Have you changed your shopping due to the horse meat scandal?

Never bought ready meals at home but have started sending our daughter to school with a packed lunch. Been meaning to do it anyway to have more control over what she eats.

No change needed. I've always bought fresh meat from our local butcher who sources locally and prepares it in full view in the shop. Cheaper and much better quality than the supermarket crap. Same with veg, we have a local farm shop that even grows in the fields at the foot of my garden. Much rather keep them going than the multi-nationals. I go to Asda for bog roll, cleaning stuff, a few tinned and dried goods, and milk. I've very rarely eaten processed ready meals, just occasionally at work. They're always crap, tasting of MSG, salt, sugar and hydrogenated fats mostly.

What I think people is not understanding is that if you have had a takeaway of any sort weather it being takeaway ready meals fair ground food burger stall food you have had something different to what you ordered already,9 times out of 10 when they are making there burgers they tumble the meat in a big sort of washing machine mixer were they integrate various odds and sods of different meat and water to bulk it out the industry has been doing it for years.it's only now that it's been brought to light.SJ.

Around 20 ish yrs ago when i worked for BT Cellnet, i used to go to one of the big animal feed producers, and after talking to one of the guys there i stopped eating meat for 8yrs, was around the time of the first BSE meat scandal.
I think we aught to be much more concerned about what they put in the feed pellets, on these super farms than the odd bits of Shergar that make it into our food chain, the mass produced beef etc has probably been eating horse, and most other animal offal ALL it's life, never mind the cocktail of steroids and other drugs they put into them to bulk them up and keep them "healthy".

No steroids in uk sourced beef, they're also pretty strict on what drugs are used to treat any ailments.
Least this is the case with any decent abbatoir.
It's only the dodgy ones you have to watch, ours is strict as anything it's almost a joke at times.

NOt me. Meat is meat. It's only UK culture than says it's wrong to eat Horse meat.
If it's cooked and has nothing bad in it (Like Bute) then I'll eat it.
