Now even though I may choose not to eat certain foods I never tell others what to eat and what not to eat, until now. If you want to eat meat fine, just don’t eat Kosher meat.
The reason for Kosher meat was created because the Torah says that is it right, although the Torah does not specify any reason for these laws. Those who follow the Torah do not eat the blood of animals because they believe that the life of the animal (literally, the soul of the animal) is contained in the blood.
A lot of people think that Kosher meat is healthier. The only difference between Kosher meat and non-Kosher meat is the way that the animal is killed.
With non-Kosher meat an animal is moved into a building where it’s head is put into a vice and a rod goes through it’s brain killing it instantly. Not great, but that’s what it is. With Kosher meat the they slit the animals throat and rip out it’s trachea while it is still alive. The animal does not die instantly and thrashes around for some time. The purpose of it is to drain the animals body of as much blood as possible in order to drain it of it’s sins and soul. The irony is the physical trauma of doing that to an animal and allowing it to thrash around releases copious amount of lactic acid and other toxins into the blood stream and muscles making it much worse for you to eat.
There was a video posted on YouTube of this process. This video is not safe for work, should not be seen by anyone 18 or under, and is extremely graphic and disturbing. It is at the end of the story and you can continue reading without watching the video.
I’ve had people who have watched some of the worst stuff on the Internet not be able to handle this video. I am putting it on the site, not because I want to disgust anyone or make anyone a vegetarian, but for people to understand that the process of Kosher meat entails and encourage those of you to eat it to stop.
My belief is that if you can’t handle how it gets to your plate than it shouldn’t be on it.
Below is the video of an animal being slaughtered for Kosher meat.
