Exactly, I didn't get why they seemed to ignore this. It was an obvious issue. You can't just pump horses full of things never meant for human consumption, then dump them into our (well the horse eaters') food chain.

I really hope this ends up being a good thing. I don't want to cheer too early. Let's see if the right things happen.
