Taco bell caught passing off horse meat as beef

by **Symmetry** on Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:57 pm

Taco Bell, the US-based fast food company, has withdrawn its taco beef products from sale in British and Spanish outlets after finding some beef contained more than 10% horse DNA. The move came as Birds Eye confirmed that two ready meals it removed from supermarket shelves as a precaution last week have proved to have "low levels" of horse DNA.

I have a theory. It is pretty far fetched but hear me out. Horses are now having sex with cows and the 10% DNA found in beef is just horse semen. A lot of horse semen. Case closed. We can move on with out life.

I'm not sure that "Don't worry, it's not horse meat in our tacos- it's horse semen!" will work well for the company.

Horse meat had to be inside the cow to leave any horse semen so technically they don't need to reveal that much information.

If by veggie burgers, you mean horse semen stuffed burgers, you might be right.

Semen is relatively vegie-friendly after you take the meat out of your mouth. All those proteins and glucose

Thats impossible because the horse semen would only be in the cows reproductive organs and those would not be in the meat supply....

actually, nevermind.
