A horse of course .. In the US of course

Some people have denied the chances of horse meat actively being eaten in the United States.
Maybe you thought that way too.. Or still do. Until you read this New York Times article about how horse meat does travel through the US.. The Times reports:

As concerns over horse meat infiltrating products labeled ground beef grows among American consumers, an advocacy group released shipping documents showing that horse meat does pass through at least one United States port on its way from slaughterhouses in Mexico to destinations in Europe.

How about that can of meat.. Or that schoo lunch.. Or the mystery meat you assumed was cow. Maybe the ney is growing louder for you now..
