Sorry to be dull, but who cares what really is the difference between eating cow and horse!!!!
If we were in China we would be munching on dog!!!

Quoted by OliverDay: I think that your missing the point somewhat.

Tesco's food chain has been compromised to the point that they didn't have a clue that nearly a third of one of their products consisted of a substance that they do not know where it has come from. This time it's only horse meat and the damage is only reputation.

What would have happened if the substance had been thrown in had been toxic?

I totally agree and it's about the only sensible answer so far in connection with this scandal that applies to us UK consumers as there's too much emphasis on this thread regarding what about if we lived in China or elsewhere etc? We don't so let's not deviate from the issue and focus with the problem at hand. Consumers have paid for a 100% beef product which has not been delivered so the labelled ingredients are far from true. Some say horse meat is acceptable but the point is how would people feel if they bought Bernard Mattews Turkey then eventually finding out that it contains rat meat or snake. It's no different in this case.
