Let them eat crescent rolls!
That might be the response from the kitchen staff at Poole Hospital in Dorset, England, where officials have banned hot-cross buns — a traditional Easter treat — for fear of upsetting non-Christians.
The decision prompted an angry response from hospital workers, the Daily Mail of London reported.
"We the kitchen staff of Poole Hospital were disgusted to find that the patients were not getting hot cross buns this morning," read a letter published on Good Friday. "The manager of the catering department said he was worried about the ethnic minorities that work here."

While hospital officials reversed themselves on Easter Monday and allowed kitchen staff to bake and distribute hot-cross buns, the ban is the latest example of official bodies in the United Kingdom attempting to remove the religious message from Christian festivals in the name of political correctness.

Ya know...serving a big stinking HAM during Ramadan..yes, maybe that should be avoided. But to shirk away from a traditionally christian food on a christian holiday, in a christian country, is beyond silly.

I can't imagine ever being offended by FOOD. Perhaps if someone showed up in my room to make me pray on their religious holiday, I'd be annoyed and frustrated, but a food. How silly.

Serving one that stinks should always be avoided; rotten meat isn't good for anybody. But in general I have to agree that this is political correctness gone mad. Just when you think things couldn't possibly get any more stupid, they do.

Hot cross buns are not originally Christian. They represent a sun wheel image from pagan days.

When you consider the fact that Muslims riot and burn things to the ground when they get offended, it might have been the best decision to make.
