You're behaving like kosher is a very recent invention, with all kinds
of seals, brands, and tattoos, none of which existed a hundred years
ago and really mean little... those marks are for those jews who only
pretend to keep kosher... those who spend their entire life striving
for strictly kosher pay no attention to what some entity says, they
make their own kosher and only trust their own kashering... they trust
those little markings on packaging like I trust preground mystery
meat.

What constitutes kosher is a nonsensical discussion, no two jews agree
on how kosher is kosher enough... and they all make exceptions even
for their own concepts... kosher is dynamic.... probably the oldest
and most argued concept on the planet.
