Why not try....
It seems that Britain has been reeling in shock and disgust today at the revelation that there's been horsemeat in some of a top supermarket's "Value" beefburgers.
Of course that's bad - because meat sold as beef should be nothing but.
But, speaking as a veggie, I do wonder why everyone's so up tight about eating horse. If you're a carnivore, why is it any different really from eating beef, lamb or pork.
Stick to veggies, I say. When you look at an asparagus, you know exactly what it is.

No evidence to support this, but I think for many Brits it would feel like a betrayal. Imagine eating the family pets!
As the Goodies once sang,
"Mummy, where's Bonzo?"
"Hush, child; Bonzo is in the oven...IN HEAVEN!"
Don't you remember your tears when Boxer was taken away to the knacker's yard?
NEIGH MEANS NEIGH!!!

1. Horses are not classed as agricultural in the UK so the controls that are applied to cattle, sheep pigs etc do not cover horses... reason to worry about this ... fit for human consumption. How do you know horsemeat in the UK doesn't contain substances / medications that should not be allowed into the food chain.
2. Welfare .. suggest you look at the BBC coverage for NI.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21046118
Never mind that if a food product is described as beef then it should be beef .. not pork not lamb not horse.
