Whilst reading up on this, and from which I found out that some Muslims accept the use of alcohol outside the body, I came across this.

'According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved.'

Gosh, how many American members have we on Accy Web?

I hope none of them are merry on moon-shine, and are diddling their cousins.

Don't think Walkers will alter their process either, but maybe they will just add a comment on their packaging if there is enough huwha about this.

Surely every other crisp manufacturers use the same type of process.?

About what you said regarding them buying this stuff at the supermarkets i totally agree.
I work at tesco and they always buy crisps etc.. but a lot of muslims also buy alcohol and i know quite a few who drink it,it sounds like double standards to me IMHO.

Depending on the fermentation process, fermentation temperature, time and type of culture used, the alcohol content of Kefir will vary from 0.06 % (Marshall 1984), up to a maximum of 3% alcohol. The average alcohol content in home brewing is around 0.5% with a loose lid and 1% in an airtight jar. Shaking the fermentation container during the fermentation time also results in higher alcohol content.

I didn't know this when I got you brewing it .... sorry

That's the end of that then. Never mind.

No, it isn't double standards. It's people being individuals. You can't lump all Muslims as the same, let alone all Asians or even all people with the same colouring. Some will be sincere about following their religion, some may be less strict. It's not hypocricy, it's individuality. Just because some people, who happen to be the same race or physical appearance as devout Muslims, do not act like devout Muslims that doesn't mean that all people of that race are the same. They may not even BE the same race or same creed. I knew a lad who looked like your average Pakistani Muslim but he was actually a CofE vicar's son.

Does that make sense?

Yes it does make sense.
I didn't mean to offend you i was just offering my point of view.
It just seems like muslims are quick to denounce walkers because they put a tiny ampount of alcohol in crisps but don't seem to mind the ones that drink.

Loz · 23-02-2008, 03:26

sorry i meant amount!

Nothing surprises me any more, every time you pick up a paper or put the telly on there is some act of stupidity being reported. As for this latest load of ****, well its our country, and if there is something that does not gel with other religious denominations or other races then tough, its like the old cherry, if there's something on TV that offends there is always the off button, same with other things, if theres something in food stuffs that is agains religious beliefs, then quite simply don't buy it, end off

Just chucked a packet of Walkers 'Sensations' Thai Sweet Chilli flavour (due to age). They had listed 24 ingredients. Sure there could be a lot more in the processing of food. For instance, most foods use water during processing I would think, would they, therefore, enter chlorine .. just a silly example, but could go on and on I suppose.

Does have a logo on the packet suggesting 'Divine with Wine' whoops, maybe this should be banned too ! Course only a suggestion, and nobody needs to pick up on this, but could be inferred Walkers are encouraging the intake of alcohol, blah, blah.

Thanks Willow for your usual sensible insights.

Just have to be more careful when you around don't I ?
Only put that in brackets because didn't want our members thinking had chucked 'em because of lack of ingredients info'.

Well, maybe am too old for them .. thought they were bl**dy horrible.
