Exactly, not that I am supporting eating Horse meat, however, they're supposed to mount a Horses head above the door of the establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun N. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was talking to the Wife about this before I left for work and I told her I wouldn't mind eating horse meat. I would like it advertised as such though. This was advertised as Beef and 100% wasn't Beef. False advertisment is what gets me the most about this.

Dapen Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 There's a problem with horse meat if it's not safe for consumption. Who knows what inspection the horse meat has had, do we even know if the horse meat that has been used in beef products has even passed health tests? Is it horse meat from joe blogs horse that recently died which had been pumped with wormers and other drugs, or is it horse meat from horses BRED as cattle? That plays a big part in if it's safe to eat or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Why warn people not to eat it? Just tell them its Horse Lasagne. People probably will love it more. So weird that people are eating cows without giving much thought, but no, not a horsie! You can't ride a cow ... or bet on it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COKid Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I avoid nearly all processed, frozen, or industrially produced foods. Eat fresh. Buy from your local farmers. Buying local is no guarantee. It all depends on the supplier. http://www.cdc.gov/l...arms/index.html 33 deaths. TPreston 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the Horse Meat also contains various medicine the Horses have been given that can cause Cancer in Humans.

Xerino Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Starting to hear more and more stories like this in europe... first Burger King, and now Findus? are cows really THAT rare over there? makes you kinda wonder where the milk comes from, most milks after they are pasturized and homoginized taste the same... :shiftyninja: :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesmithg Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I am wondering also. Would it bother eaters of Fish, that their Findus Cod fingers contained Sea-Horse meat also? Just wondering. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Reid Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There's nothing wrong with horsemeat. But there is a problem if they don't point out that it's horsemeat. there absolutely is something wrong with horse meat. Im sure things are similar in Europe as they are in the US. Beef is inspected, tested, and graded to certain USDA standards to ensure its safe to eat, horse meat as far as I know doesn't have those same standards at least in the US that ive never heard of it. So these could be old sick diseased horses being passed off as beef when in fact they could very likely be no where near the same standards or as safe to eat as USDA inspected beef. +Mirumir 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your standards are working so well these days, hence the surprise at finding horse meat... Again, there is nothing wrong with horse meat when the customer and the industry are informed. Proper tests can be done to check the quality of the meat. The issue here isn't that horse meat was used, it's that horse meat was being passed off as beef.

All beef that goes on the market in the US is inspected by the USDA, all of it, so yea, considering the amount of beef we eat in the US I think they do a pretty good job.

That's what I get for thinking I remember the article the next day. :pinch: The last point still stands though. There isn't a problem with horse meat, there is a problem with pretending that horse meat is beef as it doesn't get submitted for proper inspections.
