All advertising costs, kosher products or not.. I don't think any of
the fast food joints are kosher yet they have an avertising budget
that rivals the GNP.

Actually meat from a kosher butcher is no more expensive than meat
from a non kosher butcher, in fact you can pay much more for specific
cuts and USDA grades of beef than for kosher beef.... cuts from the
rib and loin typically cost more than kosher cuts which are from the
chuck.... yoose gotta compare apples with apples, not apples with
oranges. You can pay just as much if not more for non kosher tube
steak and horse cock* as kosher, just gotta compare equal quality.
Meats from a German butcher and Dago Pork store will cost more than
from a kosher butcher.

*Horse cock refers to large sausage like salamis, balognas, etal.
