'Now it's dog or cat in our curry!' ( Daily Mirror 28/03/2013)
After recent food scares in the UK over supposed Beef products containing Horsemeat comes a report that Scientists who tested a Lamb Buhna, served at a London restaurant, were startled to discover that it had absolutely no trace of Lamb DNA. Further tests showed it was not pig, goat, beef or thankfully human flesh. They are left with the possibility that the meat in the dish may be from stray cats or dogs, although why they did not check against that type of DNA is not answered. Being a tabloid the Mirror helpfully gave its version of a menu.

So the food chain is so corrupted we just never know what we are eating.

If you do not grow it or rear it yourself
You never know what is on the shelf
It may be labelled as anything that is true
But you cannot be sure of what they are giving you!!!
