I would rather eat horsemeat than meat that is contaminated with e. coli, etc.
(The problems caused by e. coli and c. diff will hit way more people than those affected by 'bute'. The shockhorrorgaspflail about the horse meat seems to be focused on its being *horse* rather than cow, which I take issue with. Meat is meat.)
Good thoughts Stuart. I think also there are many people who get super, super emotional about even the subject of horsemeat.
I remember several years ago, Dana McCauley, a Toronto-based food blogger, wrote an innocent post about the horsemeat industry in Canada (in the USA horsemeat is banned but in Canada it's apparently a small industry). Within a week of running this post she got something like 300 angry, visceral comments from horse lovers who couldn't handle the cultural convention of eating horsemeat.
I think that general cultural sentiment is one of the drivers behind this controversy.
