Oxford University Press sure to please McCain

Posted on by

domestic-pigJohn McCain has long opposed returning tax dollars to Arizona in the guise of fighting pork. He prefers to let others in Congress return tax dollars to their States.

According to Fox News a report out of England should please the Senator. The Oxford University Press warned its authors not to write about bacon and pork in order to avoid offending Muslims. The move by the largest university book publisher was revealed on a BBC Radio 4 program discussing free speech in light of the terrorist attack on Charle Hebdo magazine in Paris.

Sun News reported that a spokesperson to RT.com said:

the books needed to be “acceptable in other cultures” for them to be exported. The books, which are sold in over 150 countries, need to “consider a range of cultural differences and sensitivities.”

Oddly enough the idea has been attacked by both Jews and Muslims. Both Judaism and Islam abhor eating pork. Muslim labour MP Khalid Mamood is quoted as saying it is absolute and utter nonsense.

Pork is, of course, the product of pigs and made into a variety of products. Ham and bacon is the most popular.

Bacon is made out of other meats, such as turkey and chicken. Pork bacon is still the most popular. Pork bacon is used at breakfast and on a number of fast foods such as bacon cheeseburgers. Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches are a popular fare in many parts of the United States and United Kingdom. Ham is another product of pork which is a popular addition to meals. The ham is a popular addition to the Christmas holiday in the form of the Christmas ham. Pork is also used as a supplement to beans.

There are a number of pork recipes which call for pork as a main dish. Pulled pork, pork stir-fry and pork tenderloin. Pork chops have always been a popular Sunday dish.

Apparently Oxford University Press will no longer publish books on farming.
