I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. I prefer beef, but horse is not bad.

He wasn't wrong in his analysis. From what I'm reading, eldirector is correct that there were no federal laws preventing an individual from slaughtering and eating a horse.

The FDA, however, was prohibited (via lack of congressional funding) from inspecting horse slaughterhouses, which means that horses could not be legally slaughtered and sold for human consumption (basically what mrjarrel was trying to say).

He was also correct that Obama broke a campaign promise by signing it into law.

I think he got his facts pretty straight, overall.

Never said he was.

What really surprises me is that Fox news reported a 10% drop in support from independent voters. I would think that since Obama just single handedly solved the worldwide food shortage issues, his support would have gone up!

Heck, Taco Bell doesn't even use meat (beef) and no one cares. Do you think folks really care what is in fast food?

This proves my point exactly - Taco Bell was only rumored to not use beef in its tacos almost a year ago and it is still coming back to haunt us.

The Checkup - Is that right? The beef over Taco Bell meat

Sounds delicious!


I wonder........ will the QuarterPounder contain a Quarter Horse?


Are they getting rid of the filet-o-fish and replacing it with the new SeaBiscuit?


Burger King can make the Triple Crown Sandwich......

From what I remember, their "beef" was found to be only ~30% beef. The rest was nasty fillers and soy products.

I highly doubt horsemeat will be cheaper. Since it will be limited demand it will probably cost more per pound than beef and therefore would be cost prohibitive for fast food chains to use.

And yet another example. Read the article I posted.

I like your thinking. Good marketing, ties in with the current ones

 

[NYFelon]

I'd nom a Triple Crown sandwich just because of the name.

I was just thinking this whole horse meat issue through. Please check to see If I have a reasonable though process.
Since horses are a lot more active than cattle and sheep, I would not think they are as efficient in gaining meat weight. Since cattle ranchers have to turn a profit, I would not think they would adopt a more expensive animal to raise for meet. I would guess that the horse meat would come as a secondary salvage on horses that have already served their first purpose in life. So realistically, the profit would only be dirived from old sick horses, not exactly what I would consider a source of quality meat. I do not see how this would become a large percentage contributor of protein supply in the food market.
In light of all the real problems we have in this country, why is the person in the oval office wasting time messing with the concept of selling horse meat anyway?

i am a horse owner and love horses but without a way to remove or get rid of the undesireable's horse suffer...i am for the slaughter of horses it sure is better than seeing all the starved horses i see when i travel.

I guess Arby's "Horsey" sauce would be a fitting condiment on your Nelly Nuggets.

As far as marketing you could have the sandwiches sizes tied in too.
Instead of Large or Jr. you could have Clydesdale or Pony.

There's no way my wife or children would eat a horse! They can't even eat Bambi. I, on the other hand, am typically so hungery at the end of the day that I could eat a horse.

SEE!

The commerical just about writes itself........

"Do you have a man sized hunger?
Are you hungry enough to eat a Horse?
Well, your in luck!
The new Hardees 1/2 lb. Horse sandwich, big enough to choke a horse!"

I would, and now shall; eat horse meat. Its an excellent protein, esp for athletes. Ethically, I can't really object since I don't really make a distinction between eating one domestic animal over another; and at the end of the day I've not yet found a meat that disagreed with me.

 

[Whosyer]

Horse steak and fish filet. Instead of surf and turf, it would be the Percheron and Perch. (or Perch squared?)

Wasn't there a push for serving horse meat in schools in the 1970's ?I swear I remember something like that when I was in High School. But then, I put the "High" in High School, so I could be mistaken.

 

[Waveraider]

We use to process horse meat hear in the US, but PETA successfully lobbied Congress or the FDA to shut down the slaughter houses. All the expensive, as should be. It was exported to europe, or Canada. As others have said, Horse prices have dropped to nothing. Slaughtering horses a would bring jobs back to Western States, and maybe even our area.

Rushville has a horse auction company that has sales 5 to 6 times each month. This will definitely benefit that company.
