I like meat. I don't like quorn, tofu or veg much.

So nothing really will stop me eating meat. Think of the millions of poor defenceless broccoli who will suffer if I switched to veg.

I presume you mean the horse/donkey thing. Well I think you'd be a fool to give up meat because of that. Problems happen with food all the time, not just with meat. Glass fragments in baby food, food poisoning from beansprouts etc etc. I used to work for a big supermarket and we'd be contacted regularly to take certain products off the shelves due to one potential danger or another. Problems will always happen with food. The liklihood of these problems affecting you are miniscule.

I like meat

I like it sooooooooo much, I sleep in a meat bed and bathe in a meat bath

I roll around in it for pleasure, I wear dresses made out of it (am not Lady Gaga)

I paint it, and I caress it, before I eat it

you don't do these things ?

I like meat.

I'd eat horse.

OpheliasWeepingWillow · 13/02/2013 18:46

I don't think I could eat hedgehog, badger, elephant or tiger so I guess I've given those up

HermioneE · 13/02/2013 18:46

Assuming this is about the horse meat scandal OP, did you know they eat horse deliberately in some countries?

And I suggest not watching I'm a Celebrity... Although personally I'd rather eat horse than watch that anyway!!

Kyrptonite · 13/02/2013 18:47

I think tiger might taste quite nice. Elephant looks a tad tough however.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 13/02/2013 18:48

:o Bogey.

Someone on a thread the other day asked "why do humans think they have to be the head of all species."

It made me laugh. People are actually going round wondering how we got here!

Makes me think of 'special stuff '

I understood that meat will become a lot more expensive in the future, due to the cost and availabilty of grain etc I foresee that we will all eat a lot less of it than we do now.

ElenorRigby · 13/02/2013 18:49

desinewed meat, horse meat, no tracebility, donkey meat, anymeat, beaten horsemeat,
When would a stomach turn?
Personally I fucked it off in '86 at the start of the BSE crisis.

See the horse/donkey aspect doesn't bother me, obviously I'd rather it was labelled correctly but I don't see any difference between eating a horse and a cow. I'd rather eat horse than sheep. I quite like sheep.

PickledInAPearTree · 13/02/2013 18:50

I ate a reindeer in Sweden around Christmas time. It was really lovely.

pigletmania · 13/02/2013 18:50

Yabvvvu I love meat and will not stop eating it, after all we are omnivores. I don't buy value stuff but good quality meat

SkinnybitchWannabe · 13/02/2013 18:51

I always say if sheep, cows, chickens and fish didn't taste so nice I wouldn't eat it.
Im married to a butcher so alwayd get the best cuts cheap.

AnyFucker · 13/02/2013 18:51

good for you, OP

smashing

now where did I lose that fuck I am supposed to give ?

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 13/02/2013 18:53

I avoid mechanically recovered meat but I like meat meat.

PickledInAPearTree · 13/02/2013 18:54

It dosent stop me eating meat but I don't eat the real rank stuff.

CloudsAndTrees · 13/02/2013 18:54

My stomach isn't turned by there being horsemeat in cheap lasagnes and the like because I don't eat that shite anyway.

It's not that hard to only eat good quality meat that hasn't travelled all the way across Europe and had God knows what mixed with it.

bulletwithbutterflywings · 13/02/2013 18:55

I think if the world ran out of meat I might stop eating it, but I can't guarantee that.
