Kashrut

Kashrut (also kashruth or kashrus, כַּשְׁרוּת) is the set of Jewish religious dietary laws. Food that may be consumed according to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher /ˈkʃər/ in English, from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér (כָּשֵׁר), meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption).

Among the numerous laws that form part of kashrut are the prohibitions on the consumption of unclean animals (such as pork, shellfish (both Mollusca and Crustacea) and most insects, with the exception of certain species of kosher locusts), mixtures of meat and milk, and the commandment to slaughter mammals and birds according to a process known as shechita. There are also laws regarding agricultural produce that might impact on the suitability of food for consumption.

Most of the basic laws of kashrut are derived from the Torah's Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Their details and practical application, however, are set down in the oral law (eventually codified in the Mishnah and Talmud) and elaborated on in the later rabbinical literature. While the Torah does not state the rationale for most kashrut laws, many reasons have been suggested, including philosophical, practical and hygienic.

    Hypocrite Catastrophe

    by: Kosher

    You’re a different person from face to face.
    That’s great acting, but where’s your stage?
    Always ranting and raving without a clue.
    All I ask for is some occasional truth.
    (I know it won’t kill you.)
    If you could see what I see hypocrite catastrophe.
    If you could see what I see, try learning some fucking civility.
    Maybe you should try representing what you speak.
    You’ll find your own existence is what’s so very depressing.
    No ones aiming to please? Give me a break!
    You’re breeding your own demise while becoming what you hate.
    If you could see what I see, hypocrite catastrophe.
