    Not sure on the calories, but I understand that its high in protein - so a win surely?

    Horses are leaner, so also lower in saturated fat. Win-win.

    Gray is more ethical. Either way you need a couple of them for a proper meal.

    On a more serious note tho, if we don't even know what is in food, just how accurate is the calorific info on the packaging?

    This is so true. We may as well guess with processed foods. At best they are an average guess, at worse, well it could be anything.

    Personally I'm trying not to worry about it too much, or I would drive myself mad. I have no qualms eating horse, but I'd like to know its horse....

    I'd eat horse.

    I mean, I already eat wallaby, kangaroo, rabbit, quail, duck...

    I find it hilarious that people are so freaked out over it really. Would they still buy it if it was labeled perfectly honestly?

    Ignore all the neigh sayers, I'd be chomping at the bit for a nice horse steak. High protein, low fat. What's nice to like hay?
    Odds on it tasting nice and juicy too?

    It's not the fact that its horse that's the problem. It's that a) you can't trust the label and b) you can't be sure that the animal that went into the product has been subject to the standard procedures for raising animals for consumption. If you dont know whats IN the product you don't know where it cane from. Chief of the concerns with horse is the presence of a antibiotic known as 'bute' which is carcinogenic.

    I think I'd rather eat horse than beef, considering how poorly raised a lot of commercial beef is. Makes me glad that it's hard to find anything BUT grass-fed beef in Tassie.

    Calorie counts are estimates calculated from formulas built on averages. So they are very precise.
