Bacon Cheese Burgers Are Transgressive

At certain religiously significant times of year, I like to eat bacon cheese burgers with ketchup with caffeinated drinks and beer, especially on Fridays during Lent. 

I am thinking about it now, however, in light of attention to halal considerations near the Muslim Holy Day of Eid at-Fitr which ended this evening.

* They are not kosher (i.el they violate Jewish dietary codes).

* They are not halal (i.e. they violate Islamic dietary codes).

* They violate dietary restrictions for Roman Catholics that apply on Fridays during Lent.

* They are at odds with most Hindu dietary codes that prohibit consumption of beef (i.e. the "sacred cow" rules).

* Caffeine and alcohol violates Mormon dietary laws.

* Many religious sects forbid alcohol consumption.

These are also problematic for modern day dietary Puritans.

* They are neither vegetarian nor vegan.

* The ingredients are also often not organic and not GMO-free.

* The ingredients are often not locally made.

* They can be problematic for lactose intolerant people.

* The buns are generally not gluten free.

* They are no go's for low carb diets, low sugar diets, and low fat diets.

Despite the fact that bacon cheese burgers and beer and caffeinated drinks can be transgressive, particular at certain times of the year, they are nonetheless, widely available in the United States, even at the most religiously sensitive times.
