Since 2016, school canteens in Barcelona have had to provide religious adaptations to parents who request them. by order of the Education Consortium. This means that Muslim children must not be given pork, and the meat of other animals must be sacrificed according to a religious rite established 1,400 years ago in the deserts of Arabia..
A condition established by the scholars of Islam (not by the Qur'an nor by the Prophet) is that The animal must be alive and conscious at the moment of slaughter.. Animal welfare laws require stunning before slaughter but introduce a religious exception that has become the norm in Catalonia: In 2017, 64.1% of the lambs and calves slaughtered at Mercabarna were already supervised by Muslim clerics who ensure that the process complies. Islamic law. According to the representative of Islam in Catalonia There is no scientific or animal rights debate because «only the animal knows if it suffers.».
Aside from the ethics of slaughtering conscious animals that know they are dying, The problem for canteen companies is that to serve meat halal and another no halal They have to have two suppliers, place two orders and have two separate cooks.. This complicates the logistics, increases the price or reduces the profit. To avoid this, the solution is simple: halal for everyone.
The 12% in Barcelona schools has no menu. halal
A study of the 65 schools in Barcelona (out of 157) that show the school menu on the website reveal that The 12% doesn't have a menu. halal. When the companies of these schools were consulted, the response was that All our meat is religiously certified.. This means that The infidels of Islam are eating meat. halal without even knowing it. Parents at schools such as Orlandai, Montseny or Cervantes must think there's no meat at their school. halal.
Catalan society is so involved in rescuing Muslims that we even see menus. halal with fish and halal without fish because there are some Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan who believe that the fish will cause them spiritual problems.
There are also schools (17%) that have a basic menu (which means «normal»), but This menu corresponds to the halal except for one or two days when they replace the pork with another ingredient. Others, which represent 23%, As there's no pork on the menu, the menu is never the same. halal It's the same as the normal one with the add-on. halal Behind every meat permitted by Islam. What is most striking is that At 30% of schools, it is not clear whether the normal menu contains pork or not. What they do is put, for example, «country-style sausage» on the regular menu but «chicken sausage" halal» to the menu halal. This is how, between one strategy and another, Almost all school canteens in Barcelona serve halal meat to everyone, unless they serve pork. one day a month, two or none.
The basal menu treated as a medical diet
Seen like this, The basal menu is like a variation of the menu. halal: The standard is the halal i One day, two or none – it turns piggy for the infidels of Islam.. It works like the medical menus. The menus for allergies or intolerances are the same as the general menu, with the appropriate substitution. That's why we have gluten-free, egg-free, shellfish-free or nut-free menus, with one or two changes a month. This means that the centres offer between three and seventeen menus.
To make the process simpler, the 23% of Barcelona schools do not offer pork, the 30% does not state what meat they serve, the 13% only lists it as a secondary ingredient, and the 12% has no menu. halal because it's normal. If we assume that those who hide the ingredient don't include pork, we find that 78% of schools may have a menu. halal and no pork for everyone. The rest serve pork once or twice a month, and on the other days, when they have chicken on the basic menu, it's «coincidentally» on the basic menu. halal.
Model questioned in the United States or Canada
In the United States and Canada, various voices have warned of this change in school canteens and other public dining facilities due to the presence of Muslims. In Texas, for example, The trend has spread to all kinds of public eateries.schools, universities, student residences, prisons, hospitals, care homes, etc. In the Canadian province of New Brunswick, parents were surprised to find that All the meat in the school canteen was halal From the 2025–206 academic year. Some parents are organising to demand that their children be given meat slaughtered to animal welfare standards befitting our civilisation.
The reason given by the managers of the New Brunswick canteens It's just that it's more efficient and cheaper to give the same meat to everyone.. Furthermore, they pointed out that the flesh halal It is edible for anyone..
In Catalonia, in 2005 the Generalitat established guidelines for respecting religious beliefs. hospitals i prisons. According to the documents, Menus adapted to each person's beliefs must be provided under Spain's agreements with the religions.. It wouldn't be strange. that for economic reasons all meat served in hospitals or prisons in Catalonia has a religious certificate. Islamic.
In reality, we don't even know whether the meat in the supermarket comes from animals slaughtered for a religious rite or not: for this reason, British MP Andrew Rosindell proposed that all meat for sale should indicate the method of slaughter.. He made this proposal in the context of a parliamentary debate on sacrifice. halal where a Muslim MP went so far as to say that Animal welfare is hatred of religious communities.. If in Catalonia the 40% of the cow and the 50% of the lamb is halal and at Mercarbarna it reached 64% in 2017, it is more than possible that the halal to arrive at any table.
