BEEF GOING CHEEP, OR NEIGH OR WOOF!


 Findus has withdrawn its beef lasagne from supermarket shelves after tests showed that some batches contained 100% horse meat. How can such a thing arise?  Answer, it’s all part of the race to the bottom, making everything as cheap as possible.  Cheap meat is imported from the less salubrious parts of the continent, passes through a couple of traders to the manufacturers and then to the supermarkets.  We are assured that there is no danger to health.  A meaningless statement.  If the suppliers cannot even guarantee the species from which the meat came, what about the hygiene in the slaughterhouse, the veterinary checks required by law in this country, how do you know the that animals were not medicated with drugs harmful to human health, etc. etc. etc..  Keep your reassurances. Like your products they’re rubbish.
