Just seen something trending on twitter and im curious to know if non Muslims eat halal meat and if not, why?

I don't particularly think about it. I eat meat, which is bad enough. Splitting hairs about how exactly it is slaughtered is a bit trite.

There is no spell! A simple prayer is said as the animal dies. A blessing. Even though I'm not religious, I rather like this. It shows the animal is seen as a sentient being, perhaps a creature with a soul that needs blessing before it dies. Our way is to treat animals like products.
Halal animals are also supposed to be raised in a non-abusive way. If any animal is being maltreatef it should be nurtured back to health.
A prayer being said and care for the animals' welfare certainly wouldn't put me off eating halal (if I ate meat).
