Horse DNA in uk meat/genetically modified animals?

Hi this is my first thread..
I've arrived here with a question after a niggly thought has entered my mind which I can't get out! I could use some input from you guys to see if you think this theory goes anywhere...

Ok we have had mass media coverage of UK meat which has been imported resulting in food with up to 100 percent horse DNA

A number of thoughts occurred to me

1. Where are the mass produced horse farms?
2. Why is there no explanation!
3. Why was there not a noticed difference in taste / consistency of meat products which supposably contained horse meat..

I thought what if it didnt come from an horse just contained horse DNA? Is that even possible? I found an article on BBC news from 2001
[link to news.bbc.co.uk]

The article from 2001 shows scientists saying that they had the ability to produce gm meat which could be available for human consumption in 10 years, it details concerns about importing such meat!

What if the UK have been eating GM meat arising from a frankenfarm abroad somewhere? Can anyone help me? It says they look to make meat bigger- why wouldn't they base it on horse size - I'm no scientist and this may be absolute nonsense but do you think they are modifying meat in the same way as crops? Could this explain the findings?

Peace
