I don't want to eat horse, but...

...for goodness' sake - enough already! Okay, so the subterfuge involved in this "scandal" is thoroughly reprehensible, but haven't the media better things to bang on about?* This story has run its course. Time to move on.

Ethics aside, I happen to think that we owe it to the animal that has pulled, carried and died in countless battles with us not to eat it, but there are people starving, and here we are, (most of us) with enough to eat, bellyaching because we might have pony in our pizza?

*Ooh yes. Hilary Mantel has been rude about Kate. Well, that should take our minds off silly little problems (like the appalling suffering in Syria) for a week or two. Phew!
