Yes, you read that right...the first paragraph says "U.S. Government inspected horse meat is the principal ingredient in Friskies..." Talk about your details that wouldn't fly in an ad today!

Reminds me of that Mad Men episode where the focus group got pissed when they found out their dogs were eating horse meat. At some point, people started having problems with it. I think horses are lovely, but why they should be spared the slaughterhouse and not a cow or a pig, I have never fully understood. I guess just because people relate to them more.
