From time to time, when someone asks a question about determining what salad dressing, cookies, BBQ sause, crackers etc, are veggie I will suggest one way to find okay food is to look for a kosher symbol such as U inside a circle, or a K inside a circle or triangle.
This always results in a lot of thumbs down.
This approach works because Jewish diatary law forbids mixing milk and meat. So unless the food is marked as being meat or marked as being dairy it contains neither meat nor milk what is refered to as parve.
Why are people so against using this as one method for finding vegan food?
Is it anti-semitism?
Or jeolousy because not nearly as much food is marked vegan?
Bitter because Jewish dietary law which was the first religion to incorporate respect for animals into the religion didn't go all the way to vegitarianism?
