Ham Sandwiches And Sausage Rolls May Be Banned From Office Kitchens For Being ‘Offensive’
Yahoo ^ | October 5, 2015 | Andy Wells

Kitchens that are shared between office workers may soon be banned from storing pork products like sausage rolls over fears that they are “offensive”.

New guidelines proposed by interfaith group CoExist House say that employers should consider worker’s religions before allowing ham sandwiches placed in the fridge alongside other products.

The group also suggests that alcohol should not be served at corporate events in case it upsets members of certain faiths.

This article references Britain, not the USA, but happened to show up at the Yahoo news site. I doubt the idea will go over very much better with your average Bacon Butty and Banger eating Brit than it would here.

Lol. Yup. Fun to gripe, though. :)

And the point is that everyone has a complaint and if we accommodated everyone, they'd have to shut down the office kitchen. This rule extrapolates to the city, state, and nation.

Vegans, Muslims, plant lovers (after all plants are alive too — hug a tree!), people who hate Italian food, people who hate Sushi, too much salt, too much fat, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

So a business will have to ban pork to satisfy religious observers, but the same businesses that have religious observers are force to accept abortions.

Another of the “viral email” series: MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN (MENU)… EXPLAINS WHY

Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why…

“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that’s where they chose to immigrate.“They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec.“They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.

“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims
(whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).

“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.

“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it’s not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.

“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain. The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.

“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah.

“If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.

“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?”

“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”

Yes, I know it’s the UK. They’re big appeasers of Islam. Neville Chamberlain redux.

I wish I could guarantee that it can’t happen here in the USA.

No. I would start eating bacon daily if I encountered a silly demand like this. Free men do not bow down to unreasonable orders. Intelligent people learned that long ago, and the slow learners should have learned that over the past six and a half terrible years under the thug from Chicago/Hawaii/Indonesia.

yea, I’m Southern Baptist. That’s why I use the /s Sarcasm tag. We are always accused of imposing our view points on others.
