mystery hidden in a hamburger horse meat so obvious (and none of it is tasty)

When I was a university student, my colleagues and I joked about the food served in the cafeteria of the residence, which contains "mystery meat." At that time, I was fresh out of the track, and I saw the identity of minced meat - "hamburger" in the United States - with skepticism. Shortly after, I stopped eating meat altogether.

While I love horses and I am now vegan (except for one or two days a week when I give my desire sheep cheese), I have no problem with people eating horse meat - no more than I have a problem with people not eat meat other issue nationally. However, the current points of scandal horsemeat important questions that should concern everyone, not just for those who want to eat horse meat knowingly, given the opportunity.

A question was asked by my friend and colleague, blog, Henry Gee. They just published this essay on the public perception of specific risks apply to the possible presence of phenylbutazone - "butts" - in their horseburgers.

Bute is an anti-inflammatory commonly used in horses to alleviate pain or fever. Bute is not approved for use in humans, whether in the U.S. or UK, possibly because they can suppress the production of white blood cells or cause aplastic anemia in susceptible individuals.

But the amount of horse meat stumble today - if it is still there - is infinitely small and therefore unlikely to cause adverse effects on human consumers. Or as Bob O'Hara commentator noted in the test comments this thread: "homeopaths only have to worry."

done.

But this feeling only applies to the "stumble problem."

In fact, scandal horse meat is a scandal because it highlights the lack of control over what ends exactly in the human food chain.

"The contamination of beef with horse meat raises false labeling, food quality and traceability in the food chain in the EU," said a statement from the European food safety.

• The fact that horse meat is sold as "beef", says a lot about the general lack of ethics, transparency and respect
• consumers

. The scandal also shows how budget cuts are dangerous to human and financial resources necessary for adequate food inspection and sampling. In fact, these are the main questions I hear people talk about most often - not stumble

People have the right to know what they eat. If the meat is labeled as "beef", then that's what it should be, not pigs, dogs, horses. The fact is that people do not want to eat certain types of meat (Jewish law, for example, prohibits the consumption of horse meat) and wish to be respected regardless of the underlying reasons. Sale of "meat" that contains horse meat is unethical and raises the specter that other meats can be hidden in your own burger or lasagna. And is conducted today, tomorrow may be dog? Dare I mention Soylent Green?

This meat has obviously come from unscrupulous sources, a number of issues that we do not know the answers to such questions as - where these horses come from and how he dealt with in the days and weeks leading up to their slaughter. Some of these concerns are addressed in this video:

Egypt court bans YouTube over Innocence of Muslims trailer

one-month suspension through anti-Muslim film site a "step backwards" for freedom of expression, says Human Rights Group

YouTube was temporarily banned in Egypt for Lead Anti-Islamic documentary that sparked riots across North Africa and the Middle East in September.

As human rights activists have called a setback for Internet freedom, the judge ordered the government to block Hassouna Tawfiq access to video sharing site for 30 days after the trailer of innocence sparked outrage among Muslims.

The ban was enacted on Sunday afternoon, and a spokesman for Google said the company, which owns YouTube, had not yet been served with any order. However, five years after a request for a similar ban was rejected by an Egyptian court, the alleged prohibition of YouTube this week was seen as a step backwards.

• In 2007, an Egyptian judge attempted to block 49 sites of human rights, but their efforts were rejected by the tribunal. "Definitely a step backwards compared to what the court ruled [in 2007]," said Amr Gharbeia, civil liberties director of the Egyptian Institute for Personal Rights.
• Gharbeia, the site was one of the people at risk in 2007, said the case showed a lack of understanding of the basic principles of the Internet. "People will find ways to circumvent the ban," he added. "The courts are not aware of how the Internet works. They use the same measures used against newspapers and broadcasters. "
noted that such a law could Egyptians "lose respect for the rule of law."

The case is one of many recent initiatives against freedom of expression in Egypt. A report released last month said there were more journalists have been prosecuted for insulting the president under President Mohamed Morsi seven months in any 30-year rule of ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak.
