[quote=TrueAtheist]What the heck kind of logic is that. So if Burger King was making their burgers with the brains of babies you wouldn't care because it's "not hurting anyone"? Brains are very nutritious after all.[/quote]

I eat meat but I'm not a cannibal. I wouldn't give a damn if it was donkey brain.

if it doesn't concern you, then so be it. there are people out there that don't like to be lied to. crazy isn't it?
using horse meat is one thing and lying about using horse meat is another.

use your brains. become an informed citizen; we have too many sheep that just blindly follow the leader.

[quote=tiesandbowties]people in this thread are so stupid. sure, meat is meat but that's clearly not the problem here.
the reason people are mad is because people in charge of regulating meat have lied to us.

if they lied about something like this what else have they lied about? you know what i mean?

people aren't getting the point. *sigh*[/quote]

Would you eat a human baby if it tasted good?

[quote=uiluj4]I don't understand why you have to care about everything the liberal media tells you to care about.
Do consumers have a right to know what they put in their mouths? Yes, but it's just horse. It's not like it's pink slime or anything disgusting and unsanitary.
It's meat! It's food! Eat it![/quote]

I don't watch liberal media, and if a food chain is advertising that they are selling beef and it's horse, then yeah that's a problem from a consumer rights perspective.

If Burger King burgers were made out of dogs or cats would you have the same view as you hold now? Most people in this thread would probably be disgusting at the idea of eating dogs or cats in their whoppers, hence everyone here are hypocrites. It's just meat right?

Horse meat is eaten in other countries.
What's the problem?
Other than them putting in something other than what was expected, it wasn't harmful at all...

I don't see the problem, I get that they denied (bad Burger King) but what's wrong with eating horse meat, no one got sick, no one noticed the taste, no one should have any problem.

Well, if you're eating at Burger King, you just relinquished your right to a healthy meal and subjected your body to god knows what. It goes with buying fast food.
