.

Be careful in the south at Jimmy's _Sushi and Bait Shop_.

After reading Black Beauty as a child , I could never consider eating
a horse. To each his own.

The basis for horse meat being a taboo food in most/many countries is a
long and complicated story.

Not only does the wiki article say that a Kentucky Derby winner was
believed slaughtered for Japanese pet food, but has this par in that regard:

// There is a misconception that horses are commonly slaughtered for pet
food, however. In many countries, like the United States, horse meat was
outlawed in pet food in the 1970s. American horse meat is considered a
delicacy in Europe and Japan, and its cost is in line with veal,[36] so
it would be prohibitively expensive in many countries for pet food. //

What's wrong with eating horse meat? Why is a cow less deserving of
your respect?


The Europeans have been eating horse meet for a long time now. It is
required that if a restaurant serves horsemeat that they have a horsehead
symbol outside their entry door. There is no sign, but the head is enough
to satisfy the law that it is notifying the unknowing public that horse du
jour is on the menu.
