I rarely eat at these places but sometimes I like to indulge. If you want to eat Halal chicken that's your choice, I don't judge.
Of course you are judging. And indignantly so.
How is Halal more humane and food safe?
And you don't even know what constitutes "HalaL'. For all we know, Maple Lodge Farms is killing all their chickens humanely using the Halal method and is just paying for the certification.
Besides, you've already been poisoned by eating brown terrorist meat

if you eat Popeyes, Mary Brown’s, Church’s Texas Chicken and Nando’s as they've all conspired to serve it for years! I suppose you won't eat a shawarma either?

What’s the difference between halal chicken and regular chicken?
The difference between halal chicken and non-halal chicken lies in the slaughtering and processing methods,
according to CHFCA.
Halal chicken and all land animals must be slaughtered in compliance with the Islamic law. Animals must be slaughtered in the name of Allah by a Muslim who is of sound mind,
according to CHFCA. The blood must be fully drained from the veins and the animal must be healthy at the time of slaughter.
By contrast, non-halal chicken and meat are not prepared in compliance with Islamic law,
according to CHFCA. There is no specific attention paid to the cutting method or blood drainage process, and there is no religious requirement to avoid cross-contamination with haram substances during handling and processing.
Non-halal chicken may also include additives or ingredients that are not permissible in Islam, such as certain preservatives or flavourings derived from alcohol or pork.
Why is KFC Canada making the switch to halal-certified chicken?
In Ontario, where 6.7 per cent of the population identifies as Muslim,
according to the 2021 Canadian census, the global fast-food chain aims to cater to Canada’s growing Muslim community.
Non-Muslims make up nearly 40 per cent of Canada’s market for halal foods,
according to the Halal Monitoring Authority.
Many of KFC’s competitors, including Popeyes, Mary Brown’s, Church’s Texas Chicken and Nando’s, have provided halal options on their menus prior to last month’s announcement from KFC Canada’s corporate office.
Halal meat is considered by some to be healthier than other meat alternatives, because they are free of hormones, GMOs and other additives. However, some humanitarians have raised concerns about the method used in Islamic law for slaughtering animals, which entails the slitting of the animal’s throat while it is still conscious.
