What are your thoughts on Halal foods in Australia? Many big brand companies and their products from Vegemite, Bega Cheese to Cadbury Chocolates have the "halal" approved logo on them, you may not have even noticed? My main concern is that there are approximately 350,000 Muslims in Australia out of an approximate population of 22 Million non Muslim Australians and already we have changed what we have done for decades to suit a very small minority.

We are a western democartic society and I am afraid if such a small minority have such a major impact we may see some radical changes in our country that many of us won't like or need.

Many people are boycotting certain companies due to them supporting and showing the Halal approved logo on their products and replacing them with similar products without the Halal approved logo.

What is your opinion on this?

Many companies find it easyer to do this so there product is available to everyone this makes sence to me and for the non halal people it makes no differance.
