You may have heard about the recent scandal over the discovery of horse meat mixed into other meats sold in stores here in England. It's been a great boon for the local butchers, who proudly display signs saying they sell only locally grown livestock.

Smurfs!!!

In case you think it's limited to Germany and Spain, look at the many different languages on the packaging...this is mass marketing, people!

The worst part is, L loves them and demands them every time we see them in the store.
