They Eat Horses, Don't They?
As food safety authorities "try to find out how beefburgers on sale in UK and Irish Republic supermarkets became contaminated with horsemeat," a helpful soul "has launched an online calculator – so burger fans can work out how many horses they could eat in a lifetime." I mean, let's be honest, you're eating a lot worse than horse when you're having a burger, but sure, oh no the ponies, etc.
Seriously, there is no difference between eating pig and eating dog, or between eating cow and eating horse. People are weird.
@smartastic No, people taste just fine. Now, natto: THAT shit is weird.
@smartastic: I had the same reaction! How can you be upset that some ground-up large cloven-hooved mammal got into your ground-up large cloven-hooved mammal? Isn't that like refusing to eat your carton of eggs because one of them is brown? But then a friend pointed out that people want to be confident that they know exactly what is in their ground-up whatever, and that is a good point. Plus, there were probably rules that were followed in raising food-grade cows that were not followed in raising the horses because THOSE we don't eat. Still, people who eat cows but are skeeved-out by eating horses make no sense.
Helpful? Why that's downright cheval-rous!
I need a hobby.
@Jimkrunk And a hobby horse.
Just say "neigh."

Everytime I eat horse I get the trots.
Well, how do you like them horse apples?
