Isn't the Guardian about as reliable as the National Enquirer?

Why do people care if there is horse in their burger? What difference does it make? You're eating a dead COW, for christ's sake.
This is like complaining that Korea is cruel because they torture and eat dogs while you yourself are responsible for torturing and eating cows, chickens, pigs and fish.
Having said that, why would anyone with a brain eat at a fast food joint when you know the "food" is garbage?
I haven't been to a burger joint in 10 years. Never eat food prepared by teenage boys.
Disturbing: Burger King Admits Burgers Contain Horsemeat
January 31st, 2013 | Updated 01/31/2013 at 9:26 pm
In a piece of highly disturbing news, Burger King has now admitted after continuous denial that it has actually been selling UK customers both burgers and Whoppers that contain horsemeat. This admission comes just after The Guardian reports that Burger King reps offered a round of absolute assurances to customers that it did not ever use horsemeat in its products.
A series of tests done on the burger products now reveal that Burger King has been issuing completely phony statements, with burgers made for the fast food chain from the Irish company Silvercrest containing measurable levels of horsemeat. Its important to note this is the same company that processes meat for Tesco, Asda, and the Co-op. The managers at Silvercrest have been revealed to be utilizing non-approved ingredients within their burger assortment even for household brands.
Burger King admitted just a few hours ago that the samples did in fact contain horsemeat:
Four samples recently taken from the Silvercrest plant have shown the presence of very small trace levels of equine DNA we have established that Silvercrest used a small percentage of beef imported from a non-approved supplier in Poland. This is a clear violation of our specifications, and we have terminated our relationship with them.
As if all the saturated fat wasn't reason enough to avoid fast food.
I don't think the saturated fat is enough reason to avoid fast food. Sure it is enough of a reason to not eat it every day, but all things in moderation an occasional trip to BK of KFC isn't going to destroy anyone's health.As if all the saturated fat wasn't reason enough to avoid fast food.
You post a quote saying congress lifted a 5 year old ban on funding for horse meat inspections, then summarize by referencing Obama. Did he personally lead a drive to slaughter horses or something?4 more years for Obama! Horse meat can now be slaughtered for human consumption in the U.S.!
Horses could soon be slaughtered for meat in US - Yahoo! News Singapore
Horses could soon be butchered in the U.S. for human consumption after Congress quietly lifted a 5-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections, and activists say slaughterhouses could be up and running in as little as a month.
Yup. People eat lamb, cows, baby cows, pigs, but oh this one type of hoofed animal mustn't be slaughtered it is somehow different.Why do people care if there is horse in their burger? What difference does it make? You're eating a dead COW, for christ's sake.
I don't understand why anyone would be against slaughtering horses unless they were also against slaughtering any type of animal for food.

I don't eat at Burger King (Hungry Jacks) and now I never will.

Well if you had spent time with Horses you might understand better. People develop close bonds with them, and think of them more as pets than live stock.
