On our way into work today, we were talking about the differences between natural, farm-raised, organic meats and other meats (I had been watching Food.Inc and was convinced that we could die early from eating meats that had been injected with hormones etc.)

There is always the argument that when something says "organic" on the package it is not necessarily organic, as I blogged about recently.

But that got me thinking about kosher foods-which have to go through inspection and blessing by a rabbi before they reach your grocery store and your kitchen. Are kosher foods healthier for you than other foods?

According to a new study, most people who pick up kosher foods pick them up because they feel their food is safer, has more quality and is healthier in general.

Kosher food is not necessarily organic food, but for some reason, consumers regard it just as healthy, if not more, than organic foods.

Here is an article that talks more about the debate:

What do YOU think? Does kosher mean healthier?
