HORSEMEAT
Britain and Ireland shoppers who are looking forward to chowing down on those frozen grocery-store burgers they just bought might want to pause for a second. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland reported that it discovered horsemeat in several brands of frozen burgers sold throughout the countries. In 9 out of 10 burger samples from one Irish chain store, horse DNA was found in the patties, with one sample turning up a whopping 29 percent horsemeat. The Food Safety Authority’s chief executive said the meat poses no health risk to the public, but we anticipate an epidemic of “icks” around the dinner table. [Source]

The ‘pink slime’ controversy was a good lesson for all. Store-bought meat, specifically hamburger, isn’t marked and it could be anything. I prefer venison over beef. I killed it, cleaned it, processed it, and I know what’s in it. It’s much more nutritious than beef – more protein, less fat, less cholesterol. Most importantly, I know what I’m eating.

If we knew what was really in most of the things we eat we probably would freak out. No horse meat for me thank you.

I guess I have a cultural bias, horse meat, dog meat, and cat meat are eaten in many places in the world, but it just doesn’t sound appetizing to me. To each their own I guess!!

I have never ever seen horsemeat for sale in the UK as we as a nation deplore the idea…However if I have eaten any unsuspectingly, then I am horrified and disgusted !!

It matters if the price is for beef and if the beef price is higher than what horse meat is selling for. Also, if they are slipping in horsemeat without telling, how safe is it really? Dishonest people who run business are usually dishonest in all situations, not just the one. So, don’t be surprised if the meat wasn’t handled properly etc.

Aldi has far worse problems than horsemeat. They installed cameras in the employees changing areas.
