   Kind of not like Obama’s programs. Unless you can actually point some out for us otherwise you are making it up.

   This comic is based on the fact that a lot of European ‘beef’ was found to have equine DNA. I have no idea why any European would object to that, but a lot of them did.

    BBC World News implicated Romania, I think.
    It sounds like they buy beef from all over and mix it together.

    Reminds me of our own EPA that still use techniques from the last century. By naked eye alone. Not a good system.

    I’ll feed the troll. Would you like some meat tainted with horsemeat?

    Romania has protested on how they have been grossly misrepresented. EU law that has outlawed horse-drawn carts and therefore Romania has a surplus of “millions” of horses? Yep, sounds like “bull” to me and not “horse”.
    The middle men are likely the ones who have doctored documents and provenance of these meats for processed foods.
    We’re learning how the processed meats industry works and I think most folks are aghast. I’m not, I never eat processed meats, even burgers or pies (sausages are the exception but then I’ve eaten a horse sausage from France. Wasn’t impressed. I usually buy specialised sausages and they’re usually well sourced) I once shocked a supermarket “butcher” by choosing a good cut of meat and asking that it be minced. I was the one who should have been more surprised. Don’t you want to know what’s in your mincemeat and why wouldn’t I want it to be good meat and not offcuts? Darn, just contradicted myself…don’t I want my sausages to be from good cuts, too?

    
    The clamour it has generated in the UK seems to be concentrating on the fact that horse meat was used. It isn’t usual in the UK unlike on the continent. The real question should be how documents were forged and how unknown meats are introduced. If one can sneak in any ol’ meat, what else is being ignored?
    For instance, prison authorities in the UK discovered pork meat mixed in with “halal” meat. School dinners, hospital food, pub food, all have been found to be “contaminated”, too.
    If you want cheap & cheerful, you gets what you wants.
