Customers have left angry and
borderline racist posts on the Aussie biscuit manufacturer's Facebook page.
Many have claimed the decision to make
such a biscuit was a "disgrace", "disrespectful" and
"un-Australian", according to smartcompany. One customer wrote:
"I was a big fan of the cookies but won't ever buy them again now that
they are Halal. Shocking."
Okay let’s look at the two main characters:
Halal. Halal is
often used in reference to foods, i.e. foods that are permissible for Muslims
to eat or drink under Islamic Shariʻah. The criteria specify both what foods
are allowed, and how the food must be prepared. The foods addressed are mostly
types of meat and animal tissue. In this
case it is the cookie. I think the stink
is that customers are the ones who have to pay for the accreditation. I know that I still eat Cadbury chocolates
and they have been halal for some time.
ANZAC biscuits. Lets face it, these biscuits are not the same
ones that the ANZACs had. Plus the Kiwis
are trying to claim they invented them, just where does this mob get off, next
they will be claiming Pavlova and Pharlap, bribing refs to give them one more
point in football etc…
