Experts within the horse slaughter industry have told the Observer there is evidence that both Polish and Italian mafia gangs are running multimillion-pound scams to substitute horsemeat for beef during food production. There are claims that vets and other officials working within abattoirs and food production plants are intimidated into signing off meat as beef when it is in fact cheaper alternatives such as pork or horse. ...

Sometimes the horse patty has taken the place of the revered
hamburger patty, and we fast-food consumers have paid little attention to any
difference.
And neither did the horse.
We hastily gobbled the bovine burger, and it never dawned on us
that it might instead be the flesh of a horse, or perhaps even a kangaroo.
Choose your own animal here.
This no longer will be the case, however, due to the recent
reporting of some horses corralling inside of the restaurant known as Burger
King.
Now the King of Burger must ride upon a steed, since horses have taken
over his kingdom,
and he didn't even say, "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
and he didn't even say, "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
Instead of the Burger King standing outside his establishment we
will see a horse.
I remember my neighbor, one of the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,
telling me how he had served a man a hamburger without any meat patty, just the
bun with a little ketchup and mustard, and how the man devoured the meatless
burger without even blinking, then drove off just as happy as if he had eaten a
real hamburger.
Not everything we eat tastes like chicken, with or without the
chicken feathers.
As the saying goes, “Out of
sight out of mind.”
And so it is when it comes to whether today’s burger has yesterday’s
horse, or some other animal.
Choose your own animal.
What we eat is not always what we think.
Sometimes a cow's moo must submit to the horse's neigh.
Sometimes a cow's moo must submit to the horse's neigh.
There’s always more meat than will meet the eye.
IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
