In Europe, Ikea pulls horse meat meatballs to dismay of many on Internet - Polidicks

[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;39719209]Guys I found the vegan[/QUOTE] You also announced the person who eats meat

[QUOTE=Ridge;39718428]The Ikea store here in Denver is going to stop selling them as well.[/QUOTE] I am sorry for your loss. Article says U.S. stores are unaffected though since our meat comes from American cows.

[QUOTE=Iago;39716502]I hope lab grown meat replaces real meat in the future. Same food but without the animals getting killed in crowed, abusive prision in a very painful and brutal death.[/QUOTE] Too bad that lab grown meat will probably have fuck all for taste. I mean, even minuscule things like the animal running around in a courtyard instead of being stuffed in a cage make a significant difference in how good it tastes. Meat that just floated in a vat for a couple weeks will probably taste as good as wet wood scrapings.

IKEA is the sole reason I want to travel to Sweden. I imagine every shop in sweden is a IKEA. And that pencils are free. Oh god the pencils. Its fucking awesome I bagged like 180 of those

I'm sure the exact chemical processes that creates the ultimate meat "naturally" can be isolated and replicated eventually. Personally I wouldn't have much of an issue with vat-grown meat if it tasted the same and didn't burden the environment as well as my wallet so much.

They haven't stopped selling them here in Norway, because they get them from a producer in Stavanger (in Norway), and they know that they are not selling horse meat. I wouldn't mind eating horse meat, though, I love this sausage made out of horse meat (and some other stuff), but I guess some other countries think it's kinda taboo.

In Europe all meat is horse meat. Cows are just horses dressed in leather. Chickens are genetically modified ponies. What a scandal.

[QUOTE=Omali;39721591]Didn't someone test the Japanese steak made out of proteins from feces and find that it tasted almost exactly like a steak?[/QUOTE]Is there even any proof such a thing actually exists?

I'm probably missing something, but what is so bad about horse meat anyways?

[QUOTE=Atwal;39721686]I'm probably missing something, but what is so bad about horse meat anyways?[/QUOTE] Mostly the fact that it wasn't labeled properly. That also ties in with the fact that horses can have been bred with certain hormones that isn't good for us squishy humans What i gathered anyway

I think with our scientific advancements we'll be able to make fake meat taste like real meat...

[QUOTE=Omali;39721817]Considering just about every fruit flavor has been recreated with chemicals, I'm sure artificial texture can't be too far off.[/QUOTE] They didn't exactly 'recreate' fruit flavours, they literally just copied the chemicals in fruit that give it it's flavour. Texture is rather more difficult, and might require the mechanical manipulation of the lab-grown tissue to copy.

I don't see the problem with horsemeat, tastes like any other meat....

[QUOTE=Flash;39726429]I don't see the problem with horsemeat, tastes like any other meat....[/QUOTE] The issue is the food labelling one, if you buy beef you expect beef not horse. Its a major scandal because something has managed to enter into what is meant to be a very strictly controlled chain without anyone knowing how it got there.
