TOT: extract from my letter to my MP

Apparently Doncaster Royal Infirmary are revamping their catering arrangements, and as I understand it they intend to invite the Subway chain to operate in hospital premises. To do so would be a disgrace to the NHS, because Subway only sell Halal food. This means that the animals slaughtered to provide meat are killed in a cruel way, rather than humanely. This would normally be illegal but there is an exemption for Muslim and Jewish slaughterhouses. It?s wrong for the NHS to encourage animal cruelty in this way. Furthermore, Halal means that Subway do not provide ham or bacon products. I don?t see why patients and visitors should have to eat food from animals that have been made to suffer, or why we shouldn?t be allowed pork products, just to satisfy a small minority of consumers. I hope you will look into this and if necessary bring influence to bear. I feel this proposal is an affront to the spirit of humanitarianism which gave us our wonderful NHS in the first place. Bill

Is there a market opportunity for stitching up the dead animals throats?

That's odd because I'm not a racist.

I'd be more concerned that Subway's product is not compatible with any orga nisation which includes the word 'Health' in its title.

It's a standard meaningless term of abuse used by the left to denigrate anyone with a different view point. I's the same lack of reasoning and vocabulary as calling TNP an idiot, which he certainly isn't. I've yet to see a reasoned argument defining the term racism and justifying why it is not a good thing.
