Well, some have restrictions against meat of all kinds, or of mixing certain things in certain ways, akin to Kosher law. All such rules being control freaks with OCD making up crap to force others to live as they wish, of course. > Your point is however well taken.

Yeah, that struck me after I sent off my email. Didn't correct myself, though, since I have too little knowledge of Islam to be usefully informative :=( > All such rules being control freaks with OCD making up crap to force > others to live as they wish, of course. Oh of course *lol* Unlike the rest of us, of course, who never try to convince anyone to do as we do! ;=) > Yes, although they are often absurdly extreme in their behavior, too, such > as not moving for fear of crushing invisible beings, (microbes), etc. Well, I can't say I am familiar with Jainism, but I have a high regard for their philosophy of ahimsa, even if I would myself find the practice (at least of the ultra-devout, as you describe) a bit of a muchness. I am myself a total non-believer. That does not, however, mean that I think that corporations should not be respectful of their customers and should therefore be exempted from being honest about ingredients which would offend religious dietary laws. It is the deception which is the problem. As a vegetarian and pacifist who thinks all life should be respected equally, I also deplore such deception. I won't go to hell for eating one of Micky D's beefy fries, but I won't, knowing that they are 'beefy', go to the hell of Micky D's either ;=) > The doctors are paid well by the pharmaceutical companies to diagnose > things in certain ways so the flow of pills continues, too.

Of course, you don't mean a *cure* or *preventive*, because that would generate less cash than 'treatment'. . . And a happy Monday morning to you too ;=) We have a storm outside and I suspect the barometric pressure is affecting my mood.
