Many people mistakenly believe that kosher production is better for animals. Most kosher products come from factory farms, where animals suffer from unhealthy genetics and languish in filthy, crowded conditions.

Though kosher certification regulates slaughter, it’s not how animals die that qualifies them as “factory farmed”—it’s the conditions they were forced to live in. Learn more about the kosher industry in our new blog: jifanimals.org/blog/virtually…

Genetic welfare and outdoor access aren’t different for animals raised for the kosher market: for example, the vast majority of kosher chickens have been genetically manipulated to mature quickly and are slaughtered at just 38-48 days old. Learn more: jifanimals.org/blog/genetic-w…

Thanks to our sister organization, Jewish Initiative for Animals (JIFA), new billboards across Los Angeles are asking residents “is this #kosher?” The food in question: matzah ball soup that usually contains chickens, 99% of whom are #factoryfarmed. isthiskosher.org

Local news in abuzz with conversation about #isthiskosher. Read more from Alejandra Molina in RNS about JIFA’s billboard campaign and its part in the growing movement for Jewish ethical eating. bit.ly/3AilRu2

LA found a provocative message on billboards this week. The question “is this #kosher?” displays the farmed animals behind Jewish comfort foods many hold dear like fish, namely salmon (lox), all of whom are #factoryfarmed or industrially fished. isthiskosher.org

Our 2022 consumer survey shows that two-thirds of Americans would eat #labgrownmeat. Would you? Why or why not?

"Eating a vegan diet massively reduces the damage to the environment caused by food production, the most comprehensive analysis to date has concluded. [...] it turned out that what was eaten was far more important ... than where and how it was produced." theguardian.com/environment/20…

People who follow a plant-based diet account for 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those who eat more than 3.5 ounces of meat a day, according to new research. A vegan diet also results in significantly less harm to land, water and biodiversity. nyti.ms/3OmbsFE
