2 for $2.50 is the thing now at McDonalds, but they roll out different poo poo in different areas so maybe someone is still rocking a $1 menu instead of a prorated $1.25.

But yeah you can go all fancy on your 20-something date and get a McFlurry, maybe a McCafe, and a 20 piece nugget to share - the sauce gently soaking into your hipster handlebar mustache you loving Millennial go get a job.

Because Disney is smart, and knows that no matter who you like to gently caress, you have money. I bet Disney execs see poo poo like the bakery who refused to make a gay wedding cake (and leaked the info of the customers, etc) and just shake their heads and use $500 to light their cigars as they wonder how loving stupid people have to be to actively push money away.

Probably. But also because they are a California company run by Hollywood elites.

Speaking of Dumb McDonald's moves, in Canada, despite their restaurants being actually really good for nut allergies, they threw it out the window by adding a nut thing to thier mcFlurry's. What this means is that, whoops, now they are losing the approx 5 million Canadians with nut allergies, for some people who want nuts in their mcFlurries? In WINTER.

I see a similar thing in how the small percentage that eats kosher forces everyone to eat kosher. Lots of packages foods are labeled kosher for no particular reason.

Yes, but you want stuff labeled as kosher because, depending on the product it's handled more carefully.

Meat is a big thing. Meat packers have kosher or hala days and production slows down significantly to account for the extra steps. Slower processing means fewer mistakes and less contamination. It also increases the price, but perhaps that should be the price for all meat that's handled correctly.

Lots of foods are inherently kosher but having a rabbi there just to make sure of it, without actually doing anything different in the production line, allows them to have that U or K on the packaging. This allows people who do care about keeping kosher to be sure they are keeping kosher, without incurring additional cost or changes to anything so it shouldn't matter at all to Gentiles and why would you even bother caring

You sure about that? I used to work in a beef abattoir that does exclusively halal and as far as I could tell the only real difference was the method of slaughter, and even then it was no slower than a bolt through the head.

BTW, before anyone claims that halal is brutal and cruel, modern methods involve electrically stunning the animal so it doesn't feel pain. Sure, in the past and in less developed parts of the world it's cruel, but it's not really any worse than a lot of other ways of slaughtering livestock

They would have removed lard anyway, they took it out at a time when fat and cholesterol and lard were all over the papers as majorly publicized health issues and swapping away from lard was incentivized by lard having bad press

I was talking to a slaughterhouse owner and he told me that the only difference between halal and non - halal killing was the paperwork for the certification.

Okay, maybe it was just kosher meats. I remember reading about the different meat processing days in Fast Food Nation.

Granted that book is over a decade old. Maybe they've figured out a way to poo poo out meat at unsafe levels on ethnic food days as well.

When the lovely tabloid rags started complaining about people eating halal meat without it being advertised as halal I looked into what halal actually was. Seems to me that it's actually a method designed to reduce suffering. Using an extremely sharp blade makes a wound that bleeds out quickly, and if it's anything like cutting yourself with a really, really sharp knife you don't even notice it until you've gotten blood all over the drat place. Killing things is never going to be nice, but properly done halal slaughter seems like it's pretty low on the totem pole of horrible ways to kill things.

It mostly depends on how you're doing the slaughtering prior to the certification. A lot of places practices already fall pretty much in line with kosher and halal practice they just need the right person to say they do, many place don't and so it's more time consuming for them to meet those standards and that's where things like having a day where you just do kosher comes into play.

Also it should be noted that there's an intense amount of Jew drama around kosher certifications. Because of the nature of Judaism as a religion that allows and accepts constant critique of it's interpretation by it's members there's a ton of shade throwing about who is for realsies kosher and who's a pretender to the hot dog throne. Also since it's such a niche thing a ton of places just lie about it or make up certification boards that don't exist, because many real legit certification boards are just like one Rabbi who drives around to factories and it's all word of mouth type stuff.

If you're going to die by eating a hamburger in a restaurant because of the tiny slivers of almond in the tiny Skor bits in the McFlurry machine, you should probably just lie down and wait for death anyway.
