I'm mexican and commited with the environment, here there is a very small offer of organic products, now more than ever I try to buy local and organic, but I've found at supermarkets a lot of Kosher seal products, and I was wondering if Kosher products might be another way to help the environment and been healthy. I being doing a bit of research and it seems like Kosher products may be an option in the absense of organic products, do yo agree?

I hope you can answer and complement this.

Greetings from México

PS: Please excuse a my grammar.

  1. Don't listen to the goyim. Kosher food is not blessed by a rabbi. It is, however, held to a stricter standard of cleanliness than non-kosher food. It is probably not organic. However, only 20% of the people who buy kosher food do so for religious reasons. The rest do it for the quality.

    BTW, I realized that you were not from the U.S.; your grammar and spelling were too good. ;-) No excuse is necessary


  2. Kosher foods are processed in a certain way in order to fulfill Jewish law.  While Kosher foods are sometimes more carefully packed and may be safer to eat, the manner in which the cattle or chickens are raised are not that different from non-Kosher foods.  In my opinion buying locally grown foods may help the environment more by cutting down on transportation and fuel use.  Good luck in your search for a Greener life!

  3. I konw its not as processed and filled with artifical ingrediants as most food, after all the point of kosher is supposed to be healthy. I know that "Kashi" is a organic food brand, and I think that anything from sun chips is organic.

  4. Not in the slightest

    the two things are not even related

    Kosher is a spiritual concept based on ritual

    to do with the soul and religion,

    IT IS THE MANNER OF KILLING THAT MATTERS

    NOT THE MANNER OF GROWING

    Organic is a physical application of an attitude.

    to do with Nature ,the health of the body and soil

    the two words are more   opposites than alike

  5. Kosher refers to a method of preparation and blessing.  It does not mean an organic method of growth or envinronmentally friendly production.

  6. No. Kosher refers to several different things, none of which are organic. Scriptuarally, milk and meat products were to not be mixed. That is why some products are meat, some are milk and some are labelled pareve which means it is neither and can be used with either one. People who keep strict kosher even have 2 sets of dishes & cookware b/c of this. Kosher means it has been prepared properly. Aas to meat products that are kosher, there have been found to be as many atrocities in kosher slaughter houses as regular slaughter houses so that is of no assurance. We as consumers need to make our wishes known when we buy things, such as no longer buying things that are GMO. Buy what you can afford from your local stores & health food stores, go to your local farmer's market, and pray. Because there are so many things involved with helping the environment - for example, how many miles was the product shipped? Or how was it marketed - in the example of coffee is it free trade? You have to look at the whole picture * make informed decisions & sometimes that just isn't easy.

  7. Kosher doesn't really have anything to do with organic.  It just means that the food was blessed by a Jewish Rabbi.

    Some Kosher foods may be organic, but I would be careful before you buy something Kosher with the assumption that it is organic, because this is not guaranteed.
