awooooooooooooooooooooooooooooremember back in like 2011 when some company was discovered having horse meat in their non-horse meats and it was like a months-long scandal but compare that to 2017 where hobby lobby’s evangelical owners funded ISIS in smuggling thousands of ancient sumerian tablets to facilitate the second coming and we talked about it for maybe 5 days at most
Dabdullah Öcalan@doggeaux Taco Bell even gave us all crunch wraps supreme; Hobby Lobby hasn't apologized for trying to be a the Nazis from Indiana Jones
Jonathanokay but remember when the juggalos marched to the white house a la homestuck
Zyla toots you 
@doggeaux want my mom's galaxy brain take: she was glad of it because at least now the tablets would be protected
healyn@doggeaux chalk that one up to a whoopsie daisy
Finn-American🌹@doggeaux Companies seen as bastions of conservative power follow different rules from all other businesses.

It was 2013 the horse meat scandal. I was learning Chinese at the time. The tutor asked us to describe an English dish and the rest of the class went for fish and chips. I desperately wanted to interrupt with 天天英国人吃马肉 ( my best attempt at "The English eat horse every day").
More harm is probably being done with all the single use black plastic. We're only just getting around to talking about that.
AleWhy buy contraceptives when you can buy sumerian tablets?

(Also that was a doozy of a CW. The ukpol and food scandal are unrelated to the rest, except for the linked toot comparing its coverage to the rest.)
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKin Europe it happened around 2013. Chap who got nicked for it was a Dutch trader *already* busted once for selling mislabeled horsemeat through the halal food chain (although not haram its makruh (undesirable))
he then moved to wider European meat supply and eventually about 20+ different countries Environment Ministries realised what was happening.
His company was even called "draap trading" (draap is paard backwards, Dutch for horse 🐴 )
