Re: [DIYbio] Re: diybio testing for horsemeat

it's not the fact that it's horse. it could be sheep ,pig or hamster and the problem would be the same. A lot of these companies claimed traceability but it wasn't even the right animal.

sales of horse meat actually went up after it hit the news.

If there's meat from an entirely different animal how do we know that the "beef" doesn't contain brain matter. or substances not classed fit for human consumption.

Probably because it's selling of mislabeled products. No different
than the melamine-milk scandal from China. But really, people should
know that the industrial production of meat is not all "sunshine and
love". Maybe everyone should just read some Upton Sinclair.
