All jokes aside, the fact is that fast food company's like Burger King, Mcdonalds, et al, advertise 100% beef burgers. They obviously have very good quality control to ensure their beef is safe and is of the quality that they want. With Poland deciding to cut corners and costs by mixing horse meat in with their exported ground beef, which doesn't surprise me at all, then I say they should be boycotted and heavily fined.

You're absolutely right. Whether horse meat is ok to eat or not, whether it's objectionable to eat or not, is really a moot point. People have a right to know what they are ordering and ingesting. My first thought is actually if they (the company) are claiming it's 100% beef and it really isn't, is that known to them? If it's not known to them, then what else possibly could be getting in there that they don't know about?

Doesn't matter how quick, efficient or economical your product is, at the end of the day your business can still be made or broken by your reputation.

That pun is a whinnier.

Touche. Lol.

If we rode cattle and not horses, beef in burgers would be a scandal.
We eat scrimp. crab, and lobster - spiders and scorpions of the sea.

Have you ever seen the face of a lobster close up. No, no, I mean really take a good look at that mug?
Yuk!

Better than this at least:



And to think people pay top dollar for something with a face like that.

The obesity and type II diabetes crisis in North America is 100% because of junk food and fast food. That candy bar crap should be behind black drapes, and each come with warning labels inside the wrapper. And those burger joints should have warning signs everywhere - "Eating this crap is the #1 reason for obesity."

If there is tasty food around that I can kill and eat, by God I'm going to kill it and eat it.




Mmmoose and dungeness crab killed and grilled by your's truly.

That was an incredible meal.

You could take Prince Albert in a can.

But I wouldn't recommend eating it.8O
I don't either. Eating tobacco will get you mighty sick in a hurry.

If you're going to take something in a can it may as well be Unicorn meat.

That sparkly crap can't be too good for you either. Stick with the moose and crab.

Or maybe moose and squirrel, that has a nice ring to it. :)

I'll let you know how that goes this spring. Tree rats have a good diet so I can't see the meat being bitter like a bug eater.

Squirrel's delicious. A steady diet of our birds sunflower seeds make them nice and porky too.

Check out youtube for a fast and easy way to skin a squirrel. I could describe it, but it would take too long.
