Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Most don't realize this but kosher has multiple functions. To reduce the cruelty to animals caused by our consumption of them (i.e milk and meat is not to be consumed together for two reasons, It is horrible for the mother goat to not only be aware that her kid is slaughtered, but cooking it in her milk is cruel and uncalled for... they can tell by the smell.) Yet the second reason is that if you consume milk with meat, the milk stops the body's process of digestion of the meat and it rots in your intestines. Each rule usually is either to rid the food of toxins, allow the body to heal, and to eliminate cruelty. Set in place some 5000 years ago, it is only in the last 70+ years that science has proved aspects of it as being logical. The more raw the better, eating in zones and seasons, watching how you mix your food types, and preventing as much cruelty as possible all have some basis in science. I no long follow kosher, in that I eat raw now, but it was interesting to see how the rules worked to deminish the negative effects of cooked food on the human body in a world where there were no refridgerators etc. Supposedly some of these Kashrut laws were given to Moshie by Ha'Shem. Some of them are very advanced, it does make you wonder. Also interesting that the others were developed in times now considered primitive by many. But that is a whole 'nother discussion. ===== Peace, Good Health and Joyful Love Laura test'; " type=text/css> Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail./mail_250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
