Horse-meat in our pre-prepared meals.
What a difference it makes where you live. Here we are concerned,quite rightly, that we are eating horse-meat rather than beef on the label. I'd like to think that this was a mistake but it quite obviously it was deliberate. But we seem to be back in the blame culture again. Nobody will take responsibility. Does that surprise me? No! Will anyone be prosecuted? Will any bosses resign?
And who suffers most? AS this seemed to start with value meals I guess it is those who are struggling to make ends meet. And that can be anyone across the board except those on really high incomes who will just go on as before enjoying the best of everything. Like the boss of Findus, Dale Morrison, who it is claimed knew about the scandal 12 days before it blasted open, but he kept quiet. What will the government do to him? Possibly call him in to be questioned in a Parliamentary Inquiry. Won't affect his earnings.
So all products have been withdrawn and possibly destroyed.
Meanwhile across the globe thousands are dying every day because they can't find anything to eat. You must have seen the images. Please take a look at the video below and give it a few minutes thought. Just think how grateful they would be to get just a few mouthfuls to stave off starvation and death. Can you do anything? Yes just give a donation to one of the charities. Perhaps that's what some of the food magnates and supermarkets should be doing - making some massive gifts (and the tax element).
Meanwhile watch out for our programmes on how simple it is to grow your own food and cook meals with local ingredients that'll make you feel good and be healthier, not forgetting saving money.
