Nearly 200 UK Subways are halal only

Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after 'strong demand' from Muslims

I wonder if this is going to happen here?

Surely there are bigger issues to be offended about than a small number of Subway stores in a country far, far away from Australia presenting food appropriate to their customer demographic.  Why does the declaration that a pig is an unclean animal in the Muslim faith affect you so strongly ?   Why does it even worry you and find it offensive ?  Strange maybe, even odd, or inappropriate to your culture, but offensive ???

l would think the pigs would be happy about it!

Why remove bacon and ham? surely those who can't/won't/don't eat it can order a Subway with else on it. Quite frankly I find it offensive that they deem this animal to be un clean, what a load of HOGWASH

Who is they?  Is it the muslims, the jews, the vegetarians?

If they remove bacon and ham here subway will lose a lot of money. We the majority want bacon and ham!

Quite obviously, the almost 200 stores that did it, have a majority of customers who don't want ham and bacon. Otherwise their marketing strategy will send them bankrupt.

Subway is a business, why would they change their menu options unless it was profitable?

Subway don't care if they offend. Subway cafre about the profitability of the store and if they can make more by having halal subway, kosher subway or vegetarian subway they will cater for those people.

I want my bacon and ham to come from a pig. (I couldn't live without my bacon and ham)

All animals to be killed humanely.

Apart from that......
