OUTRAGE! As Sainsbury's and Asda refuse to stock Christian Easter eggs!

[Northern Monkey]

But they will sell halal ones


http://ukheadlines.info/outrage-as-sainsburys-and-asda-refuse-to-stock-christian-easter-egg-but-they-sell-halal-ones

[MB.]

Spoiler: pretty much all Easter eggs are halal

[Jordan.]

Asda and Sainsbury's know where it's at, we're paying for chocolate not fanfiction.

[Withano]

Christians need to stop ruining easter for everybody else tbh

[MB.]

Yeah I'd like to know exactly where in the Bible Jesus and his disciples sit down to enjoy a nice traditional Easter egg

[Kizzy]

Is it April fools day again?... :/

[Tozzie]

what on earth are you talking about, I don't ruin Easter for anyone, if my message of be kind, be nice, be loving ruins your Easter then so be it.

Oh right.

[Denver]

But Muslim's wouldnt celebrate Easter?

[Jordan.]

But Muslim's wouldnt celebrate Easter?

I'd say neither do the majority of people who buy easter eggs, if we're talking about the religious side of it.

[Denver]

I'd say neither do the majority of people who buy easter eggs, if we're talking about the religious side of it.

I get that but Muslims usually move away from everything to do with other religious holidays and eggs fall under that

[MB.]

"Muslims need to integrate themselves more into our society!"
"Okay then, we'll buy Easter eggs"
"No, not like that"

:think:

[Tozzie]

Who said Muslims need to integrate themselves in this thread? Musta missed it

[MB.]

Did I say that anyone had said that in this thread?

[Tozzie]

Did I say that anyone had said that in this thread?

no, but I don't understand why you had to bring it up in this thread?

[MB.]

And I don't understand what relevance the fact that supermarkets stock halal Easter eggs has to do with this story, but there we go!

[DemolitionRed]

Rabbits and eggs are ancient Pagan symbols of new life in the spring but the tradition was nicked off the Christians and used as the resurrection of Christ.

I'd buy a Pagan egg but I'm not going to support a Christian Easter.

[Tozzie]

And I don't understand what relevance the fact that supermarkets stock halal Easter eggs has to do with this story, but there we go!

I don't understand why they can't stock Halal eggs and Christian themed eggs. It is things like this that causes bad feeling amongst different cultures. How are we ever meant to be able to get along side by side with brothers and sisters of other cultures while acts such as this tries to cause animosity. I doubt many muslim people would be offended if Christian Easter eggs are stocked. We have a halal meat counter in our local supermarket and that doesn't bother me, I understand it's muslim faith to eat halal, so both is stocked, halal and non halal. Fair wouldn't you say?

[Niamh.]

They probably chose to sell the ones kids want to eat tbf What kid is going to ask for a Bible Easter Egg :laugh:

I wasn't actually expecting this debate to start but Sainsbury's stated that they work off a supply and demand policy and not enough people bought the Christian eggs last year.

[Withano]

Asda hasn't commented.

The fact some chocolate eggs are edible to Muslims has zero relevance to them not stocking a religious Christian one. People acting like they've chosen to stock eggs with Qurans inside instead :facepalm:

[Niamh.]

I wasn't actually expecting this debate to start but Sainsbury's stated that they work off a supply and demand policy and not enough people bought the Christian eggs last year.

Exactly, that's perfectly logical, kids want Mars or Malteaser eggs not Jesus ones :laugh:

[Tozzie]

I wasn't actually expecting this debate to start but Sainsbury's stated that they work off a supply and demand policy and not enough people bought the Christian eggs last year.

but some did so why can't they stock those too? They don't have to buy shed loads but at least let the people who still believe feel that they are just as important as those that don't. There are still some good Christian people around.

[ebandit]

........worse thing is producers getting away with hollow eggs

Don't be silly, I don't think Qurans are inside the eggs for goodness sakes :facepalm: My point is why not stock both.

[Jordan.]

Someone already posted the reason is because the sales aren't good enough.

[MB.]

From my (not extensive, I'll admit) knowledge, halal Easter eggs are just regular Easter eggs minus a few preservatives and possibly gelatin, so I don't see a huge difference between a non-Muslim buying a halal Easter egg - which, again, is just a regularly-branded egg with a small sticker on the back, it's not as if they're made by the Muslim Chocolate Company or something - and, say, a non-vegetarian buying a vegetarian product. Sure, there's a religious aspect to it, but at the end of the day it's a minor dietary requirement and that's it.

The Christian Easter egg thing is another matter entirely, as they've been specifically branded to appeal to Christians for no necessity other than wanting kids to know the Easter story. And if they're not selling enough, then why stock them? There are plenty of other ways of teaching kids about Easter...

[Brillopad]

Someone already posted the reason is because the sales aren't good enough.

But plenty cater for a minority in this country wanting halal meat which goes against our policies in cruelty to animals, so let's face it that excuse is a load of old tosh.

[Jordan.]

If people are that bothered about their kids learning about Christianity they'd go out and buy them a bible for Easter not rely on a chocolate egg. I don't normally get all SJW in these type of debates but this is a case of blaming Muslims for something that isn't there fault if ever I've seen it.

[MB.]

Again, since most Easter eggs are halal, I'd be willing to wager that the majority of people who buy them either have no idea or don't care

[Niamh.]

Kosher meat too?

[Greg!]

Really confuses me how people get so up in arms over bloody chocolate eggs and what it says on the packaging. There are more important things in life to worry about.

no one is blaming muslims for anything omg, I'm blaming the supermarkets for taking Christian Easter Eggs out of the supermarkets. Easter is about the Christian religion, if they don't want 'Easter' eggs anymore then don't make it a public holiday and just be done with it. What is the matter with everyone why are so many people hell bent on ridiculing Christian people for their beliefs yet don't ridicule any other cultural beliefs. I am a good, Christian person with a good heart who just wishes everyone could get along but as long as people are making it just one sided that is never going to work. It upsets me that the world is trying to make me feel bad for being a Christian. As I said earlier, they could stock both, I am sure a batch of Christian easter eggs would get taken off the shelves. Doesn't have to be shed loads, just give us a choice. Diversity is supposed to be also about choice, by taking christian eggs off the shelves they have taken my choice away.

[Tom4784]

NM's made a large leap of logic here, the Christian Egg isn't stocked because it won't sell well, why waste shelf space on a religious Easter Egg which most people won't care for when you can go for a branded Easter Egg which is more likely to fly off the shelves? You don't want leftover stock that you can't shift and eventually will have to throw away.

'Halal' chocolate (lol) is basically the same thing as vegetarian chocolate so are they also to blame? Because there's as much evidence to suggest that they are responsible for the Christian Easter Egg being rejected by shops as Muslims are.

[Tozzie]

You know it's nothing to do with eggs really



Eggs have been associated with the Christian festival of Easter for god knows how long, which celebrates the death and resurrection of Christ
The egg has long been a symbol of 'fertility', 'rebirth' and 'the beginning'.

Theres no need to take it personally. The 'Christian eggs' were barely profitable, and the supermarkets decided to stock up on the popular brands, that happened to be halal.
It has nothing to do with Christians, it has nothing to do with Muslims. They are a business that want to make a larger profit off the public holidays, and it is as simple as that.

How do you know it won't sell well, the choice has been taken away so it won't sell at all now. They have refused to sell ANY at all, that isn't catering to everyone. As I said earlier, no one is blaming Muslims, I'm all for 'halal' chocolate being on the shelves, rightly so but what if some people don't want to buy that chocolate. In my local supermarket we have halal counters, a couple of isles of polish and other countries food stuffs and that doesn't bother me, its good they can have the choice to buy those foods. If Halal and other countries food stuffs were removed there would be hell to pay so why is it so bad that some people are upset they have taken the christian choice of egg away.

Supply and Demand is a thing.

Easter and Christmas have become general holidays that are celebrated by most people in the west and Easter Eggs certainly don't form a part of the religious aspects of the Easter Holiday so it's strange to act like the fact that most supermarkets not stocking a non-profitable Egg is somehow an attack on you as a Christian.

[Tozzie]

Theres no need to take it personally. The 'Christian eggs' were barely profitable, and the supermarkets decided to stock up on the popular brands, that happened to be halal.
It has nothing to do with Christians, it has nothing to do with Muslims. They are a business that want to make a larger profit off the public holidays, and it is as simple as that.

I'm not taking it personally Withano, I'm just frustrated as to why people can't see my point, not one person has come forward with an understanding of my point and I refuse to believe that no one at all agrees with how I view this. Must be just this forum because I know a hell of a lot of people agree with me, of course some don't but a lot do.

Because Tesco has said so and it's not a leap of logic to suggest that it's the same story elsewhere. Christian Easter Eggs have a very specific target audience, a limited one so WHY would a shop stock such a product when they could get a popular brand that sells well to a more general audience? It's common sense.

I imagine it's because people actually buy those other products you've spoken about. Supply and Demand, it's nothing more than that.

Muslims radicalising our Easter eggs :fist:

I can see how that would be frustrating, but I dont understand your point. From a business perspective (which Sainsburys and Asda are), your point is illogical.

You wouldnt buy a crate of Christian eggs as a business owner if you can only sell a small protion of the product at RRP. Its not like Sainsburys can be all like 'yeh, we want 7 eggs at each shop' the Christian Egg company would barely profit from delivering such a small amount countrywide either. Its a lose-lose.

Those that agree with you cant be very business-minded.

...sadly, 'The Real Easter Egg'..or the Christian/religious chocolate egg as it's being called has always struggled with supermarkets and sales and supermarkets are all about the profit baby as we all know...Sainsbury's in particular though, pride themselves in their Fair Trade products and this for me is the reason why they should be stocking it and promoting it to consumers...

'was one of the first retailers to sell Fairtrade products, over 20 years later, Sainsbury’s is now the world's largest retailer of Fairtrade products. *

Sainsbury’s aims to provide customers with quality products at a fair price, sourced in a way that's better for the farmers, growers and workers involved. *Offering a wide range of Fairtrade products is part of this and can make a real difference to the lives of people in developing countries.
Selling Fairtrade-certified products ensures that producers in developing countries are given a guaranteed minimum price, which is especially important when market prices fall. Producers also receive the Fairtrade Premium to invest in business and community development.'

...ok it may have a little Easter Story booklet which non-religious or anti religious may disapprove of, I get that but it's also one of the very few Fair Trade chocolate eggs and a large portion of its sales are donated to charity...those reasons for me have always made it pretty much an egg I've always looked out for when buying them...shame on Sainsbury's really, they should have forgone a little bit of profit to stand by their ethics and made Easter great again...ooops....

[Tozzie]

I'm outraged that supermarkets dont give me free stuff for being cute, but I understand that it wouldnt be profitable for them to do so.

Besides the only group that I've found to express outrage at the egg is one which supports the (now outdated) anti-homosexuality bill (of Uganda 2009), which supported the death penalty. They are also against abortion, and for marital rape.

Dont really think this group has a right to complain about the equal rights of anything ever really.

[Kazanne]

but some did so why can't they stock those too? They don't have to buy shed loads but at least let the people who still believe feel that they are just as important as those that don't. There are still some good Christian people around.

In all my very long life I have never set eyes on a Christian Easter egg.
So some company decided to do it as a gimmick, it appears not to have worked.
Sticking a label on it saying The Real Easter egg doesn't mean it's any more religious than Cadburys, sticking little religious booklets just smacks of Kinder eggs.
The run up to Easter, in primary school, making little palm crosses and talk of Lent was always something to look forward to as a young kid in my day, the same as your new Easter outfits of cotton frocks white socks and sandals.
Easter chicks, Easter bunnies and Easter eggs are for all, religious or not.

That's pretty much all I have to say on this thread. Anyone who gets genuinely outraged about Easter Eggs has it far too easy in life :nono:.

The only outrage today is that I only got 1, incredibly small, egg.

[Kizzy]

The good christian people around don't need it writing on an egg and can hopefully see a marketing campaign/gimmick when they see one.

[Toy Soldier]

I told my daughter that we have Easter eggs because Easter is the day that Jesus hatched out of an egg.

She set me straight though. Some nonsense about the boulder blocking the Jesus zombie in a cave being like an egg and it rolling away so that he could get out and start biting people to give them the Christianity virus?

[Livia]

Easter eggs are Pagan, they're the symbol of the fertility goddess Eostra (where the word Easter comes from). Another of her symbols is the hare, which pagans believes could cross between the human world and the realm of the Gods... and he became the Easter bunny.

[Kizzy]

Like most Christian festivals...ripped off :)

[Livia]

All religions have always hijacked other religions. My local church when I lived in London was Norman, built on a Saxon site, which was built on a Roman site, which was built on an Ancient British site.
