"Kosher pork" (aka goose) OK'd in Israel

(CBS/AP) 

JERUSALEM - "Kosher pork" may now be on the menu for observant Jews.

The office of Israel's chief rabbi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger said that imports of an organic goose grown in Spain that tastes like pork have been approved.

Metzger said three non-Jewish chefs confirm its swinish flavor.

Jewish dietary law strictly forbids eating pork.

Metzger's office said there is no Jewish injunction against eating goose, no matter what it tastes like, as long as it is slaughtered according to Jewish ritual.

Secular Israelis have long enjoyed pork at non-kosher restaurants, and can purchase it at non-kosher stores, but some communities ban its sale. There have also been protests at some stores that sell pork. (In 2007 a deli in Netanya was set on fire.)

"Kosher pork" would open new culinary opportunities for the observant.

Spokesman Avi Blumenthal said Metzger is eager to begin imports as soon as the geese reach slaughtering weight. He said the rabbi would see that it passes "all the rabbinical kosher authorities to make sure it gets to Israel."

I've nothing else to say, except I can never watch the following in quite the same light ever again - and trust me, that's saying something:

Especially by the time you reach 1:04, that's all I've got to say...

If goose pluralized is geese,
then plural for moose must be meese,
and singular for cheese must be choose.
Also, if plural for mouse is mice, and plural for louse is lice,
then singular for twice must be ...
...once.

To sum it all up, religion and religious reasoning is such grand waste of time, and must be oxymoronic.

To murder and die for religion is the epitome of man's weakness, gullibility and ability to be duped!
