How many look out for the ...

kosher symbol??..

Just curious.. I am taking a poll to see how many look at the box for the symbol? Not that it play an important role, but that it helps you make some purchasing decisions.

I don't know what the kosher symbol is, but I follow the clean/unclean laws regarding foods in the Bible.

The following website is a good source for leaning about kosher.

My brother in law and his family are Jewish, so we go to temple with them when we visit or for the childrens bar mitzvah's, etc.. I also found out many of the people I work with are Jewish or have a Jewish background, so they go over what to name their children, what is kosher, circumsion, etc... pretty neat.....

Cool, then you probably have a very good understanding on this subject.

My wife and her sister are usually the ones more concerned on the foods and other issues as my brother in law and his family are Jewish Reformed, so eat non-kosher foods. My brother in law actually watches out for us to see there is a vegetarian dish or fare with no pork or bacon, etc.. when chosing where we go out to eat at a restuarant.

well, Adventists don't eat unclean food. As for me and my family, my daughter has food allergies. So we eat as little processed food as possible. And we read the labels. If it has too many ingredients we usually pass on it.

I don't look for it. I'm not sure what kosher actually means for non-meat foods.

Visionary, at the grocery store I go to they don't have anything with the kosher symbol on the boxes. I've seen the Hebrew Nation hot dogs there before and I love the "we answer to a Higher power" on the labels (but I don't eat hot dogs made with meat).

I do go to a special store to buy marshmallows that aren't made with pork (who knew?!) and I noticed some wine at the liquor store once that said "kosher for Passover". What does that mean? No leaven?

The Kosher food is a superior quality to other foods.

We don't shop for meat and for the most part try to avoid processed food. So it really isn't an issue for us.

But we do prefer to go to a kosher (chinese vegetarian) restaurant. We seldomly go out to eat.

How about using the symbols for those ingredients in those boxes of crackers and such.
