In America (at least at the time) any cow that wasn't suitable for market (any sick cow) was turned into the feed, and the cows that ate the contaminated feed were infected. I know what your think Upton Sinclair is spinning in his grave.
The name Creutzfeldt Jakob disease was largely unknown outside the medical community in the UK and with the onslaught of mad cows in the 1990s everybody became familiar with it. Sure there were victims of this before, but I found the victims that became most associated with the disease were either the very young (upto early teens) or the elderly.

I might find out if they have horse burgers in New Zealand. I'll go to a fancy restaurant and order some, see what facial response I get.

Doesn't happen here all that often because its against the law to feed your dairy cows steroids in Canada.

Not too bothered, I just hope they also tested for human dna.
I'd as soon eat human flesh. Why not?

Some people I know say eating horse is actually worse than eating dog.
It has nothing to do with my personal choice of domesticated animals. And why would it shock you that people think eating horsemeat is worse than eating dogmeat? Is there an obvious animal hierarchy that I'm missing?
I see no moral difference between eating humans, dogs, horses, pigs, cows, dolphins, cats, shrimp, crickets, cockroaches, etcetera. If I really need to, I won't prioritize, I'll take what I can get. As things stand, I have no reason to eat any of them.

Same, but I'd want to know about the conditions the human lived in, much like organic chicken or beef.

I don't see the problem with horse meat being found in burgers. It didn't do Overeem or Serge Nubret any harm.

Do you know anything about the former living conditions of the horses that you're eating?

Oh, sorry. I thought you started the thread. oops.

As for bloody milk.. I haven't seen any proof of this but there used to be rumors that milk-sellers solve this problem by adding chocolate. It makes sense considering that chocolate milk such a popular, normal grocery item.

Ok, play the stone cold logic card if you want, and leave out the possible downfalls of a society that views one another as lunch..... but I doubt if someone informed you you were eating human flesh in the middle of your meal you would continue on like nothing happened.

Hell, even taking out any disgust factor...

Where the hell would the human meat be coming from?
1. Murder
2. Extreme malpractice
3. Terminal illnesses
4. Roadkill (as in human roadkill)
5. The elderly (tough and rubbish)

What exactly makes killing a human for food murder but killing an animal for food not murder?
