Non-Muslims are not eating halal slaughtered meat by choice, they don't get a choice in the first place. Eg Schoolchildren are fed halal meat regardless of whether are Muslim and if a council tries to change that, Muslims kick up a big fuss an d the council gives in.

Plans to ban schools from serving unstunned halal meat have been delayed pending a legal challenge.
Lancashire County Council made the decision to stop using the meat in 27 council-run schools in October, saying it was "cruel" to not stun animals before slaughter.
Lancashire Council of Mosques is now seeking a judicial review claiming the authority did not consult adequately over the decision.

A row has broken out after parents launched a campaign for a school not to serve only halal meat.
Hundreds of people have signed a petition objecting to dishing out meat killed in the traditional Islamic method.
...
The letter asked parents if "you would like Wolsey to become a halal school?"
"This would mean that all meat served in our kitchen will be halal meat only."

Halal meat is being served to pupils in state schools without their knowledge, even if they believe the religious slaughter is cruel.
Parents have reacted furiously after being sent letters telling them their children's school dinners have been all-halal for 'some time'.
To conform with Jewish and Muslim religious tradition, animals are prepared for halal products by having their throats slit while conscious - a method many people believe is inhumane and which the RSPCA has condemned.

The LAW says it's inhumane.

At Lavender we are very proud of our school meals which are cooked fresh on the premises every day. Children can have a hot and healthy school meal, which costs £2.50 per day, or they can bring in a packed lunch from home. All of our meat is Halal.

Despite recent reports to the contrary, many fast-food and restaurant chains in Britain have been using halal – in Arabic "permissible" or "lawful" – meat for years. Nearly 100 KFC outlets around the country serve halal-approved chicken, as do around 75 – a fifth – of Nando's. The sandwiches served in selected Subway stores have contained halal meat since 2007, while all Pizza Express chicken is halal.

How many more examples do you need?
The law is being broken on a truly industrial scale and nothing is being done about it.
