KFC diner told 'you can't have bacon in your burger here - we're now halal'
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/24/article-1260286-08DA4708000005DC-834_468x286.jpg)
A diner was left fuming after a KFC restaurant took his favourite meal off the menu because it breached their new halal regulations.
Alan Phillips was told he would have to travel five miles to another branch if he wanted the Big Daddy, a chicken burger, topped with bacon, cheese and salad.
The branch, in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is one of 86 KFC restaurants which is running trials of a scheme where they sell nothing other than halal meat.
The company has taken the burger off the menu because Islamic dietary law forbids Muslims to eat anything which has been prepared on the same premises as pork, which is itself strictly forbidden.

Wow. From the article:
"Traditionally, halal meat must be slaughtered by hand, although KFC, which has more than 750 restaurants in the UK, said its chickens are not killed in this way.
The meat must also be blessed in the name of Allah and cannot be kept on the same premises as banned substances including pork and alcohol."
The Big Daddy:

'It is getting silly,' he said. 'I have many friends who are black, white and Muslim but they wouldn't be forced to eat non-halal meat.
'I have no problem with them selling halal meat, but I would like the choice.'
So, will the amount of business they loose because of this be compensated by the increase they’ll see?
What is the justification for them to bend over backwards like this for one demographic?
I thought it was bad when I couldn’t eat meat on Friday’s during Lent growing up.

Yeah, Wendy's is the same way when I eat a lot.
As for the topic of this thread, this is just more unnecessary appeasement of Muslims. The western world is already bending over backwards for these people, so why not keep going. Ridiculous. ::)

Boohoo- like its his right to have bacon at KFC LOL. They're obviously trying to market it to muslims, and if it works-- more power to them. I was pissed when BK discontinued their angus mushroom swiss as well- which had marketing reasons ofcourse.

That's like any sane person arguing that they can't get healthy nutritious meals at greasy spoon diners or fast food places. Too bad... go eat somewhere else. Obviously fast food restaurants and greasy spoon diners are catering to slobs who don't care about their bodies. Go find a place that wants the business of your demographic. Do you complain that in France they serve fries with mayonnaise? Get a life!
