Integration: food’s way

In France, the market of halal meat is growing particularly fast. Recently the Quick fast food restaurant – a French take on Mc Donald’s – changed its policy to exclusively serving halal meat in eight of its national branches. In one of the chosen cities of Roubaix, northern France, the local mayor René Vandierendonck has spoken up against the move, describing it as “discrimination” and has filed for a lawsuit. Immigrants seem to being listened to, at least when it comes to the economy. www.vitaeurope.org
