Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to them.

Even though the bugs must be visible to the naked eye, the microscope reveals the insects which can then be spotted with the naked eye. <BR/>If you can’t find any bugs, you need to better educate yourself on what to look for. Bugs must not be black and detectable on the white background of a paper towel. Aphids are lightly colored and thrips are so tiny yet visible to the naked eye. Each strawberry head contains a colony of pests.<BR/>More and more kinds of produce, nuts, and dried fruits join the infested ranks every year, and worms are discovered in water, in various fishes, and—perhaps one day—in meat. At some point, chewing gum will be the only item on the kosher menu. <BR/>But let’s not forget the Torah was not given to a microscope-possessing audience. Talmudic sages had no idea about the exponential number of prohibitions possible to transgress with a single batch of romaine. The halachic clause that allows for magnifying glass to assist in bug checking is a hole in the law.Producthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903085114768392434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-310633442210374868.post-62336528618852682122009-02-24T01:50:00.000-05:002009-02-24T01:50:00.000-05:00Higher standards for checking produce makes it sig...Higher standards for checking produce makes it significantly more difficult for non-Jewish establishments to opporate under kosher supervision. This means that door$$ are closed that would have otherwise become customers. Additionally raising standards doesn't mean that existing establishments are going to be willing to pay anymore than they already do which can mean the additional expence for the hashgachah can come out of their own pockets.<BR/><BR/>Don't let skepticism be confused with cynicism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
