This was the reasoning behind the decision of a school to use only halal meat in school lunches as it saved the nuisance (and expense) of providing halal meat for Muslims and “ordinary” meat for the rest. There was the predictable outcry though for the wrong reason. (People were complaining about their children being forced to eat “Muslim” meat when they should have been complaining about the cruelty to animals with which this meat is produced.)

Religious sensibilities are one thing but they are always trumped by the demands of the accountants.

All this nonsense provides me with one more reason to be glad I’m a vegetarian.
