I have just read that a recent law banning horses from Romanian roads may be responsible for the surge in the fraudulent sale of horsemeat on the European beef market, a French politician said yesterday. Horse-drawn carts were a common form of transport for centuries in Romania, but hundreds of thousands of the animals are feared to have been sent to the abattoir after the change in road rules, could be true.

Apparently it could have ended up in actual cuts of beef now, as in actual steaks. This is in supermarkets though.

Oh WHAT?

Add to that whatever growth steroids and other minging shite they inject the actual beef with, and if we are what we eat, it's no wonder we're all 3 sheets to the wind.

I understand other people's lack of disgust at eating horse. But it goes beyond dodgy labeling to me, because I wouldn't ever choose to eat horse. I can't even be sure why that is, but I'm just sure I wouldn't. Same as I wouldn't choose to eat dogs or cats or humans or a whole list of other beasts.

I've knowingly eaten swordfish & ostrich & boar.

But some things I just don't want to, and the fact that I probably have done through being tricked into it makes me really angry.

Since it's all about cash, I think we must be entitled to compensation.
