Hi All,
I have been thinking about Halal and Kosher food preparation. Like most
of you I was sickened by the idea that Muslims were given special
treatment about how their meat was slaughtered. My problem was more with
giving-in to them rather than method used. The Jews have always been
using this method. Before stunning was introduced this was the normal
method of slaughter.
On checking further into this I have discovered something that I never
knew before about Kosher foods. The Jewish food laws extend to a great
many products (totally unconnected with Old Testament dietary laws) and
for those products to be termed Kosher the manufacturer has to pay the
Jews for the privilege. This inflates the cost to all of us.
Below is a link to explaining how this Kosher tax works. In the
interests of balance I have included a rebuttal in the second link.

The Bible tells Christians not to get too uptight about eating foods
sacrificed to other gods and idols since they are of no account,
although "unclean" food should always be avoided where circumstances
permit. However some Christians may have a 'conscience' problem with it
and Christians who do not have this problem should be sensitive to their
feelings and abstain.
