Not kosher

You are what you eat -- but horse meat won't make you a stallion.

Do not read this before, during, or after a meal.

We have laughed for weeks at reports out of Ireland and the UK about horse meat in burgers and pork in halal food. And now there is lasagna with even more horse meat.

Time to stop chuckling and start looking at what is going on.

It is not greed or incompetence, folks, it is just a double-blind study by horse meat processors to find new markets.

You have to understand their problem: all that meat and nowhere to consume it.

Can't feed it to cattle, can't label it correctly because humans don't want to eat Flicka, and the Asian markets, ah well.

Don't get upset, continue to chomp down on that delicious piece of ground whatever and see if some men turn into the stallions they pretend to be!

It can always get worse, just watch a few episodes of the gritty American show Deadwood, where humans get fed to pigs. That'll help you deal with the horse meat gag reflex.

One more thing: how can you wonder about all of this in an age of big processing plants?
