Wonder why the tap water in NYC is so tasty? There are shrimp in the water. NYC is not required to filter their water due to the fact that it is above the federal standards for drinking water. This poses a problem... Those of the Jewish faith only eat things that are kosher. These tiny shrimp are categorized as crustaceans, which puts them under the label of un-kosher. From this article, it seems that some of the people who are a part of the Jewish faith are not happy based on this quote:
"In a 2004 article in The Jewish Press, Rabbi David Berger, a professor of history at the City University Graduate Center, said, "The notion that God would have forbidden something that no one could know about for thousands of years, thus causing wholesale, unavoidable violation of the Torah, offends our deepest instincts about the character of both the Law and its Author."
This article may seem superficial at first glance, but if you dig deeper,through my own interpretation, the rights of some people may be being violated. What to do? Should the NYC water department take ALL people of their city into account? I think so!
