This would be a good source for my paper 3 if I write about the Jewish food community. It list all of the dietary laws which includes:
Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.
Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.
All blood must be drained from meat and poultry or broiled out of it before it is eaten.
It also goes into extensive details about all of the rules.
This source talks about the symbols on a package to recognize if a food is Kosher or not. The website goes into detail about why all of these laws are observed. A useful quote I would use in my paper relating to health issues would be, “Many modern Jews think that the laws of kashrut are simply primitive health regulations that have become obsolete with modern methods of food preparation. There is no question that some of the dietary laws have some beneficial health effects.”
This would be a good source since off the top of my head I wouldn't know any of these facts, so they would be important to include in my paper to inform the reader of what being Kosher really means.
In response to Norman Borlaug's article
I think that the advancement of biotechnology is very vital for our world since there are tons around the world dying every day, and if not dying, millions are starving. The ability to grow more of, faster, and cheaper really defines what our world has become as of late. The world's population has been growing exponentially and there is going to be a time when we exhaust all of the resources. But thanks to technology we are able to significantly push back this time and provide for billions of humans that we would not have been able to otherwise. The thing that is truly frightening though is growing all of these genetically modified crops is a huge risk. Every single crop is the same and while they have been genetically modified to resist pests or other limitations that have been faced in the past, they have the ability to fail 100%. If a pest becomes immune to the resistance then, goodbye EVERYTHING. 100% of the crop would be lost and the world would be in a WORLD of shit. So although I do support biotechnology I believe that if it is going to last it needs to advance even more to successful support the world to the end of time.
I totally agree with you about the advancement of biotechnology and how it has helped millions of people all over the world from starvation. To even think of not having biotechnology…. Our world would not be the same; many people from other countries wouldn’t be living, because of the technology that is needed to benefit them with the use of modified crops. Scientist will continue to research for more advanced “genetically modified crops”, as it will be beneficial for the world today.
