This conversation seems to have gone to meat. So be it. What I have gleaned is that Halal is very close to Kosher. The ritual Kosher slaughter has been outlawed by a couple of countries. I saw a video of it and indeed the throat is cut, the animal is bound feet together and has to lay there and bleed to death. And they bring their kids to watch. How's that sound for a school field trip ? It has been said that if you knew what is i hot dogs you would never eat them, and if you ever stood i a slaughterhouse you might well become a vegan. Or your sister. Seriously, a kid in my chosen family worked for Cargill. He was well educated but they had this policy that if you get an office you have to be able to do every job there. He is pretty good at descriptions. It is pretty fucking gross, no matter where it is. You want to blame the Jews go ahead, because their book does describe a particularly inhumane method, but it is probably not unique to them. No matter the method of death, the whole process is nasty. They got intestines ripped open and feces flying all over the place. Then the carcasses are washed off with a bleach solution with hoses. Now this is why you cook ground meat. When you have a steak or other type of slab of meat and you cook it at least on the outside, you have generally killed all the E. coli. But when the meat is ground the outside could be on the inside. Better meat places grind their own. I used to grind my own but lost one of the blades for the grinder. But all the people who work in that environment change clothes after work and probably shower as well. There is blood and shit (literally) flying all over the place, and of course the company wants the most production so there is no time to care if you want to keep your job. The pragmatic side of me wants to know what is wrong with the blood. There are dishes that include the blood, why are Semites afraid of it ? I guess blood would make the meat spoil faster, but that does not form any basis for religious law, unless they are just making shit up. I have bought beef tenderloins and the ones that are the best are the ones soaking in blood. They make a bunch of money on that as well because that blood is mostly water and water is eight pounds per gallon. The last one I bought was like $18 a pound I think. It was from a good meat shop and was not full of blood. But if they had added one pint of water to it they would have sold me a pint of water for $18. But getting the blood out ? Why ? Did some Wise Man connect the blood with some disease ? Well, it is too late to ask them and if you ask an MD they will probably go "Duh, what now ?". T^T
