EVEN ORTHODOX JEWS ARE GETTING SICK OF THE HIGH PRICES OF KOSHER MEAT

http://galusaustralis.com/2012/03/5743/the-cost-of-kosher/

Cost is a strong negative influence that most people consider when evaluating Kosher foods and Kosher services. I distinctly recall being very uncomfortably unable to answer the plaintive question; “Rabbi, why is it that a vegetarian Kosher function provided by a non-certified Kosher caterer is so much cheaper than the identical menu provided by a Kosher certified caterer?”

I did not have an answer and I don’t believe anyone has an answer to that question, because the cost difference was enormous. And they had tried a number of Kosher caterers. I saw the quotations.

This dousche didn't have an answer because "just go vegetarian" is the orthodox jewish left's answer to overly expensive proteins. You get these little weak ass hipster leftist jew boys (some of them are gay) who hate meat eating PROTEIN IS AN ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT YOU DUMB FUCKS.

However, my main point is that many people resist making a commitment to Kosher or even a partial commitment (I know that sounds weird but that is the fact, people will eat various things but never THAT stuff.) for a related reason. Their main objection is – they feel violated by a system that appears to extort and abuse them.

Yeah, no shit.

In short they feel they are being treated like idiots.

They are being treated like, idiots. Especially on Passover.

When there is no transparency regarding prices and processes and no real competition, they feel abused.

Feel abused?! Howabout when there is no transparency or competition, they ARE abused.

These are people who are prepared to pay for quality and for service and they want to pay for Kosher, provided that it appears to be reasonable and justified.

You don't need ultimate high quality kosher meat. You can just COOK nonkosher meat and it is perfectly fine. That is what COOKING is for. Fact: The human immune system does NOT get rid of every last little potentially dangerous microbe inside the body but it is good enough to generally keep them all at bay. Just COOK the damn food.

Now for some of us, an extremely small proportion of Australia’s Jewish population, this is not a question. However, the vast majority of Australia’s Jews, our brothers and sisters, are not that way inclined. Are they opposed in principle to keeping Kosher? Sure, some of them are. But let’s consider the overwhelming proportion who wish to have burial according to our ancient traditions, who have their children circumcised, educated at Jewish institutions, their homes actively reflecting some Jewish content and connection to their heritage. Are these Jews in principle opposed to keeping Kosher? Certainly not.

Kosher has been made unnecessarily difficult, and unjustifiably expensive. We do not, and many believe that we cannot, explain and justify that the costs are fair and not extortive.

Kosher has been made to look silly and political. That’s the consequence of insisting that a kitchen must be Koshered after being used by a Kosher caterer supervised by a different Kosher organisation.

Kosher has been made to look trivial. That’s the consequence of knowing that the products on the Kosher list are not Kosher enough for the rabbi who endorses the list.

Kosher has been made to look petty. That’s the consequence of accepting as Kosher the same food in one state of Australia but not in another state.
