Bill Maher On Horse Meat Scandal (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 4th, 2013 in Comedians, Food & Drink, TV Hosts.

Bill Maher took on the hilarious challenge of discussing the recent horse meat appearing in the food supply controversy.

Several stores in the UK were found to have been carrying meat labeled as beef that contained horse meat and most recently, IKEA has come under fire for stocking meatballs that tested positive as well.

Maher, in his usual cynical way, used the scandal to remind everyone that given the state of food labeling today, it should be no surprise such as mixup was made. And if we’re used to eating every other animal on the planet, why are we so fussy about horses?

Jamie Kilstein

Jamie Kilstein has a recent interview with PETA2.

The comedian has an upcoming tour in the UK and although he is known for inserting his animal rights and vegetarian beliefs into a few of his routines, that doesn’t mean meat eaters will get a tongue lashing.

“A lot of people who eat animals aren’t the monsters we like to imagine. Many of them are ignorant like we once were,” he said. “They don’t think of a McNugget as a baby chick. They think of it as a McNugget, whatever the f*** that is. Most people love animals. We treat our dogs and cats like members of the family, but the cognitive dissonance is unbelievable when it comes to the dead animals we put in our mouths.”
