If the French want to kill themselves who are we to stop them?
No this isn't a belated April Fool this is really happening!
From The Daily Record:
BATTLING meat bosses are taking the Record's Save Our Mince campaign to Europe.
A delegation will meet Brussels bureaucrats in an attempt to persuade them to scrap plans to ban the sale of properly aged beef mince.
The Record revealed the crazy proposals last week. They were drawn up by former EU health commissioner Markos Kyprianou.
Scots butchers hang meat for up to 28 days to give it extra flavour before it is minced. But EU pen-pushers say it should be hung for no more than six days after slaughter, on health grounds.
They claim the change would cut the risk of the French poisoning themselves with steak tartare, which is raw mince.
Farmers and butchers were furious and vowed to fight the plan all the way.
