This actually should have been leaned on a little bit more in canon, honestly.
It was actually Shikamaru who correctly twigged onto the fact that the arena matches were actually about the spectacle more than the win/lose results, but it would have been nice if someone had, at some point, responded to that whole “oh the Chuunin Exams are a substitute for war :)” with “so, instead of actual war which risks your most experienced adult soldiers and property, y’all are letting your youngest and least experienced soldiers, most of them teens, fight and die instead? how does that square up with the will of fire and everyone being a family. I’m gonna kill Hiruzen with my bare hands.”

Jewish and Muslim people go on Chopped and are made to cook with pork and they make it work, one vegan goes on and refuses to use any meat products he’s given and they have an all veggie episode for him.
The final basket had honey in it and e refers to it as a total nightmare scenario. Go talk to the Muslim woman who knocked out a pork loin without being able to taste her dish about dealing with nightmare baskets
My mum was watching a baking show where a 20 year old Muslim woman was a contestant. They had to make an alcoholic dessert. She nailed it despite not being able to taste it. When she mentioned that she couldnt (not as a complaint or excuse) everyone gawked at her and someone said “how old are you???”. Like, really?
I saw that one! Seemed like purposeful sabotage when your contestant can neither religiously or legally taste the ingredient
