I am partial to Mexican food anyway, and when I want a good taco, there are limitless genuine taquerias to choose from here in Los Angeles County.

When I want a fast food hamburger - I find an In N Out.

There are penty of Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean joints around here as well.

Why would I ever want to go to Burger King?

Horse meat is actually healthier than beef.
It is higher in B12 than spinach, nearly double the iron of beef, leaner than most cuts of beef, and has 360mg of omega 3 per serving.

You have to be careful with the Mexican food also --- as well as the Asian food where they cook dogs all the time.

Rodela reportedly confessed that he slaughtered the dogs for a barbecue. It is unclear, however, if he succeeded in actually cooking the dogs.

It is also unclear whether Rodela intended to sell the barbecue or it was for personal consumption.

If they did, it could only improve the quality of their product.

I'm sure that mexican food joints only use top quality cuts.

We really never know exactly what we are eating when we dine out, so what's the difference?

Fish filets are often times not the type of fish that you ordered.

People, can we please be logical about this?

First of all, there have been ZERO burgers from Burger King that have tested positive for the presence of horse meat - anywhere, in any of their locations worldwide.

Secondly, the meat bought from the supplier in question (from Poland) was NEVER sold or eaten in the US. The only BK restaurants even possibly affected were in the UK and Ireland. And I repeat, no traces of equine DNA were found in ANY Burger King locations anywhere in the world.

I only eat the veggie burgers.... I'm not too worried about what part of the soybean is used.

Don't forget McDonalds had kangaroo in their beef. and no one could tell the difference. They are all animals, what's the difference?

Harrier,

This might be the first time I have disagreed with you on anything, but I am always leary of these claims. Some people love Burger King, others can't stand them: I am not much of a fast food person period, but I wouldn't let one report influence where I eat. I will add, if I am eating a fast food buger it would be In&Out first and then, probably Burger King next...

So you'd rather eat cat or dog than horse? I'd rather eat horse, carnivore meat doesn't taste as good as herbivore.
