Emily The New York Times has a major op-ed about Hebrew National hot dogs today!!!
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/opinion/04fishkoff.html?_r=1
Red, White and Kosher
By SUE FISHKOFF
IN 1972, a TV commercial changed the way Americans looked at kosher food. It showed Uncle Sam munching on a Hebrew National beef hot dog as a heavenly voice assures him it is free of the additives and byproducts present in lesser processed meats.
“We answer to a higher authority,” the voice proclaims. Trust us — we’re kosher.
That message resonated at a time when Americans were growing increasingly mistrustful of the government and were starting to worry about what dangerous hidden substances might be on their dinner plates. Today, a majority of Americans believe that kosher food is safer, healthier, better in general than non-kosher food. And they’re willing to pay more for it. Kosher is the fastest-growing segment of the domestic food industry, with bigger sales than organic. One-third to one-half of the food in American supermarkets is kosher-certified, representing more than $200 billion of the country’s estimated $500 billion in annual food sales, up from $32 billion in 1993.
Given that Jews make up less than 2 percent of the population, and most of them don’t keep kosher, it’s clear that the people buying this food are mostly non-Jews. While some consumers probably aren’t aware that their pasta or cookies are kosher, many are folks who believe that “higher authority” promise.
The Hebrew National campaign also captured a pivotal moment in American Jewish history: a newly confident but still largely immigrant community, basking in Israel’s victory in the June 1967 war, was almost reflexively looking back over its shoulder, not quite sure of its position in the majority-Christian society.

Deborah weird...I was thinking that *kosher* these days means safer/healthier. It's the only dog I buy now:)

modernmami So excited about our Orlando picnic this Sunday! I've spread word to all the local news stations for their site's community calendars. A contact at the Orlando Sentinel also has the information and is going to try to include it in Saturday's newspaper. Also contacted local radio station for letting their listeners know. Info is also on Craigslist events page.
Will post on my blog on Friday. :)2 months ago - Comment
