Fancy yuppie grocery store Whole Foods is known mostly for being a good place to spend eight dollars on a tomato that was planted in the ground without chemicals, sung to, and watered with organic unicorn juice on a farm with "ethical" work conditions or whatever.
I'll confess, I can't quite see how you would promote a line of food for Ramadan. "Here are some great items you can't eat now! Hungry? Mouth watering? Well, TOUGH, you gotta wait until it's dark!"
There's also a certain small but vocal group that may raise hell when they find out that many products in their favorite market are "kosher" for the Jews, too.
If only there was a national chain alternative to whole foods that was not evil... well, that is fuckin impossible, even the local giant farmers mkt in ATL is somewhat cultish. It is gonna be really hard to raise goats and lobsters on my eighth of an acre hovel. Sigh...
Yeshiva bucher, or yeshiva butcher. Either way, it's funny.
I can't see the fundies eating locusts and wild honey.
What the halal is the problem?
Conservatives pissed off at poseur hipsters selling overpriced mass market halal groceries to raise money for conservative causes.
Does it make more sense now?
Try getting <i>into</i> Zabars for the High Holidays.

(a) halal lamb gets my salivary glands going just thinking about it (b) ok, nevermind, I&#039;m sticking with drool in this comment
First they came for the halal lamb and I said nothing. Then they came for the kosher dills...
And then the teabaggers lost their fucking minds when they realized tacos are fucking messican food.

&quot;Now Sharia free! &quot;
That would be some awesome culture jamming...put up little official looking signs/stickers around the store.
