371: HORSE MEAT??!! Live on DIYS with Guest Host Milah Mapp

So this is your first time co-hosting with me.

Not your first time on the show.

So I think you're familiar with it.

We find crazy stories all on the Internet and we talk about those.

And one of the stories is actually the first one we're going to jump into.

This is actually from 2021, the first part of the story.

So all these meat has been confirmed to be 100 percent horse meat lasagna.

Let me let that sink in for a little bit.

You know, I'm not an Aldi person.

So I, you know, I stopped eating meats from strange places a whole long time

ago.

But I knew something was, I knew something was suspicious when they did the recall on the beef.

And then they said something about wrangling all the wild horses for $25 each.

I said, This is not a coincidence.

That's the next part of the story.

So I'm going to do this part first.

So in February 2013, already confirmed is today's special frozen beef lasagna and spaghetti bolognese was tested between 30% and 100% horse meat, not beef.

contamination traced back to french supplier uh comical subcontractors and the dutch middlemen who mislabeled horse meat from romania from romania as beef they supplied products across 16 countries meaning the fraud didn't stop at aldi it was in several grocery chains and fast food restaurants damn including burger king and taco bell This issue only affected European stores and never impacted all the locations in the United States.

We didn't have nothing to worry about, but it's still crazy

to

think.

That was the first part of the story.

Now, moving on, y'all know it's the beach audit in the United States right now.

The FDA has approved this new administration that has approved getting beef from places that haven't been met with FDA standards and now don't really come up to our FDA standards.

And our FDA standards are lax as fuck, okay? We got the FDA standards of an alternative school.
