Post 'em here. All those disappointing meals you thought were healthy but are really high calorie

Halal requires that the animal be slaughtered by slitting the jugular while the animal is still conscious. It is not the quickest and most pain free of deaths. This is why people get upset about it.

This. Although I find it strange that kosher meat has the same slaughtering method, but no one seems to get up in arms about it.

My Muslim and Jewish friends always eat vegetarian when eating out, unless they are at a place they really trust. There's more to halal/kosher than just the slaughtering method, and how many big chains are really going to be that careful to follow the rules?

Pesto. My beloved pesto. It is quite oily so I'm experimenting with it.

The ones that annoy me the most are ones that claim to be a 'healthy option' but are not. A tuna and sweetcorn sandwich from the uni cafe has fewer calories and less sodium and sugar than the 'light options' tuna and sweetcorn sandwich.

Still not worked out the justification for making that one look more healthy when it has higher levels of everything except nutrients.
