Bloody hell! Instant vegetarianism
Advertisements [?]
Four men who made more than £1 million by selling hundreds of tons of diseased and unfit meat to schools, hospitals, supermarkets and restaurants were jailed yesterday.

The meat, classed as unfit for humans, should have been incinerated or made into pet food or fertiliser, but was repackaged and distributed through a network of wholesalers.

The chicken and turkey, often gathered from skips where it had been left to rot, was trimmed and repackaged at a rundown, rat-infested and sewage- flooded factory before being sold on.

It ended up in products on the shelves of Sainsbury's, Tesco and Kwik Save. Other unwitting buyers included Derbyshire police, which investigated the case, Islington council and Farmfoods.
