Do you know you're buying and eating certified Kosher food all the time?

  • well then people need to ask. just like they should with all the little chemical preservative codes on their food. if they arent overly concerned HOW their food retains its flavour and WHY it lasts so long, then why should they care about how its prepared religiously?

    At least they use actual words that can be read and so the consumer can have some vague notion or idea of upon encountering.

    Sorry. That's not my argument.

    I want to know why they have to use little secret symbols that are 100% meaningless without some kind of secret code book nobody knows about.

    I used to work at Entenmann's bakery in the 90's. We made sure that our kitchens were kosher before we could use the Pareve symbol on our boxes, especially at Passover.

    What makes it Pareve? A rabbi blesses the utensils, the dishwasher, everything in the kitchen. He makes sure it's clean and that no meat nor dairy touches the blade of a knife nor the blade of a mixer.

    It's important to some people. To me, it is not.

    What is the big f'ing deal?

    howdy bu bu. :)

    I have no problem with them doing that as long as I have the choice to choose NOT to purchase or eat food prepared in that way. That's all I'm saying. I don't want my food blessed and I'd say it's as important to me that it isn't as it is to those that want it blessed. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Precisely.

    It's a two way street isn't it?

    Apparently not for some reason. I have to comply and adapt to rules for like.0000000001 percent of the worlds population. Actually I read somewhere it's 0% rounded...

    but I'm wrong of course...

    Critical thinking is bad.....just follow along

    They don't put just a the number, and at least I would know it's a preservative, or color dye, and it's in the list of ingredients itself.

    If they put a number randomly on the package outside the ingredients list like the kosher symbols I wouldn't though.

    Is it too hard to print kosher on the ingredients list at the end?!?

    I'm thinking no.

    Well I'm not going to wade into the holocaust debate Roland. :D

    Life is too short and there are other things for me to think about, however, I do believe that regardless of the religion there is far too much of it that we are subjected to in day to day life. If people hold belief and they follow a religion that's great and I have no problem but I am tired of constantly having to adapt and change and make accomadations for that because of how it's handled in the world. The shame is that athiests tend not to band together as a group so I think we'll always be pretty much stuffed by this! :p:D

    I dunno, but did you know the largest Kosher meat plant in the US just got busted for making meth? Not particularly awesome news. http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/breaking/108541.html

    I don't want to support certain religious (edit: preferably all) groups unknowingly. That is my right...or is it? Do I have to? Does it make me a bad person if I don't want to or be able to make that decision at face value instead of deciphering symbols?

    It's the same as me approaching someone and telling them I have to personally touch XYZ items in their factory and they have to pay me for it, and the they have to recoup the fees by passing on the additional cost to the consumer. They would tell me to fuck off in about three seconds.

    I'm still a little wary of why so many mainstream food corps are bending over backwards to get kosher certification to appeal to near 0% of the population.

    i believe it all comes down to money for roland, as it does for most republicans:
    You're paying an additional nominal fee for a Rabbi to certify these products.


    funny, isn't it, that an overwhelming focus on money is the thing most jews get accused of?

    Here's a thought: shop organic, learn to cook & use your own kitchen to make your own, non-Kosher foods. Then you won't have to start threads like this that are- honestly- not only offensive, but that also perpetuate a myth that was started by white supremacists. Or were you not trying to associate yourself with organizations like that?

    I made my points, and they are sound.

    Take a look for these symbols next time you're at the grocery store. In Canada you'll find the U, the MK, and the COR amongst others.

    Essentially all ice creams, cooking oils, ketchup, pickles, beets....the list is rather expansive.

    Look for yourself next time you go grocery shopping. You might be rather surprised how much of your pantry is already kosher

    You're paying an additional nominal fee for a Rabbi to certify these products.

    Some argue it's supports Israel and their policies discretely. The verdict is still out for me.

    Question: Do you think this is deceptive advertising?

    It's deceptive advertising if the product says it's Kosher and it actually isn't.

    What if you have no idea what it says? Is that deceptive?

    I love watching Roland destroy his own credibility... some of the real humdingers have been amazing comedic gold... such as...

    1. The thread he started about the Columbine Massacre and Israeli/Jewish invlovement in it. basicly saying that Columbine was a zionist plot

    2. stating that the Holocaust was exaggerated

    3. anything else that comes out of his fingertips about the Zionist plot to control the world and how israel is evil and was responsible for every war of the last 100 years



    i remember when you would come here daily and post about 9/11 being a conspiracy and posting non stop alex jones horseshit. then it moved onto the Federal Reserve and the CCFA, again posting more alex jones horseshit. but now you have moved to the Zionists and Israel, but the alex jones has stopped for soem reason, thank god.

    some people watch an internet conspiracy documentary, created by anyone, and they accept is as fact asap and run around the internet spreading it as if it was the truth and that they had a strangle hold on true enlightenment and all of the world eveil plots.

    let me give you a heads up, if all of these conspirators were as good as you say, then how the hell do YOU, or anyone, know about them :rolleyes:


    the CIA is the best example. if they were so all powerful and controlling of all world affairs, then why did the former head of the CIA, GHW Bush, lose his bid for relection in 1992? they are good enough to control the world, but not good enough to rig an election for their ultimate inside man, CIA head turned President?

    Basically saying that, but not saying that at all. You can read the entire thread. He never said that.
    2. stating that the Holocaust was exaggerated

    He gave his arguments, many of which couldn't be refuted. What happened mostly is people put words into his mouth and twisted everything he said. They attacked him and didn't read a single word he said instead of actually addressing the point.
