Shef_Fitness Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 owen paterson, arsey toff environment minister and spokesman for big food business, was telling us yesterday that the horse meat mularkey is johnny foreigner's doing - seems today that our own abbattoirs are also bang at it, will he now condemn tesco, findus aldi etc etc for their total lack of traceability and contempt for the health and well being of their poorest customers? I reckon not to be honest. The only thing that will make things change is for people to buy their meat from their local butcher, supporting local farmers and jobs. To be honest I can't see thing happening, I would imagine the big supermarkets could put anything in their foods and people will still continue to buy food from the supermarket rather than the local butcher. Things are so weighted against small retailers, parking restrictions, road layouts, road systems that appear to create congestion that for many people just nipping to the supermarker seems so easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably looks like folk who think they've been buying beef products from the big supermarkets haven't really had their gnashes around a bit of beef for some years.

I'm waiting with crossed fingers for waitrose aberdeen angus horsemeat or fortnum and mason's horse chateaubriand - the poo'll really hit the fan then. so long as its the poor who eat it, people will blame them for not going to the butchers for food they cannot afford to buy or cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libuse Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 owen paterson, arsey toff environment minister . I'd love to think that was on his business card The only thing that will make things change is for people to buy their meat from their local butcher, supporting local farmers and jobs. Or alternatively, more and more people might realise that, as well as ethically repugnant, the meat industry is commercially immoral too, and just stop buying into it altogether?

melthebell Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm waiting with crossed fingers for waitrose At Waitrose, a spokeswoman said it had had "contradictory results" from tests on the frozen beef meatballs. She said all had tested negative for horse DNA, but one test had indicated the presence of some pork. "We have withdrawn two batches of these products as pork is not listed as a product in the recipe." The products are 480g packs of 16 meatballs with a best before date of the end of June 2013 and the end of August 2013 wait no longer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
