Remember The Word, "HALAL"
Costco's Halal Muslim Meat In Supermarkets (Craigslist post)
Passing this along for your knowledge and consideration:"The other day I wrote about Costco stocking their meat counters with “Halal” meat."
So yesterday I shopped for groceries at my local Walmart. As usual, I bought a bag of frozen chicken breasts, but this time I checked to make sure the meat was not labeled “Halal”. Here’s why.
Halal is the Islamic term that basically means the meat is lawful to eat for a devout Muslim. What makes it lawful or acceptable is that the meat has been processed in a very specific way. Unlike kosher food, where the physical processing of the meat is the focus, for Islam it is the spiritual component that makes the meat lawful.
For lawful (halal) meat in Islam, the animal must be killed while the butcher faces Mecca , and either the butcher cries “Allah Akbar” or a tape plays the words over a loud speaker.
Ann Barnhardt, is a cattle commodities broker, has more about “Halal."
NEVER buy meat that is marked as “Halal”.I am in the cattle business, and believe me when I tell you that Halal kill plants are CONSTANTLY being cited and shut down by the USDA for horrific, infractions. Most of these plants are in Michigan and upstate New York .
One of the things that halal kill plants are notorious for is putting already-dead animals in the human consumption line. They will go pick up a dead cow off of a farm or ranch and instead of putting it in their rendering tank where the resulting “tankage” is worth pennies on the dollar as pet food or industrial products, they will shackle the dead animal on the normal kill line and process it as human food which is the highest-dollar product.Since Islam teaches taqiyyah (religious dissimulation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissimulation> ,[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya#cite_note-Momen-0> is a practice emphasized in Shi'a Islam <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi%27a_Islam> whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Muslims> , or compulsion.[2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya#cite_note-1> This means a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are under those risks) and no regard for one’s neighbor, this kind of sickening behavior is standard.
Halal kill plants are also notorious for general citations for filth and uncleanliness. I have toured normal cattle slaughter plants, and guys, you could eat off of the floor.
Everything is white and men walk around with water hoses and steam guns constantly keeping everything in a state of spotlessness.
Halal plants are filthy. A lot of Halal meat is also labeled as “organic”.
Again, don’t be fooled into thinking that “halal” means “better”. It isn’t. I would never, ever knowingly eat halal meat purely from a food safety perspective.One of many articles about “Halal” meats:Neighbors Complain Of Unsanitary Condition At ‘Super Halal Meat’ In Queens
NEW YORK (CBS 2) — Unsanitary conditions at a Queens grocery store <http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/05/26/columbia-study-finds-groceries-cheaper-in-nyc/> have neighbors and a state senator crying foul. The store has been cited, but neighbors hope some graphic photos will finally force it to come clean.
Employees at Super Halal Meat in Bellerose said they run a clean ship.
“We have everything is good. You check over there, the refrigerator, everything there is good,” manager Sharafat Dulal told CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez.
But some pictures taken by neighbors paint a much different picture — uncovered meat being delivered in the back of an unrefrigerated pick-up truck, carcasses piled into a shopping cart.
Neighbor Rich Eichler said such practices bring nasty problems to his street.
“Disgusting. Rotten meat. It was not nice,” he said. “I’ve seen rats and I’ve seen other things here.” <http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/09/21/transit-workers-launch-campaign-to-fight-rats-on-the-rails/>
The Department of Agriculture and Markets said Super Halal, open only a year, was fined for critical deficiencies in July, August and September of this year.
Inspectors found food was not refrigerated at the proper temperature and flies were present near meat processing. New York Sen. Tony Avella is trying to shut the place down.
“You think about the people that are going in there, buying these goods, especially the meat and poultry, thinking that the owners taking care of this meat and poultry. Who knows how many people may have gotten sick,” Avella said.
“The store just don’t belong here in a residential neighborhood,” Eichler said.
A woman who lives one house away from the grocery said she can’t take the rats and garbage so she’s selling her house, but many customers are remaining loyal.
“I don’t see anything problem. I buy,” said one customer.
The Department of Agriculture and Markets will inspect the grocery store again in mid-October. If critical violations are found again, a hearing will be held to revoke their license.
Super Halal Meat owes about $25,000 in fines for health and building code violations.
The scapegoat strategy
By Charles Krauthammer,
What do you do if you can’t run on your record — on 9 percent unemployment, stagnant growth and ruinous deficits
as far as the eye can see? How to run when you are asked whether Americans are better
off than they were four years ago and you are compelled to answer no?
Play the outsider. Declare yourself the underdog. Denounce
Washington as if the electorate hasn’t noticed that you’ve been in charge of it
for nearly three years.
But above all: Find villains.
President Obama first tried finding excuses, blaming America’s
dismal condition on Japanese supply-chain interruptions, the Arab Spring,
European debt and various acts of God.
Didn’t work. Sounds plaintive, defensive. Lacks fight, which is what
Obama’s base lusts for above all.
Hence Obama’s new strategy: Don’t whine, blame. Attack. Indict. Accuse.
Who? The rich — and their Republican protectors — for wrecking America.
In Obama’s telling, it’s the refusal of the rich to “pay their fair share”
that jeopardizes Medicare. If millionaires don’t pony up, schools will crumble.
Oil-drilling tax breaks are costing teachers their jobs. Corporate loopholes
will gut medical research.
It’s crude. It’s Manichaean. And the left loves it. As a matter of math and
logic, however, it’s ridiculous. Obama’s most coveted tax hike — an extra 3 to
4.6 percent for millionaires and billionaires (weirdly defined as individuals
making more than $200,000) — would have reduced last year’s deficit (at the very
most) from $1.29 trillion to $1.21 trillion. Nearly a rounding error. The
oil-drilling breaks cover less than half a day’s federal spending. You could
collect Obama’s favorite tax loophole — depreciation for
corporate jets — for 100 years and it wouldn’t cover one month of Medicare,
whose insolvency is a function of increased longevity, expensive new technology
and wasteful defensive medicine caused by an insane malpractice system.
After three years, Obama’s self-proclaimed transformative social policies
have yielded a desperately weak economy. What to do? Take the low road:
Plutocrats are bleeding the country, and I shall rescue you from them.
Problem is, this kind of populist demagoguery is more than intellectually
dishonest. It’s dangerous. Obama is opening a Pandora’s box. Popular resentment,
easily stoked, is less easily controlled, especially when the basest of
instincts are granted legitimacy by the nation’s leader.
Exhibit A. On Tuesday, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed punitive
legislation over China’s currency. If not stopped by House Speaker John Boehner,
it might have led to a trade war — a 21st-century Smoot-Hawley. Obama knows
this. He has shown no appetite for a reckless tariff war. But he set the tone. Once
you start hunting for villains, they can be found anywhere, particularly if they
are conveniently foreign.
Exhibit B. Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin rails against Bank of
America for announcing a $5-a-month debit card fee. Obama echoes the opprobrium
with fine denunciations of banks and their hidden fees
— except that this $5 fee is not hidden. It’s perfectly transparent.
Yet here is a leading Democratic senator advocating a run on a major (and
troubled) bank — after two presidents and two Congresses sunk billions of
taxpayer dollars to save failing banks. Not because they were deserving or
virtuous but because they are necessary. Without banks, there is no lending.
Without lending, there is no business. Without business, there are no
jobs.
Exhibit C. To the villainy-of-the-rich theme emanating from Washington, a
child is born: Occupy Wall Street. Starbucks-sipping, Levi’s-clad, iPhone-clutching
protesters denounce corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs,
corporate titan, billionaire eight times over.
These indignant indolents saddled with their $50,000 student loans and
English degrees have decided that their lack of gainful employment is rooted in
the malice of the millionaires on whose homes they are now marching — to the
applause of Democrats suffering acute Tea Party envy and now salivating at the
energy these big-government anarchists will presumably give their cause.
Except that the real Tea Party actually had a program — less government,
less regulation, less taxation, less debt. What’s the Occupy Wall Street
program? Eat the rich.
And then what? Haven’t gotten that far.
No postprandial plans. But no matter. After all, this is not about programs
or policies. This is about scapegoating, a failed administration trying to save
itself by blaming our troubles — and its failures — on class enemies, turning
general discontent into rage against a malign few.
From the Senate to the streets, it’s working. Obama is too intelligent not
to know what he started. But so long as it gives him a shot at reelection, he
shows no sign of caring.
