The real issue here is not should non muslims be eating in front of thos that are fasting

The real issue here is why are the council tax payers providing councillors with their food. Let them all, regardless of their religion, bring their own and let us spend the money on esential services.

As someone who is vegetarian. Ceoliac (cant spell) and allergic to numerous other foods I regularly have to do without food in public meetings. It does not bother me as I have my mind made up not to eat as I know it will make me ill. I am sure that Muslims feel the same during Ramadan, if you have decided not to eat then your brain takes over from the hunger.
