[littlecassieleanne]

Meat in the USA is pumped with hormones, newspaper and shit. Meat in the EU is filled with horse.....at least that's meat

[DiSPiPE]

Where do you get one from? I want one.

That's what happens when you leave your meals in the hands of politicians and corporations. You eat horse-meat, news paper, sand, and lettuce fertilized with human shit from Chicago's ghettos. Don't be a cheap ass, support your community world wide and buy local. Fuck globalization.

I'll take horse any day over the shit we label meat over here in the US

[BasicDirectX]

You can get a horse for free in the States.

That french cunt thinks its only the meat where we are being fucked..

Almost everything we eat is infected with geneticly modified crap, E numbers that get you cancer not to mention how vegetables are grown on stonewool or some shit (specially here in the Netherlands)..

Those horses had a better and much longer life then the cows, pigs and chickens we eat.

Horses basicly get no hormones and most of them had a descent life on a staple plus they eat a lot 'greener' food.

So, cheaper, more healthy meat which you can actually eat and not feel quilty.. I understand people want to know what they are eating but if its about the sweet little horses getting killed for consumption.. That in itself should not be a problem.

lol. the distinction between horse and cow meat is all socially constructed.
