Yeah, there was that too. We lived on a farm too, so any horse not pulling his weight got put in the freezer. We also were able to buy it at the market too. My mom would buy horse meat for 10c a pound when beef was $1.50 a pound. We ate a lot of horse......
I have this weird ass dog book from back in the 50's and it talks about a nutritional study on dogs where they gave a pregnant bitch boiled horse meat and gave another straight cornmeal mush.. The cornmeal dog lived longer and the horse meat bitch lived just under a month lol. Rabbit has almost zero nutritional value also.

I don't know about dogs but we did real good on it! Ate a whole shit pot full of rabbits too. My mom always said, "If it will make a turd then eat it." Oh, and she also said, "Shut up and eat!" We once ate the neighbors dog too. My dad killed it because it kept biting us. So he killed it, I helped him cut up the meat and strip it for smoking. We smoked that whole dog and my dad gave some of it to the neighbor when he came over looking for his dog. My dad told him it was a newly smoked batch of elk. And people wonder why I hated my childhood. But, I sure learned a lot. Truth is, almost nothing you eat in the US is good for you. Meat or veggies, they use so much toxic shit on everything, and corn fillers and syrups, it's a wonder we live past 10 years old! And if you think the "Organic" label means anything, most places that use that word do not buy from Organic farms.

I know. All the growth hormones and shit they put in livestock these days,people wonder why kids are developing younger & younger and why cancer rates are up =/ We've been bred and raised to think we have to have certain things to survive and that its good for you. The meat we sell here in stores is shit on a scale of what's healthy and not. The US has a higher level of arsenic in our poultry than anywhere else in the world pretty much. If more people would be willing to TRY meat alternatives,they'd find that its actually REALLY good (brand depending) and how much more healthy it is than real meat. If I had my choice over what meat I had to eat,id choose deer. I love that shit lol.

Word...

I think its just more less frowned upon here is all. That and the fact that they advertise "all beef patties" to the public. I wonder what their burgers fat content is though when compaired to a Mcdonalds burger,seeing as how horse meat has almost no nutritional value esp when cooked a certain way. Probably made their food healthier & less fatty. Its still hypocritical on our part to frown upon horse slaughter & consumption and curse China & korea for them consuming dogs & cats though. People disagree with horse meat because we have mostly viewed them as pets. And "we don't eat our pets here blah blah..." We have now crossed that line between what we consider "livestock" and "companion" animals and can't bitch anymore. We are no better than China/Korea. May as well start eating dogs & cats too. =/

Meat industry under scrutiny as horsemeat scandal spreads

London (CNN) -- A frozen food producer caught up in a scandal over horsemeat found in beef products in the United Kingdom, Sweden and France said Saturday it will sue the Romanian producer it blames for the problem.
The French arm of Swedish frozen food firm Findus said it would file a legal complaint Monday against the unnamed Romanian business.
Findus said it had been told that its products were being made with French beef, not Romanian horsemeat.
"We were deceived," said a Findus France statement. "There are two victims in this affair: Findus and the consumer."
Meanwhile, an emergency meeting was held in London Saturday, as ministers, food inspectors and retailers grappled with a scandal that appears to be spreading across Europe.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said it was "completely unacceptable" that consumers were being sold food that contained horse in place of beef.
The evidence so far suggests "either criminal activity or gross negligence," he said.
Paterson warned that "more bad news" could come.
UK food businesses have been ordered to test all processed beef products for "authenticity" and report back to the authorities by Friday.
Retailers in the United Kingdom, France and Sweden pulled millions of lasagna and other processed beef products off the shelves as the alarm was raised over the Findus lasagnas.
It comes less than a month after horsemeat was found in hamburgers sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Officials in Ireland have pointed to Polish meat ingredients as being the source of horsemeat found in burgers there.
The UK Food Standards Agency said the evidence "points to either gross negligence or deliberate contamination in the food chain.
"This is why we have already involved the police, both here and in Europe."
"This is completely unacceptable -- this isn't about food safety but about proper food labeling and confidence in retailers," Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday, quoted on his official Twitter feed.
The revelations have thrown the meat industry into crisis and revolted many meat eaters in the United Kingdom, where horsemeat is generally considered taboo, although it is commonly eaten in neighboring France, as well as countries including China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Italy.
Findus said Thursday it had withdrawn its lasagna -- labeled with the British spelling, "lasagne" -- from UK stores Monday as a precaution after its French supplier, Comigel, raised concerns about the type of meat used.
Meanwhile, Findus France has temporarily withdrawn three ready-prepared dishes -- lasagna bolognese, shepherd's pie and moussaka -- because of the discovery of horsemeat in purported 100% beef products, the firm said. The company added, however, that the three products could still be eaten without health risk.
Responding to questions as to how long it had known about the horsemeat issue, Findus said it had only been alerted by Comigel in a letter dated 2 February.
That letter had made Findus "aware of a possible August 2012 date" for the contamination, the company said.
British retailer Aldi said it had also withdrawn two of its products, a beef lasagna and spaghetti bolognese, after supplier Comigel "flagged concerns that the products do not conform to specification."
While horsemeat is not itself a food safety hazard, its unauthorized presence -- in quantities up to 100% -- in foods purported to be made with beef has raised serious concerns.
Comigel has not yet responded to CNN requests for comment.
Chief among food inspectors' concerns is that the illicit horsemeat could contain the veterinary drug phenylbutazone, or "bute," commonly used to treat horses.
Meat from animals treated with phenylbutazone is not allowed to enter the food chain as it may pose a risk to human health.
Findus has been ordered to test the lasagna withdrawn from shelves in the United Kingdom for the drug's presence.
Aldi said in a statement that tests on random samples of its affected products, labeled Today's Special Frozen Beef Lasagne and Today's Special Frozen Spaghetti Bolognese, "demonstrated that the withdrawn products contained between 30% and 100% horse meat.
"This is completely unacceptable and like other affected companies, we feel angry and let down by our supplier. If the label says beef, our customers expect it to be beef."
Samples of the affected Findus lasagna also contained between 60 and 100% horsemeat, according to UK and Irish food safety inspectors.
In January, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland found that 10 out of 27 hamburger products it analyzed in a study contained horse DNA, while 23 of them -- or 85% -- tested positive for pig DNA.
In nine out of the 10 burger samples, the horse DNA was found at very low levels, the inspectors said, but in one sample from Tesco, Britain's largest retailer, the horse meat accounted for about 29% of the burger.
Tesco apologized to customers after the revelation and promised action to make sure it never happened again.
The discovery of pig DNA in beef products is of particular concern to Jews and Muslims, whose dietary laws proscribe the consumption of pig products. Jewish dietary laws also ban the eating of horsemeat.
The Justice Ministry confirmed last week that a number of meat pies and similar items supplied to prisons in England and Wales were labeled and served as halal -- prepared in compliance with Islamic dietary law -- but contained traces of pork DNA, the Food Standards Agency said.
Horsemeat is not commonly eaten in the United States, but the country does export it to Canada and Mexico. Congress passed a bill in November 2011 that lifted a 5-year-old ban on the slaughter of horses for meat in the United States.

big fucking deal its meat eat it and shut the fuck up .......
