"Feed the Man Meat" - But what IS it?

"Seven out of every 10 butchers investigated by the NSW Food Authority were found to have wrongly marketed their products, including adding pork or mutton to mince labelled as 100 per cent beef." - reports the ABC News site.

Is this is an example of private enterprise being allowed to go feral?

No doubt in an attempt to maximise profits at the expense of consumers we are being fed whatever happens to be cheapest.

A similar story will be appearing on a TV Channel about a fish substitution racket.

Along side substitution rackets and news about genetically modified foods coming on to the market there is a reported increase in cancers of various kinds.

I wonder if there is any connection?
