Chinese internet protest
theepochtimes.com, Muslims Protest Selling of Fake Goat Meat in Northwest China, 4 Jul 2010
"The Muslim populace demanded that the guilty party be severely punished, forcing Government authorities to hold a press conference and depose two bureau chiefs. Local Muslims tried to spread words of caution by Internet, but their information was censored.
"On June 26, Islam Online in China (islamcn.net) reported that several hundred Muslims in Gansu traced the fake goat meat to its production site on June 8 and discovered that it was actually thinly sliced pork labeled as kosher goat meat. At least 200 tons have been produced, of which 180 tons have been sold in markets or eaten by consumers."

Halal food dispute
David Sapsted, The National, Halal dispute over Kentucky Fried Chicken
"A trial involving the sale of halal poultry at dozens of outlets of a fast-food chain across Britain has left groups of Christians and Muslims embroiled in two very different controversies.
"On one hand, non-Muslim groups are setting up internet petitions against KFC’s move to sell halal-only products in the trial at 74 of its outlets across the country. On the other, Muslims themselves are questioning whether, in fact, the poultry being sold is truly halal."

Dede Med, "internet hummus queen"
Wall Street Journal, Shawarma, Ready-to-Eat: Arab Cuisine Invades Camp Pendleton, 16 Mar 2010
"Before she opened her stand, Ms. Hazime, who is also a real-estate broker in Irvine, Calif., had already built up a loyal following for her cooking. Her online alter ego, "Dede Med," is the reigning Internet queen of the mashed chickpea spread called hummus. Ms. Hazime's Web site, featuring recipes, is called "Dede's Mediterranean Kitchen ." She teaches cooking with short, online videos.
"Her hummus video has had more than 343,000 views since it was posted three years ago.
"Ms. Hazime's husband, who owns a computer business installing Google applications, manages her online career. Each night, Mr. Hajibrahim logs onto his computer from the couple's small apartment and searches Arabic food recipes to see where his wife ranks."
Dede Med is here, and looks great. The site contains lots of familiar recipes! Of course, everyone has their own version of key dishes. We certainly need more food on this blog (not just food for thought). I plan to try this out in due course:
