So basically, Kosher is a bunch of crap, and none of my Jewish family, who are fairly religious otherwise, bothers to follow it. They just cook their food properly.

Now go eat some pork and drink a Gatorade on the side.

well before you start insulting my religion id suggest you read up on kosher a wee bit more.

I'm not insulting your religion... my mother's Jewish, and I am by blood, if not in practice. I would never in hell insult Judaism. I just think that following an incredibly archaic diet is a bit silly. And yeah, it's not all related to diet (I get not drinking milk with beef, because that's just plain rude) but I'm absolutely certain that not eating animals like pigs has to do with uncertain cooking capabilities (in addition to rural ignorance.)

Of course, if you can find Kosher Gatorade this is all moot. As for Powerade... I don't have a clue if it works as well, not to mention if it's Kosher.

So does that mean you get the kosher MREs? Those things kick butt, way better than cheese omelets

well i dont get MREs in general. but im sure i would get them if i needed them.

seriously, its like a Patio 99-cent tv dinner vs a a real mexican restraunt. Make sure your chain knows in advance you need kosher, though, and they are required to make the dinners available to you. They just have to kind of go out of their way to get them, and there are random kosher items in the regular MREs, so most leadership doesn't bother to have any in reserve. But if you tell them, they have to do it.
