      If they’re eating halal for reasons they dont seek to change (religious or otherwise) it can be extremely difficult to “cook at home” because you need to secure halal food sources, which if there aren’t even any restaurants with halal food, it may be extremely difficult to secure halal ingredients

        Fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes like rice, wheat, beans, and lentils … all default halal, no?

          I have no idea. Wikipedia says

          Made, produced, manufactured, processed, and stored using machinery, equipment, and/or utensils that have been cleaned according to Islamic law (shariah).

          i don’t know enough about Islamic law to say whether or not are default halal. They could be. I dunno!

        If I got my dream job and it required me to be a pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan: my diet would change immediately.

        I get liking meat but damn.

          If your job asked you to eat dog would you do it?

          Because thas what your asking.

          Halal isn’t a preference, its a standard for how meat is killed and prepared all the way to your food to your plate.

            I think you got the post you’re replying to completely backwards.

            They’re saying in that man’s shoes, they’d adopt a diet like pescetarianism or become vegan, which would allow them to practice halal even without needing dedicated halal meat sources.

            That’s a very poor strawman analogy.

            A better analogy is, if your dream job said you could no longer eat steak or chicken, would you do it? If your dream job required you to eat a vegan or vegetarian diet, would you?

            OP wasn’t suggesting that the person eat non-halal meat, they were suggesting they just don’t eat meat.

                The privilege of being vegetarian or vegan would probably increase the health of our society quite a bit, as well as our environment if everyone adopted that standard.

                Either way: if I’m getting my dream job out of it I’ll go full vegan gluten free hard mode yo.
