My eldest announced last night that she wants me to stop shopping at my usual supermarket! The reason being is that top uk supermarkets are selling halal meat without labeling it as such, and she objects to the halal methods of slaughter. Waitrose, M&S, Sainsburys, Tesco, Somerfield and Co-op sell it, also Dominos, Pizza Hut, KFC, Nandos, and Subway also use it without informing customers, Asda refused to comment.
After my initial irritation that I should have to change my shopping practices for one of her fads I began to see her point. I personally dont object to people buying halal if they want to or if they need to for religious reasons. I think the supermarkets should give us the option of buying halal or non halal, whichever is our preference and I do think that the supermarkets should have to label it as such, the same way they have to label everything for everything else they can possibly think of. We all have a right to know what we are buying.
