Horsemeat
So has anyone heard of Ikea's meatballs, how they have horse meat in them, instead of regular meat? I have, and the media is flipping shit about it. I don't know anything about meat, but what is so bad about horse meat? Is it the fact that we don't usually eat horses, and therefore it's disgusting?
Or it there an actual legitimate reason for people being reluctant to eat horse meat?

Eating horse is an incredible waste of a perfectly good set of horse genitals.

1 ReplyWe are culturally opposed to horsemeat because historically it has been more profitable to use the horses rather than eat them. There is nothing inherently wrong with it - many European countries eat horse (I have personally eaten horse whilst in Germany). There is the concern that horses are quite expensive, if someone is using horse meat it is probably dodgy stuff that isn't fit for human consumption.

If I'm not mistaken the problem is that it's not always legal to butcher horses and then there's the possibility of antibiotics in the horse meat. And lying is bad.

i have absolutely no problem with there being horse meat in my meatballs and burgers, but if they're being advertised as beef then i expect beef and only beef.

3 RepliesDid they ever advertise them as 100% beef? IMO, it's better than other, cheaper alternatives to add mass to the product. I don't consider it dishonest unless they specifically said the meat is just beef.

2 RepliesThe big issue is that the food supply should be transparent and honest as to what is in food. There isn't anything "wrong" with horsemeat, it isn't dangerous, it isn't unhealthy, there is a bit of a cultural or social "ickiness" to it for some people, but it isn't harmful. But it is not beef. The problem is that food should be what the seller/producer says that it is.

It's more about how the horses are treated/what they're given.

Mad horse disease is rampant bro.

Horse tacos are awesome.
