re: #70 SanFranciscoZionist

Having seen the list of cooking terms that’s making Pam hysterical, I think I see what the problem may be. As Alouette said, I don’t think they wrote this, I think they got it from somewhere else. I don’t know entirely what the “kosher turkey does NOT have less cholesterol, it does NOT have no bacteria” is about, but I guess that it was originally a response to someone who like many consumers, had an idea that kosher meat is somehow incredibly physically pure and super-healthy. Even at Thanksgiving dinner, I was talking to a woman who thought it meant ‘organic’ and raised without antibiotics.

I think that’s the reason - a lot of people have a mistaken impression that kosher somehow means “more healthy.” And since turkeys do have bacteria and have to be cooked thoroughly to avoid making you sick, it doesn’t seem strange at all that the glossary brought it up.

I feel sorry for the Butterball employees who have to deal with this bigoted rubbish.
