State of the kosher nation - according to NY Times

The New York Times published its inaugural food issue yesterday. 

There's a great article on the numerous ethical and political issues that are being fought over kosher meat at the moment. 

Being written from an American perspective, there is none of the loony 'ban-Shechita' arguments we see in the UK.  Rather, the war is about the importance of looking after the animals we raise for slaughter and the dissonance between believing in the laws of kashrut and allowing our livestock to spend their lives in stinking hovels.

It's well worth taking a few minutes to read it.
