Kosher

Kosher= Food which is Allowed

Trey fah= Food which is NOT allowed!

All plants are Kosher, but not all animals, birds or fish are.

Animals must be killed in a special manner and have all the blood removed before the meat can be eaten by Jews.

Jews may only eat animals and birds that have been killed by shechitah.

Shechitah is killing the animals by slitting the throat with a very Sharpe knife.

This has been shown too be painless to the animals, as causing pain to living things is against Jewish law.

The theory is that the Sharpe knife cuts the carotid so that the aimal loses consciousness before they are able to feel pain.
