This just supplements a diet and lifestyle where they put on about 10,000 calories a day and part of this comprises of Walkers multipacks crisps, Snickers, Battenburg cakes and rice pudding with big bottles of Coke. Sadly, people are too stupid and incognisant of their physical ill health to change. As always, the rest of us see the price of our groceries go up when the government decides to levy a food tax.
Smokers and alcoholics pay extra tax on their addictions to pay for extra healthcare, drug addicts would as well if they were legal, have you seen how much tax money has been raised in the States through weed?Steve Hunt wrote:Agreed. But, as with smokers, alcoholics & drug addicts, I don't see why these people who choose to live like that should have more NHS/Tax Payer money spent on them than the rest of us who try to lead vaguely healthy lives.Royal24s wrote: McDonalds are there to make money by selling food and I expect fat people buy a lot of it.
People should be able to decide what they eat without interference from the government
It is all about personal responsibility. If you choose to live your life in an irresponsible manner, why should the state pick up the bill?

I have never been to a Subway since they announced that all their meat is halal slaughtered.
I'm no animal activist (far from it), but halal slaughter seems to me to be utterly cruel & inhumane.

If you're really worried about animal welfare stop eating them, anything else is hypocrisy.Steve Hunt wrote:It's quicker than slitting a throat, warmwarmleatherette wrote:Yeah a bolt through the head is a much nicer way to die...Steve Hunt wrote:Something that I find utterly bewildering.theleader82 wrote: McDonalds has been struggling for a number of years as subway has grown rapidly in the U.K. And Europe.

Go and look at "any" slaughterhouse practices, there's no difference as far as the animals are concerned, which is why I dont, I just don't pretend I care, I don't.Steve Hunt wrote:warmleatherette wrote:If you're really worried about animal welfare stop eating them, anything else is hypocrisy.Steve Hunt wrote:It's quicker than slitting a throat, warmwarmleatherette wrote:Yeah a bolt through the head is a much nicer way to die...Steve Hunt wrote:Something that I find utterly bewildering.theleader82 wrote: McDonalds has been struggling for a number of years as subway has grown rapidly in the U.K. And Europe.

I stated earlier that I'm not THAT worried, warm. Just think that animals slaughtered for meat should be killed as humanely as possible.
Go on YouTube & check out some of the practices filmed in halal slaughterhouses. I'm pretty sure you will see my point of view afterwards, mate.

The RSPCA disagree with you, as do I:

You're making the mistake of thinking "animal welfare" only counts for the last few seconds of its life, the whole meat industry is barbaric and cruel, making a stand against halal slaughter is pretty insignificant in the scheme of thing but like I said, I just don't care, it's food.Steve Hunt wrote:Fair enough, warm.warmleatherette wrote: Go and look at "any" slaughterhouse practices, there's no difference as far as the animals are concerned, which is why I dont, I just don't pretend I care, I don't.
You clearly won't take my word for it. But I'm not a lone voice.
The RSPCA also consider it inhumane, concluding that:
- The level of restraint of conscious animals required for slaughter without pre-stunning was far greater than for conventional slaughter.
- A large cut made across the neck of a conscious animal would “result in very significant pain and distress” before the animal loses consciousness (around 5 to 7 seconds for sheep, 22 to 40 seconds for adult cattle).
- “Slaughter without pre-stunning is unacceptable and that the Government should repeal the current exemption”. Until then any animal not stunned before slaughter should receive an immediate post-cut stun.

I'm not arguing with you, warm.
