Tyson's prayer and poultry
"Trend expert Faith Popcorn, keynote speaker at the Future of Food conference, sees faith-friendly food showing up in the marketplace, an outgrowth of what her company calls "clanning," or the desire to belong to groups with common ideas.
"Tyson Foods, which makes chicken, beef and pork products, already has begun offering free downloadable prayer booklets on its Web site. The booklets provide mealtime prayers in a variety of faiths."

In my previous post on this, I felt that choosing one faith and excluding others was uncalled for for a corporate food provider. I'm glad to have been wrong in that Tyson is actually aligning itself with dinner prayers in general and will be offering them as a supplement to the meal they provide in any religion, not just Christianity.
