Should the Burqa be banned in Australia

[nero_bolt]

Should the Burqa and Niqab be banned in Australia?

[azureline**]

Not necessarily...................... certification costs money and time.

Who's trying to get you to eat halal?

Nearly every food in the supermarket now is Halal

eg; Cadbury chocolate, Maggi noodles, vegemite, steggles, Kraft products, Leggos products, four n twenty pies, Bega cheese, mainland cheese, Coon cheese, KFC, Hungery Jacks, Mc Donalds,Gravox, Fountain Sauces, wonderwhite bread.... the list goes on and on.

Even Coopers beer, winfield ciggies, Johnsons baby oil and a certain brand of cat food (Cant recall which one at the moment) all pay for Halal certification.

Check for the Halal certification logos on the products but, be aware that there are also many many products that are Halal but that do not put the logo on their products

The following products are definitely Halal: 

1. Milk (from cows, sheep, camels, and goats) 
2. Honey 
3. Fish 
4. Plants which are not intoxicant 
5. Fresh or naturally frozen vegetables 
6. Fresh or dried fruits 
7. Legumes and nuts like peanuts, cashew nuts, hazel nuts, walnuts, etc. 
8. Grains such as wheat, rice, rye, barley, oat, etc.

actually, the above produce is only Halal if you believe in Halal.

I do not believe in Halal so therefor the produce listed is simply food to me.

What i am trying very hard to avoid buying is products that pay to have Halal certification.

[daydream**believer]

I have written to a few companies now asking what they pay to have the Halal logo on theirt products.

None will answer. I have since found out that they have to sign a confidentiality document to not disclose the amount.

Why is that?

Why cant the public, the consumers, know how much that little Halal logo is costing?

Not very good examples, most of those listed are unhealthy foods that we don't need in our diet anyway,

I suppose you'd be safe if you dipped everything in pork fat before eating it.

and i'm pretty sure those are the halal

(dietary standard as prescribed in the Qur'an)-

foods that ufo was referring to.

Consumers have no right to demand a private business provide them with details of their expenses. Don't like the company, don't buy their products..

[daydream**believer]

yeh good one am.

Any excuse to disagree with a poster

lol

To those who want to see ALL the products that are Halal certified, healthy and unhealthy, check this site

Nothing to do with disagreeing with a poster. I am replying to what was wriitten in a post... Examples given were your choice. They were poor examples of the many hundreds of products that are sold in supernarkets.
