Care for Halal...

what is halal?????

Halal does not only concern food like pork free and alcohol free. It involves other areas and issues such as the process of making the food from where you get the material to where you serve it.

It is really important to make sure that we consume only halal food because what we eat will determine what we are. Eating halal food means that we eat clean, healthy and safe food for our body.
For instance, halal way emphasis heavily on slaughtering the animal the correct way to minimize the pain and suffering of the animal slaughtered. This is done out of respect for the living animal.
It also will make sure that all the blood from the animal will flow out when slaughtered to ensure the animal is clean and safe to consume. It is not allowable to consume animal that have not been slaughtered properly because the blood remaining in the animal is not clean to be consume.

So what is Halal(this is taken from an article):
All other things except:

• swine/pork and its by-products
• animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering
• animals not slaughtered in the name of Allah
• Alcohol and all forms of intoxicating and hazardous drinks
• Carnivorous animals, birds of prey and land animals without external ears
• pests
• Animals forbidden to be killed in Islam
• Animals considered repulsive
• Animals that live on both land and water
• Blood and its by-product
• food that contain any of the above product
• Any biotech animals/plants from pig or dog
• Plants and products that is poisonous, dangerous to health and faece

In conclusion, regardless whether you are a muslim or not, you should be an enlightened consumers and opt for a halal food instead because of the benefits.
