Even if those religious rules mean the animal has to be treated more humanely than the 'secular' systems of approval?

- gambiting 9y agoAbsolutely. It's purely about the involvement of religion that puts me off. If there was a "Catholic church approved cheese" I'd refuse to buy that too.
- tomcatfish 9y agoActually, you might be onto sonething with Catholic Cheese. Wine is even better, you could tell the vintage by the seated pope
- icebraining 9y agoYour loss. Monasteries and convents make some awesome foodstuffs, including great beer.
- jacquesm 9y agoFrom what I've seen it is rather the opposite.
- dionian 9y agowell, certainly anything can be misapplied...
- Accacin 9y agoIt's completely untrue that those 'religious rules' mean the animal is treated more humanely. "UK Food Standards Agency figures from 2011 suggest 84% of cattle, 81% of sheep and 88% of chickens slaughtered for halal meat were stunned before they died." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27324224 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27324224 The fact that 16% of cattle aren't stunned is completely disgraceful.
- dionian 9y agoI wouldn't assume that it means such, but I wouldn't assume otherwise, either...
