gym_rat Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 \errrrr. they're in charge....right? They are running the Country now? Clearly your tax bill has reduced....... please tell me what you think the Tories have to do with the horse meat scandal and also, what has that got to do with my tax bill (which incidentally has gone up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastbank Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm going to say the same horse meat is fine but..... My worry would be where these horses come from and to what extent we could be in danger from drugs in the horses system. Other than that being sold beef but turns out to be horse is no biggy, netto was selling crap labeled up as food for years. the horse probably was kidnapped from the roadside....or left overs from the grand national...every little helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagger Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Horse meat might be perfectly ok to eat but I'm guessing most people would like some choice about whether or not they eat it. I don't think there is a 'yuk' factor at play here with most people. If you eat one animal then you can't really say 'yuk' at the thought of eating another. And given intensive farming methods that are used these days even your regular meats of beef, pork, chicken, lamb etc have dubious substances in them, antibiotics, hormones, dodgy feed etc so how many people know EXACTLY what they are eating anyway?

Priorylady Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 would you be happy to pay for a gold chain, only to find it's gold plated? Or pay for a diamond ring, then find it's cubic zirconia? I only buy costume jewelry anyway so I'm not worried Protien and nutrition wise I'd guess that horse and beef don't have a significant difference in value. Probably less potential for fat on the horse so better actually. I do think I said that the issue was that things should be labelled correctly. This should apply universally At the end of the day 'caveat emptor'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
