KFC is only serving Halal chicken in their Ontario restaurants

I'm saying when you specifically source your meat from a Halal butcher, you are specifically saying "we support this group but not that group". You serve meat that has no religious affiliation, your not showing support for one religious group over another.
Why do you always reply in this thread with such snark? We can't just disagree without the snarky remarks? As far as I know I haven't really talked to you on these forums before and I haven't posted anything in this thread with snark or in bad faith.
Because mocking and parody is nicer than calling someone a bigot. I didn't mean it to be snarky.
To answer your original question as to what happens when a restaurant changes their food supplier, my answer is if you don't like it... go elsewhere.
When a restaurant that I used to like made Sysco Foods their primary supplier instead of sticking with their original menu that was prepared from scratch, I jsut stopped going.
So to be clear you are mocking me because I am a bigot? A bigot defined by you because I don't have the same viewpoint as you on not wanting to eat Halal foods.
I'll say people like you are the reason why discourse is so toxic most places online.
Maple Lodge Farms sells both Halal and "normal" chicken. They also sell organic, air chilled, Prime and various other grades and white label brands. As do most commercial and restaurant food supply companies. Going Halal is not much different than taking a company into ISO certification and paying for the certification.
And no, supporting a Halal butcher is no different than supporting a Christian butcher in terms of it being an active NEGATIVE implication against the other. Unless YOU want it to be. Which seems to be the sentiment here of guys like Mr. Douglas who hopes Chick Fila (a notoriously evangelical American Christian company) uses this Halal thing to take advantage of fomenting bigotry. Which they are too smart, and too tolerant to do. They practice what they preach by closing on Sundays etc.
You guys are reading wayyyy too much into this and trying too hard to excuse what is essentially bigotry.
It's completely different, there no religious affiliation. Stop trying to compare apples to oranges.

He thinks because has no issues with halal meat, nobody else on the planet should.
Well said ebony booty lover.
That’s pretty woke/maga as you can get.
Not you but who you are referring to.
You should be more concerned about the fact that KFC is grossly unethical in so many ways as opposed to the serving of halal chicken which is still the same chickens that they kept in inhumane conditions.
Irony, snarkyness, sarcasm, satire are not for for everyone,
Not for the thin skinned.
And yes better than insulting someone outright.
KFC is not kosher due to the mixing of meat with milk and will never be kosher. . Halal requires a prayer to be done before each slaughter while a general blessing must be done once for the meat to be Kosher. The economics of religion should not be confused with the religion of economics for the greater peculiarity.
I like the whole "say a prayer before killing a living thing" that's some fucked up shit, religions are such psychotic BS. Kill something that their respective "invisible man in the sky" created, wild, no wonder humanity is so barbaric.
No need to @ me, I won't give a shit.

This is a non-issue. If you don't like Halal chicken, don't eat at KFC. You have the right to boycott them.
If you like Halal chicken, eat at KFC. You have the right to support them. The market will sort out.

As a senior that has trouble chewing tough meat including some chicken, I started buying Halal skinless chicken breasts and could not believe how much tender they were and that is the only chicken I buy. Sadly, the only grocery store in my Leaside area that sells it is Metro. I am Canadian born of Ukrainian decent so there is no religion or politics in my choosing Halal. The cost is similar and it the best tasting and most tender chicken whether I grill or bake it. Try it, you will like it.
No thanks. Again, zero interest in eating anything with religious attachment to it.
I'm ok with public restaurants offering a Halal option in order to broaden their market base. What I am not ok with is making that the only option available to everyone. Now that being said I guess that could pose a problem since Halal meat has to be handled differently. For instance they cannot use the same fryers or ovens etc.
This is not political its about respecting the customer. For instance if I go into a Middle Eastern restaurant to order a shawarma it is specifically made clear to me (via a sign or on their menu board) that the meat is Halal. All I'm asking is that the KFC's and Popeye's restaurants do the same.
They do post their certificates on the wall. Always have. How else would religiously observant people know?
