 This is all down to corporate greed.

 What isn't?

I would never knowingly eat meat that has been killed more inhumanely than necessary. We are having things sneakily pushed onto us....makes me want to return to my veggie diet.

 I was veggie for some years but lost so much weight I was like a pipe cleaner, around 7.5 stone max.   Mind you, I was only in my 20s.  Then I had another veggie stint later but struggled with it as I had to cook two sets of food for the rest of the family.   

I'd eat mostly veg if I was single.

OH hates spicy food, cant even stand the smell, so we dont eat out Indian.
My lovely Indian neighbours usually have a spicy curry on the go, and their windows open....I love the aroma, he hates it.
I usually eat fish when I am out too....I can be very funny about meat.

 I'm very fussy about sell by dates.  I won't eat it if it's after the sell by or use by and I never eat food that's been left out overnight.  My husband, the pig, will eat anything.

There are what are called tipping points - more or less natural changes caused by numbers (extensive quantities).   With Jews in Britain their numbers were small and they lived in small communities and they could get kosher food from specialist suppliers.   In addition only a small proportion of these Jews were "religious" and the non-religious Jews (atheist, agnostic, secular) didn't care for the "kosher" aspect of food.

However with Muslims their growth has been huge and they continue to grow forming a significant proportion of immigrants into Britain over the past twenty or thirty years.  The majority tend to be religious and many have become political taking up influential positions where there religion is a major determinant of their actions.   They require and demand Halal food and given their number and distribution it is cheaper for the major supermarkets, schools etc to serve up food Halal rather than having two types of everything: one halal and one non-halal.

There are still many things that are non-halal and sometimes I explain to Muslim mothers what is halal and what is not halal - and I am a non-Muslim, but I know quite a bit about Islam.

 How come you are in a position to educate Muslim mothers?

 Sometimes I see some Muslim mothers trying to read the small print of the packaging so help them out that way.  Also some get confused by the amount of alcohol - they are allowed if it is in trace amounts or if it boils off during the cooking process.   There are so many trace things in the foods we eat - it has no physiological effect - but for completion it is often specified in the ingredients. 

The important thing is that it is in such minor amounts that it has no physiological effect.   During the times of Mohammad and the Islamic Conquests when heads where being lopped off left right and centre the banning of alcohol was meant to be that found in quantity in barrels or bottles and that which caused drunkenness - not good if one wants to have their armies of clear mind and present for battle as well as for the lopping off of heads of prisoners and the naughty.

 I very much doubt the average Muslim woman would welcome a strange man muscling in on them in Asda when they are choosing what to have for tea.

 Doubt away but I am whether male or female happy to help anyone.  I seem to be approachable and have a non-threatening persona in real life.  Maybe also I could be mistaken for a Muslim or maybe a shop assistant.  Who knows but there it is.

 Well unlike him, I don't label them as stupid.
