If a meat producer has to pay $30,000 a month to become halal certified, is the cost only transfered to the halal meat? Probably not. Besides that cost you'd have to factor in the additional costs of management arranging this, the factory workers, the people boxing it up, right down to the stock boys stocking the shelves. Lots of additional costs.
Maybe if all foods were halal these costs wouldn't be necessary. (no stamp, etc...)
Do the non muslims here NOT object to paying more for their food to satisfy a different religion than yours?
And what if Christians living in the middle east required the same requirements? As in a special non halal stamp that raised the price of foods to the muslims living there. Would THEY object? I think yes. Not only that...there would be some very violent repercussions if they even attempted it.
