China's Horses Could End Up In Russia's Kabobs

China exports the most horse meat to the global market, when Russia has the biggest appetite for horseflesh, in accordance to a new infographic on the continuing European scandal in excess of horse meat offered as beef.

Mike Stewart, editor of the newish blog Australian Foods Security Information, tried to create a submit untangling the numerous threads of the European horse meat scandal. "But it was all so complicated and perplexing, it appeared like the simplest way to clarify it was to do an infographic," he informed The Salt.
