   Cut the jobs of the federal meat inspectors! The bloody Free Market will decide what’s edible and what’s not! To hell with government!

   Uh, the meat is not disease laden because it is from horses.
   .
   I for one prefer inspected meat, regardless of the animal’s cuteness level.

   Hmm… horse meat or pink slime? You decide!
   
   Ha-ha! No, you don’t. The pathetic inspection process is going to get worse.
   
   The only way we’ll know what we’re eating is if we go out & kill it ourselves. Maybe this is part of the Republican plot to turn us all into gun owners.

   Now when the meat contains human tissue then I might be concerned. But that’s for the gun-fearing libs to be concerned about.

   USDA inspections are just security theater to make you think that buying meat raised in filthy, disease ridden CAFOs from ginormous processing conglomerates is safe. You’re much better off buying from local pasture farmers, if the USDA hasn’t shut them down for being outside the industrial food system. Horsemeat is probably cleaner than most of what the USDA certifies.

    There would be no need for “meat inspectors” IF private business could be trusted.
    The dollar and greed sees to it that private business can NEVER be fully trusted.
    My opinion….I’d love to hear from a meat inspector, OR a food industry truthful CEO…I do not trust these people either, sadly..

    I haven’t heard of anyone dying from eating horse meat. What’s next, a government agency to tell me how to pick my nose?

    The problem isn’t that it is horse meat, the problem is too many companies can’t trace the origin of the meat they use. If mad cow disease were traced to a single ranch in Argentina, there would be no way of telling where the infected meat may have gotten to in the past year. If each restaurant and grocery store could trace the provenance of their food, it could be isolated quickly. Right now, a mad cow scare could affect just about every restaurant chain in the US and Europe.
