Food Fraud Hits New Low: Dog Meat In British Curry

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The food fraud story has now progressed from somewhat humorous with the undersized Subway footlong subs, to the highly disturbing with the revelations of horse meat and fake tuna, to the really creepy with the now potential emergence of dog meat in UK lamb curry.  No you can’t print lamb folks, which is exactly why many humans are now eating worse than their pets in the Western world.

A mystery meat, which has defied the best efforts of scientists to identify it, has been found in a lamb curry as part of an investigation into food fraud.

 

The discovery raises new questions about just what is going into the nation’s takeaways and processed foods.

 

The meat in a Beef in Black Bean Sauce dish turned out to contain high levels of chicken material including blood, while a burger contained no beef at all, other than blood and heart.

 

However, most alarming of all was a curry. A spokesman for the programme said: ‘Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, the results came in for an Indian Lamb Curry.

 

‘It did contain meat, but that meat was not lamb, not pork, nor was it chicken or beef. Not horse, and not goat either.

 

All of the many tests to date by the lab used by the programme have failed to identify exactly which animal was the source of the meat.

 

The revelation raises many grim possibilities. There is evidence from Spain, for example, of meat from dog carcasses being processed for use in pet food.

 

At the same time, a meat cutting plant in Wales has been accused of supplying horsemeat from an abattoir in Yorkshire to companies making kebabs and burgers for hundreds of independent take-aways.

Don’t worry mate, your savior George Osborne will simply create a housing bubble and you’ll be so distracted that dirt will soon taste good.  Cheers!

America wake up!

P.S.  Very interesting that the link won't work and yet I can open the page.  Hummmm

Anyway the bottom line is Monsanto is now above the law.

Here's an excerpt:

The Monsanto Protection Act, part of the HR 933 continuing resolution, allows Monsanto to override U.S. federal courts on the issue of planting experimental genetically engineered crops all across the country. Even if those experimental crops are found to be extremely dangerous or to cause a runaway crop plague, the U.S. government now has no judicial power to stop them from being planted and harvested.


As ibtimes.com reports, the bill "effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of GMO or GE crops and seeds, no matter what health consequences from the consumption of these products may come to light in the future."

No comment on epic plunge of grains? Incredibly stupid central planners trying to scare investors out of grains to buy their overpumped shitload of stocks (to help thier bankster friends selling at top). Amazing how crazy are these people. They really believe they can CONTROL ALL THE MARKETS ha ha ha.

I'm beginning to think this has been going on for quite some time. Maybe only recently with gene sequencers and complex analytical equipment they've been able to catch them in the act. Perhaps inflation is these manufacturers running out of pets to pad their products? So, if we remove all the road kill, pets and vermin from the cheep junk people are eating today what would be the real cost of that "food"? Maybe the sheep really want to live in ignorance.

As far as I can tell from the article dog meat has NOT been identified - they "simply" don't know what it is. Not reassuring but still NOT dog meat.

but as far as we know not dog food - the post title is borderline disingenuous. I am all for knowing what I eat - no question - but ZH should have better editorial integrity. Not the first time something is reported as fact when the linked material just doesn't substantiate the claim (one example that comes to mind is the 75% french tax which was not votes down because the rate is too high but on a technicality).

Here I thought it was Black Beauty that was in my frozen lasagne and now it turns out it was Ol'Yeller all along.

(woof...sound of cookies being tossed)

But seriously, if you have an extended supply chain that spans a few thousand miles and crosses several borders, you really have no control over what you are eating. And good luck trying to establish any sort of responsibility in a legal manner.

Globalized supply chains are in issue for every product, but can be really yucky when food is involved.

Two lessons here: 1. Buy local.     2.  Don't buy highly processed food.

Earthworm protein has the same amino acid concentration and balance and is as nutritionally sound as fish, meat, and milk. The trick is to put them in a pan of lukewarm water for an hour or so to clean them out - otherwise they can be a bit gritty. Then pat dry, dip in the batter of your choice, and pop in the fryer. Use a cheese batter - better than Cheetos! Great for those Sunday football games - light beer and fried worms - hard to beat. Low fat too - except for that cheese batter. If you're on the South beach diet omit the cheese and just fry them au natural. Some kosher salt and you've got high protein pretzel sticks. AND - your three year old will be super impressed!

That is foul.  I would rather eat Quinoa which has the same enzymes and amino acids/protein.  Not to mention, frying anything with a batter coat is not very healthy at all.  Makes me think of the idiots who eat fried broccoli.

 

I've been on the Paleo diet for about 8 months now.  We eat raw.  Try it, good stuff.   I race motocross and do cross country mountain biking, my performance went up HUGE on it.  I used to mountai bike for maybe 3 hours in the summer, now I can do 5 hours in 100 degree weather while setting faster lap times. 

HEDGELESS HORSEMAN-  I enjoy seeing your meals.  But, I'd like to ask your thoughts on white potatoes?  They jack up your insulin levels pretty bad apparently.. thoughts?

A long supply chain means limited control over what you are buying or eating. But you can solve this problem by making intelligence purchases. That way you will never have to suffer the embarrassment in your favorite restaurant by calling out:   “Waiter, there is a horse in my soup!”

Priceless. So funny.

Only 'americans' command the art of double standards this way.

This might mean serious backstabbing for local 'americans' in places like China as they could have stepped up the 'american' platform for advancement of humanity on dog eating.

But now if 'americans' show that dog eating is what 'americans' do...

'Americans', one article reporting that in Japan, they started to eat dust.

When 'americans' have monetized dirt to be eaten, when they start selling mud pies, they will declare it a big victory of humanity.

Consider, monetizing the eating of mud pies, big success for 'american' economics.

Running out of possibilities here...

So, as far as anyone knows, the mystery meat could be a collection of "missing" homeless people.   Ok, becoming a vegetarian is starting to look good.  After having been food poisoned in several restaurants around London in the past 18 months, I am reaching my end.  It is bad enough seeing restaurant employees leaving the bathroom without washing their hands, now I have to wonder what "mystery" meat I am being fed.
