If you're ever wondering "why is food X kosher/okay for lent/halal and not food Y" the answer is usually medieval rules lawyers.

Ah, so it used to be a lot more nuanced, but now everybody just says it's no meat and overlooks the weirdness. Fish is great, good on'em

It's not in any regard a sin to be shot with pork bullets. That's just another way for Europeans to obsess about bacon.

GreyjoyBastard posted:See also, Iranian caviar being spontaneously declared un-haram in the 90s Same thing with fish, actually. Fisheries in England did well because there were so many meatless feast days. Then Henry VIII started his own church with blackjack and hookers and only papist scum ate fish and all the fisheries went to poo poo because there was no more demand. After he died they decided "well okay, fish is for Fridays" and the fisheries did okay again.

See, this is how right-wing rhetoric works: The whole "vegetarian dining hall" thing was a carbon-footprint experiment, not an attempt to force people to be vegetarians. However, this thread, secret cia marxist plot headquarters, just spent pages debating whether or not it was okay to force people to be vegetarians.

DemeaninDemon posted:Meat ship, cooked, looked like an abortion. Bacon on that turkey will turn into coal hours before the stuffing (WHY?!) even broke 100°F. 3 or 4 good sized strips of bacon on a turkey can help crisp the skin and the rendered fat will help keep the meat moist but an entire weave is ridiculous overkill. Butter is better on turkey than bacon anyway.

Butter is better on turkey than bacon anyway. I just cover the skin in bacon and then do the Alton Brown method which gives the most juicy turkey possible. Debate talk: The real winner was the proper use of social media to call out the 9/11 masturbation.

Supposedly baby goats were boiled in their mother goat's milk as sacrifice to a Canaanite fertility god, and God said don't do that. To be safe, rabbis took it as a recommendation not to eat meat and dairy within the same meal, and since fish can't produce milk to boil baby fish in, fish are considered neutral, or "parve." Eggs are also parve, as well as water. Similarly, Canaanites supposedly used wine for bad reasons. As such, kosher wine must be bottled by Jews, thus Manischewitz. A lot of Jewish law is about deterring assimilation, a force considered tantamount to genocide.

I really hate that the glorified grape juice that is Manischewitz is what's associated with kosher wine. There actually is wine out there that is both kosher and good, like Herzog Special Reserve.

I mean it's easy enough to fall for that rumor - the KKK's demonstrated on campus more than a few times, and I can see some dumbass frat boys either claiming they're from the KKK or spreading the rumor just to mess with the activists.

Luigi Thirty posted:The prohibition is technically against eating the flesh of warm-blooded animals and fish are deemed to be cold-blooded. You can eat anything fitting that standard but eating fish is customary thanks to the reality of medieval food preparation (salt fish kept well) and medieval rules lawyering. There's another school of thought (unrelated to catholicism) that anything without a face is fair game, otherwise don't eat it. I'm pretty sure that only leaves eggs and also means no shrimp  Kellsterik posted:This is a time for milennials to step up, take ownership, and sacrifice for their country.

To be fair, all I have left are vague memories of George Bush looking loving sweet in a flight suit giving a ballin' rear end speech under a huge "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" sign, so I'm pretty sure things worked out just fine. I think it was on an aircraft carrier, but it could have been on top of a really tall building or like maybe a dock somewhere; one that was like all industrial and cool. Lotta candy colored people about too, if memory serves.

Maybe these no good, ungrateful, not constantly afraid of terrorism millennials need some sort system to let them know threatened they should feel by terrorists. Maybe color code it and tell them how terrified we should be with broad and meaningless 'levels' of implied danger to help stoke a spiraling persecution complex and feverish, revenge filled fantasies. Then they can be less concerned with 'unnecessary surveillance' and 'civil liberties' and can start focusing on the real issue: how we are hated for our freedoms.
