#1 This sounds frankly like a very short-eighted plan for disaster, I remember that one of the main vectors of Bird Flu was the presence of both fowl and swine on the same farm.

Now they plan to feed swine to fowl (NOT their natural foodstuff either) and I see disaster here.

Have to remember to NOT eat ANY fowl from britian.

#2 Apartheid! Keep the pork and poultry separate!

#3 BS! Muslims can eat pork if they have no alternative. As with any religion - especially the bona fide ones (ie: not islam) - doctrine includes both imperatives and permissives, and different criterion for applying same. That is one reason why Muslims support 4 different schools (madhabs) of sharia.

Reminder: accomodation of minority religions in Muslim majority states, is negligible or nil. A Muslim is all take and no give.

#4 RJ, I think you better be more worried about the chicks from Tyson, et. al.

#5 btw, RJ, I believe the pig-chicken connection is that the free range chickens ate the porkers' poop. This is just the ground up remnants of the slaughterhouse product.

#6 IIRC Mad Cow disease came from using ground up sheep in the bovine feed. Considering the transmission record of disease from swine to human, this could simply be another avenue for interesting times. These are the same people [EU] so energetically upset about genetically altered grain.

#7 I thought it was ground up cow in the cow feed. As long as it's clean and not the same species, there shouldn't be a problem.

#8 EU threatens Muslim food supply

I thought this was going to be about welfare cuts.

#9 Free range chickens eat worms, bugs and feces. Just to put this in perspective.

Free range chickens eat whatever they can find.

#13 While I don't give a flying Obama pig about muzzie feelings, feeding other ground up animals has been bad jou-jou in the past. Mad cow spread because of tainted cow brains they fed to other cows. I think I will avoid chicken from the EU for now.

#15 Past problems in Europe were largely because the Europeans had high energy costs (taxes) and tended to skimp on the cooking in the rendering plants. Personally, I'd prefer to eat the scrapple rather than feed it to the chickens, but that's just me.

#16 Maybe this is just a polite way to say go back home.
