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:
