A horse is a sacred animal or how you want to call it.

Cows are not.

Anyway it's sound selfish what i'm typing.

Re: Why Horsemeat Is In The FoodSupply
Captain Obvious To The World: What do they put in petfood? anything that is dead, anything at all. There has been a shady system at work for a long time. Things finally got desperate enough that these big time meat distributers decided it's not just for pets anymore, cause we lost so many cattle this last year as a result of drought. Keeping costs low, and profits high

just think about it, this isnt jsut one place that is using horsemeat, this is literally a soilent green scenario. There is not enough supply for the demand, what would they do? just let the price go sky high and stop selling? or do whatever they could to keep the money rolling
 Quoting: Samuel Bachelor Of Science


If only we didn't like going to corporations' store houses so much to line their pockets while poisoning and starving ourselves of nutrients while getting sicker and sicker, and grew our food and made our own clothes and raised our own animals. If only we hadn't been herded together with house on top of house in seemingly perpetual bondage to the state and government while the super wealthy devil worshipers of the world buy up all the land that they can dwell in by themselves. What an excessively evil hour we are in.

Re: Why Horsemeat Is In The FoodSupply
It's really simple. Romania banned horses on the roads, so there was suddenly a very large surplus of horses that no-one wanted.
 Quoting: samanthasunflower


That is not exactly true. The horse carriages were banned only from certain roads (highways and so-called "national roads") and from bigger towns a few years ago (from 2005 if I remember correctly). So there is no recent reason for a horse surplus in Romania.

"The Jungle", by Upton Sinclair (1906). It exposed conditions
in the U.S. meat packing industry, causing a public uproar
that contributed in part to the passage a few months later
of the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act.

Horse meat was fed to soldiers of every country during both world wars. It's said to be tasty. I have no problem eating horse meat.

Re: Why Horsemeat Is In The FoodSupply
Horses are companion animals. Shelters are full of unwanted cats and dogs, so why not just package them up and sell in grocery stores too?

that's fine.

the point is that meat packers are giving us horse meat (and god
know what else) and labeling it as being "cattle meat".

"hors emeat" must be labeled "horse meat", and "cattle meat"
as "cattle meat"!!!!!!!
