From the article said:The Princess Royal has suggested Britons should consider eating horse meat – because it would improve standards of care for the animals.
Umm, no it wouldn't. Hasn't this person ever heard of factory farming and it's horrible conditions?[/quote]
Has she not heard of the abbatoir scandal in the UK, where horses were treated with great cruelty ?
So disgusting. Why doesn't she eat her dogs, and family members, when they get old, too?

Wouldn't put it past a royal to think that way...well, SHE wouldn't do it in her ideal world, but all of the lesser rabble would. She'll be too busy getting hand-fed grapes while someone is fanning her with a palm frond.
Yes, I was really shocked by her comments. This kind of attitude only make you feel that most Royals have no idea of what it is to live in the real world.
Well, I thought that was common knowledge. You know, the whole "let them eat cake" kind of attitude going back at least to the 18th century. Yes, I know Marie Antoinette didn't actually say that, but the point was, she was the kind of royal who MIGHT have said it, or some variation on it.
Horse meat isn't kosher is it? I think it is not halal anyway.

I thought Antoinette said 'spiced bread' rather than cake...that's what I heard somewhere(probably the radio)......I had some pain d'epice when I was in France..quite nice....but I really just wanted sliced bread.
There was actually a book published about a century (more?) before that quoted a princess saying "let them eat cake". Poor Marie Antoinette got stuck with it.The original myth had misquoted her as saying some sort of fancy bread rather than cake, yeah. In actually, Marie Antoinette said nothing of the sort.
They eat it in Belgium.
Well, this ain't Belgium.
They ate rats in Stalingrad!
