Subject: RE: BS: Standard meat Indian restaurants?
Steve,
Suppose you put "halal" on a label. I wonder how many people would know what it meant...

Why does that matter?
Some people need to know, some would just like to know, and many just do not care.

Why would you want to conceal it?


Exactly, pfr. In other words, the campaign to get halal on food labels has racist undertones.


What utter nonsense. There is nothing racist about it, or are the RSPCA and the British Veterinary Association all racists?
You are like a modern day witch finder with your obsession with racism.

I mean, why not put on the label "this chicken was injected with antibiotics to enable the farmer to keep it in overcrowded conditions in a darkened shed with 40,000 other birds". Or, "this milk was produced by a highly-bred cow with an udder so huge that it has trouble moving around the field for half the day".

No need for that label. It all is except for organic products, which are clearly labelled.
