The Daily Mail is rightly campaigning about cloned meat. However, the spread of halal meat to me is more worrying. That muslims should have access to this is within the realms of debate - that this be inflicted on the unwary is scandalous. I have rung a number of pizzerias and kebab shops - many not muslim owned - which admit to serving halal. Perhaps we should now insist on all meat being labelled in supermarkets as to methods of slaughter. After all - they follow a similar 'animal rights principle' where 'eggs from caged hens' are concerned; tuna is 'net caught'; whether fish and seafood come from 'sustainable sources' inter al.
