It's not kosher

To assume that the Chinese know what kosher is or that the kosher mark makes the food product safer:
Kosher certification is the new darling of health-conscious consumers who misguidedly believe that biblically blessed health standards can reign in the excesses of commercial food production. Even Chinese exporters are betting that kosher certification can convince foreign consumers that their wares are safe. To companies, certification is just a marketing tool: it lends the aura of safety without offering any actual food safety benefits.
We will start thinking Chinese food products are safe when Chinese food producers stop putting toxic lead, pollutants, inedible items or poisonous chemicals in our food. It really is that simple.

While lying in your VA hospital bed and feeling ill

Be more assertive in beating off a persistent chaplain who notices you are an Orthodox Jew and decides you need to be converted.

While the staff decides you don't need kosher food.

Onward, Christian soldiers!
