Just Say Nay

The mislabeled meat scandal gallops on:

Ikea is now removing wiener sausages from stores across Europe after tests confirmed “a few indications of horse meat.”

With all those regulations,
it really seems incredible
that they secretly turned Mr. Ed
into Mr. Edible.

I scratch my head at people who think cow is normal and delicious, but horse a crime against nature.

My understanding is that in some parts of Europe it's quite socially acceptable to eat horse meat. Of course, there's the truth-in-labeling issue. And I can understand that someone with a sentimental attachment to horses might feel distressed by their culinary consumption. But I cannot see eating equines as a crime against nature!
