Extemely Important Kashrut Article

A More Reliable Kosher Label by Julie Gruenbaum Fax (hi Julie!) in The Jewish Journal Of Greater Los Angeles.

This is a very very important article about the Half-Moon K.

Basically, the Half-Moon K has been the equivalent to Lard in the eyes of the kosher consumer (the consumers who buy and the consumers who eat). The article explains that the new Rav in charge of the Half-Moon knows that the symbol has been worthless till now and is diligently trying to improve it.

Thus, we now know that: (a) the symbol was justifiably under suspicion and not just because of 'politics' & (b) that it will soon be accepted

Yay.
