Hello again after all this time!

Tomorrow another exchange-week will start and I really look forward it! We will flight to Kotka, Finnland.
And of course we have to prepare many things.
One is to research something about different eating philosophies and to post the found information of one of it in this blog.
So here it is:



Mabye you've already seen this symbol. 
It's arabic and means allowed or permitted. 
Halal is an islamic eating philosophie
and includes special manners of cattle owing especially the way how it has to be slaughtered.

There are some conditions for the food to be Halal: 

1. The animals have to eat a natural diet. 

2. They have to be slaughtered seperately from the other animals, to avoid the appearance of stress for them. 

3. They have to be slaughtered by cutting their throat with a very sharp knife, and mostly without narcotic.

4. After that the animals must be hung upside down and all the blood must be arained.

5. That all must be done by a muslim.

But why are the muslims doing that? 

First I have to say, that I just researched that on the internet so I can not guarantee for it, but that's what I found out: 

You are what you eat.

An important statement.
Because if you believe it, you don't always want to become what you eat. 
And if you think, that the attributes of the animals become a part of your soul you don't want to become the 'harmful spiritual effects' of pork.

That leads to another point: Haram

That is the opposite of Halal and means not allowed and not permittet.
The two important things wich are Haram are pork and alcohol. 

So, that's what I found out, and of course it is just a little part of this big theme. 

Bye then, Lisann :)
