I think all would have been fine if someone had not insisted on adding those two strips of bacon to the Extreme Triple Goatinoma Burger. Doh!

(OK. Seriously. They’re kidding right? Really. I mean it. They ARE kidding about the cancer in the food thing, yes? . . .)

“Halal McNuggets a Hit in Detroit
Sales are so good, McDonalds expands the idea other restaurants

Over 150,000 Muslims live in the Detroit/Dearborn area, representing an ethnic and cultural mosaic that is typical of Muslims in America. According to the Arab-American Institute, Dearborn has the highest concentration of ethnic Arabs outside of the Middle East. In some area schools, more than 90% of students are Muslim. It is not surprising, therefore, that Dearborn stores and restaurants have begun to cater to the dietary needs of Muslims. In addition to Muslim-owned businesses, other mainstream businesses such as Kroger supermarket, Big Boy restaurant and Oakwood Hospital are offering halal meats for the Muslim community.

At McDonald’s, Muslim customers were often limited to the salads and desserts. Some Muslims would eat the fries or fish sandwiches, but many worried about possible contamination from cooking oils used for other meat products.”
