Die intellectual - Nope.. here's an article from a newspaper written by an imam. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2623879/We-Muslims-appalled-sale-halal-meat-stealth.html
I repeat, muslims do not have to eat halal food, be it life or death or just everyday eating.

SenseNotSoCommon - I actually anguish over the fact we still even have battery hens.. Never buy anything but free range or organic if possible. Just fyi.

Did the devout muslims reading this article know that you actually CAN eat non-halal meat if you can't find it...?
Surah 2:173: If one is forced because there is no other choice, neither craving nor transgressing, there is no sin on him
and that as long as the animal is not dead (just stunned) then there is no problem with eating that meat..
Halal (in particular non-stunned meat) is a CHOICE. Even for muslims!
And for the person who said that Halal slaughter methods are not cruel I would ask you to watch this video (if you can) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_bZzxep87c (Warning. Graphic.)
In the UK many halal butchers now stun before slaughter. Unfortunately many across the world still don't and millions of animals suffer undue stress and pain. Many of the east asian muslim countries, where animal welfare is basically non-existant, being the worst culprits I'm afraid. These reports should provide enough information for those who are willing to open their eyes to the cruel animal slaughter practice which takes place in these countries.

It shoud be pretty easy to retest the area after the bottles were removed to see if the levels go down... That should be pretty conclusive as to whether it is cauised by the bottles or if it's Fukushima related.
