# British people were upset because beefburgers usually contain beef, not horse.
If it had said 'horseburger', it wouldn't have been a problem.

# That and the fact
the horsemeat had clearly not been passed for human consumption, as we didn't know it was there.

# Because There are some eat horse meat culture in Japan.
Its culture is not in Japan in general. It exists only in high-end restaurant.

# Humans are just freakish creatures anyway.
-I mean, we breed by prodding a thing in a hole and then grow one of ourselves in a giant, fluid-filled cyst, before trying to squeeze it out in unbearable agony. Some of us do it several times.
-Our societies can barely exist without creating an 'us and them' mentality, which usually leads to the 'them' being marginalised and oppressed.
-Our evolutionary success partially derives from our ability to eat other creatures that aren't that dissimilar to us. There is also evidence to suggest that humans once widely practised endocannibalism.
-We enjoy looking at cat videos.

# oh yeah that too,
although I was thinking of chillies, and indeed onions (which are highly toxic to dogs, I found out).

# The meat would be extremely tough
You'd probably have to hang it for a good few weeks to make something out of it that anyone would want to eat. That or use a really big sledgehammer, which might seem a bit disrespectful to poor Nobbin.

# No; the point is
nobody knows what horsemeat was used. Every cow in the UK has a 'passport' and is traceable throughout the system. I wouldn't mind eating horse, but I'd want to know it has been checked for disease etc before I do.

# Given my passport cost about seventy quid
I think it's pretty fucking profligate of the UK government to dish them out to cows willy-nilly.

# Oh be fair
If your entire life consisted of standing in a field then being killed and eaten, you can't begrudge them a holiday. Strange so few cows take up the option.

# True
But cows can't go on planes -- too big -- and and things tend to happen to them when they pass through France. Being eaten is bad enough but being eaten raw by a Frenchman? The mind shudders.

# this
the problem is not what is in things generally

but why "random things are suddenly in things" that should not be in things.

Wow, poor standards in the meat industry, how completely surprise

innit.

in every supermarket there's a special, unmarked area for people who have been playing 'Reconciling the Seemingly Disparate'

sometimes I got to Tesco just to find that shelf
