Pfr,
Keith's spurious excuses for labeling...

Why do you have to say nasty things like that?
I stand by everything I have said, and none of it is "spurious."
Why can we not just discuss the issues without being personal and nasty about it?

This is not about food quality. I am aware of no difference in quality between Halal, Kosher and regulation meat.
My only case is about labelling which you say you do not care about, so why even address posts to me?

Steve,
Muslims who want halal meat will go to a halal butcher.

Yes, and they are always clearly labelled and no-one objects.
There are none here or in any of the local towns that I know of, and Muslims shop in our local supermakets where meat is not labelled.

if you want to know if any meat you buy is halal, well you've got a tongue in your head.

So any labelling is superfluous? We should all form orderly queues to ask if it is Halal or organic or where from or free range or full fat or........

We label for other information so why not Halal, Kosher, etc.
What is your problem with it?
