I've eaten horsemeat and I think the avoidance is purely cultural. But there were at least 2 issues: - one, which has not health impact, of selling something for another - one, which has indirect health impact, is that the control circuits which were put in place after the mad cow decease fiasco were subverted and didn't trigger any warnings. If they weren't triggered here, it's an indication that other substitutions, worse for the health, could have happened without having be detected either. -- Jean-Marc
