The signature ice cream of the University of Wisconsin- Madison campus, called “Babcock,” has a beef gelatin additive that student council members claim members of other religions are unable to ingest without violating their faith (Jews, Muslim, Hindu, vegetarians). They have created a petition to change the ingredients and will vote on the measure Wednesday. More

I knew it! Vegetarian IS a religion!
I scream when I think how stupid these snowflakes are.
Funny how this didn’t become an issue until the mozlem hordes started infesting our country. I don’t recall any protests out of concern for the Jewish, Hindu or Buddhist faiths before. What a bunch of dim-witted dhimmis.
They should just rename the “Babcock” ice cream “Sharia-compliant” flavored ice cream.
Let the muzzies come up with their own damn ice cream.
Yeah and make Ben and Jerry pay for it out of their generous liberal profits, I’m sure they’d really like that. Who knows it might turn into real capitalists but probably not.
Steer hoofs in snowflake food!
A great source of phosphorus, calcium and protein. Makes their hair and fingernails grow.
Yeah, that’s gotta be bad, especially for idiots.
Can anyone explain why Jews and Muslims can’t eat an additive derived from beef?
Make Jello the official dessert of UW. Award Bill Cosby an honorary doctorate!
Nobody’s forcing them to eat the ice cream so f*ck em’.
Dr, Tar – As I understand it, Kosher law forbids any part of a steer mixing with dairy. No cheeseburgers etc.
“Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk”
It is conceivable that, in an iron deficient person, or one with related iron uptake problems, the calcium in the dairy could impair the metabolic uptake of iron. Probably not very common though.
There are several admonitions about periods of time to wait between dairy and meat, in various religious dietary laws. My thought is that it is probably related to the time before refrigeration.
Just put the ingredients on the label and let people decide. If they have such strong feelings, they should be well informed and able to care for themselves. Or they can just eat something else. I’d have major concerns about their HFCS content and colorings.
And I’m a 50+ year vegetarian. I just hope people have enough to eat and that they are happy.
There’s an easy solution. “Ice Cream For None. What’s your next issue?”
Go ahead. take the gelatin out of the ice cream. That doesn’t stop every freshman who works at the shop from jerking off into the ice cream.
