A horse is a horse, of course, of course. But what's in your hamburger? Or should I say, "horse-burger?" No, I'm not horsing around. Google "UK horsemeat scandal" for a plethora of recent news items. Horsemeat has somehow entered the European food supply chain and has been fraudulently labeled as beef. From the British Isles to Poland, Spain to Scandinavia, Europe is reeling from shock and disgust over widespread equine consumption. Horsemeat has been found in a variety of food products, including lasagna and TV dinners. In fact, many products sold in supermarkets and restaurants throughout Europe claiming to be 100% cowmeat -- such as Angus hamburgers and meatballs -- were in fact entirely horse.
