Thank You KosherEye

We are delighted to share a Thank You email from one of our readers. We are sharing this because we are thrilled that our story "made a difference" in someone's life.

"I just wanted to write a thank-you for your "A Kosher Chicken in Every Pot" segment. I have been a vegetarian for nearly half a decade and I am looking to go back to eating some meat for health reasons. I knew I wanted organic and humanely produced chicken, so I naturally looked to kosher products.

I really wanted some honest reviews of the kosher meats, which were not from self-promoting companies or frowning PETA supporters. I felt you did an educated report on some major kosher companies and offered a first person perspective on whether they met your standards.

It was a very appreciated article, thank you for helping me choose kosher foods! "
