LOL, this thread isn't about "DUR HORSE MEAT IS SO GOOD", it's about "hey BK didn't want to fess up what is OBVIOUSLY embarrassing (because they wouldn't admit, at first...) and that is that they are serving horse meat, unbeknownst to their customers".

Yeah I think horses are treated better than cows in general, they eat grass and grain not corn and processed/fermented grain.

do you think that BK micromanages every detail of the practices of the people they do business with?

well, they are Burger King, so no. they obviously should, though.

Just saying the glass is kinda half full Thanks to burger king, plenty of people who would have never tried horse meat have been given the opportunity to see what all the fuss is about.

:prisoner:

besides the point. people don't want to eat things when they don't know what it is.

are any UK people raving about "oh man so there was horse meat in it, man, that's why BK is so damn good@!"?

no. there isn't.

I think people aren't aware of lots of stuff that goes into their food, horsemeat is small potatoes, its just that people think horses are cute and don't want to eat them.  There are larger systemic problems that are being ignored because of emotion, but nodoby wants to confront that because it is so ingrained in our production methods we accept it as normal.

koraks said:

So....what's wrong with horse meat? I mean, how's it much different from beef? It's a cultural thing, yes?

akira_akuma said:

i'm with stupid, is agreeing? it's more like you're calling me and anyone who "agreed" with what Moonrockmushy said, is stupid?

oh well, if that's what you say... i actually edited that in... i'll take it back. don't fuck off then, you mother.

By "stupid" I kinda meant "anybody capable of the no-brainer realization that we deserve to know as much as possible about what goes into the food we buy."

I seriously need to work on my Internet Irony habit. It never works.
