It’s So Kosher to be Kosher

Okay, maybe you’ve decided you want to live a healthier lifestyle but going vegetarian just isn’t looking to good to you right now.  How about going Kosher?  Apparently there is a new movement in the world of Kosher food and people are buying it a lot lately.

You might be asking why would people buy Kosher food if they weren’t Jewish?  The answer is pretty simple.  Kosher food is supposed to be cleaner and more friendly when it comes to killing animals for meat.  Jewish law says pain has to be minimized when the helpless animal arrives for slaughter which is music to those ears who love a good steak but want the cow to be coddled before death.  For those who are trying to wean themselves off meat and maintain a vegetarian diet, look for labels that say “Kosher pareve”.  That label indicates the product was made without any meat products.

If you’re interested in learning more about Kosher food, head over to the Chabad Kosher Guide.  Be on the lookout for those “K” or “parve” symbols on your next trip to the grocery store and go Kosher!  You can join the 75% of the public purchasing Kosher products who aren’t Jewish.
