In the meantime...

I will be posting something new later today, but in the meantime, I found a few kosher-oriented articles.

This one is a survey of people who purchase kosher meats. Turns out the main reason is food quality, not kashrut.

Here's an article from the New York Times citing similar facts.

Here is another article from Nina Rastogi from Slate. It asks if Kosher and Halal meats are better for the environment. Turns out, not much, but we do have some advantages.

I give a special shout-out to Nina -- I went to elementary school with this girl in Northern California before we moved away!

Post to come later today...
