Halal or not, food hygiene comes first!

Commenting on "Halal or not, food hygiene comes first!"


This is a post not restricted to followers of any specific religious belief. I may be ignorant, but I believe that if God is truly a living god, it will not just tell His creation specifically via some prophets not to consume Halal food, pork, cow, etc, but also not to smoke, take hard drugs, drive like idiots on the roads killing innocent people - the evils of modern time.

Food hygiene of yesterday was not a discussion topic, and therefore "rules" were stipulated and must be followed. Now, we understand how food hygiene can affect our health and general wellbeing. However, even knowing food hygiene and strict regulations on food handling and Food Acts, food sellers and consumers just ignore them and take risks in the name of convenience and enjoyment.

The restaurant food may be Halal, but the food handler can conteminate the food in more ways than you can imagine.
