"A Kosher (or halal) eater will never eat nonkosher (or nonhalal) food , but a nonkosher eater isn’t banned from eating kosher."
Well no, but I would never, if given the choice, buy kosher or halal food. I would also not buy pope-approved or hare krishna-blessed food either. I'm perfectly happy with stores carrying those items for people who want them, as long as they are clearly labeled so that I know what I buy.
You know how HN says that we should always vote with our wallets? I try to follow that with food - I don't want my food to have anything to do with any religion, even if it makes the tastiest food in the world - I just refuse to spend any money on it.
So no Hershey's chocolate? No Coca-Cola? No Kellogg's cereals? No milk? Unless you're eating cheeseburgers for every meal I think it would almost be harder to avoid all kosher foods than to keep kosher.
