//Why is all this food being destroyed? What a disgusting waste, there's nothing wrong with it. Why not just sell it off cheap. I would buy it because I am not one of those namby pamby idiots who will turn their nose up at anything without even trying it. Or even donate it to the starving of the world. //

The issue is one of deception. A lot of people in the world eat horsemeat.(I am vegetarian so I wouldn't buy beef lasagne anyway). The real issue here is that we are all eating ready meals and products that are basically lying about their contents. We are trusting supermarkets and companies with what is written on the packaging claims and more lies are being discovered.There are a lot of people upset because they do not want to eat horse, and I would be upset if , for instance a ready-meal contained something I was intolerant or even allergic to! The trust is gone and someone should be made accountable.
Horse steaks - less fat, marbling & v. red meat.

I still do not understand the point of the last 2 posts. This is not a specific issues about the safety of the horse meat - plenty here have acknowledged that horsemeat might actually represent healthier alternative to beef - it is an issue of deception.
Supermarkets and manufacturers are obliged to inform the consumer of the contents of their foods, particularly processed foods - and that is a good thing, because that allows the consumer to make an informed choice. And such manufacturers and retailers usually charge a premium for "pure" food - like cod fish fingers, or 100% beef - so adulterating the beef with meat from other animals is all about deception and fraud.
Given we have a global supply chain, and given that there are unethical and criminal elements always looking to make money, we need to tighten up the testing of source material, to offer provenance and consumer assurance.
This is not just about an "eww" factor. This is about ethical business practice, consumer rights and ensuring the material entering the food chain for human consumption is of the appropriate standard and is what it says it is....

Talking of movies, I guess this all gives a new take to the movie Sea Biscuit.
Apart from the additive issue.....(that's serious), horsemeat is far better for humans as it is far lower in fat, to the point it almost needs barding à la pheasant etc. As many have said, the real issues are trades and description and the lack of monitoring.

I have seen a chef cooking this "delicacy" on tv before Dtc but it does not appeal to me,recently I also saw the "meat" of the future made in science labs constructed from various insects and goodness knows what else,makes me wonder why we are all so worried at the moment,incidentally I don't think there would be much eating in a sea-horse anyway!!
