If you're European, you'll have heard this by now. In a nutshell, Europeans have been inadvertently eating horse meat disguised as beef recently, in what seems to be an organised crime racket from Eastern Europe. Suppliers have bought meat in good faith, and it turns out it was horse all along. Major supermarkets have been affected, including the biggest in the country, Tesco as well as schools and Burger King.
The reaction to this has largely fallen into two camps; those who don't care and see no difference between the horse of now and the beef of before, and those who are outraged at the fact they've been eating Mr. Ed. Personally, it's not the horse meat that bothers me, it's that Tesco and so don't know what's in their food or where their meat comes from, and have been serving it regardless. As it stands, it's just horse, but what if it had been horse or even just beef pumped full of drugs unsuitable for people? The retailers would be none the wiser and the customers would pay that price.
So, my question is simply, how do you feel about the meat scandal?
