Tom,

If you wish to present your point in a more balanced light, it would
be best not to quote from the La Voz de Aztlan site.  Any site that
superimposes a swastika on top of the Israeli flag could not be
considered unbiased.  (Look down the left side of the site.)  I'm not
sure why La Voz de Aztlan, The Voice of Alta California (California in
the U.S.), devotes much of it's site to anti-Israeli articles.

A major corporation having its product designated as kosher is the
same as a major corporation having its product designated as organic: 
It's just a business decision.  And that corporation is going to
charge you the maximum amount it can no matter what its expenses are. 
So if that hamburger or can of peaches costs $1.00 with the kosher
label, it would be the same $1.00 without the label.  Are the
corporations being ripped-off to have the ability to put a kosher
label on their product?  I'd say yes.  But it's not a tax, a tax is
imposed by the government.  And if the corporation wishes to spend
their money in this fashion as basically advertising, it's theirs to
with as they see profitable.  I don't see why it concerns you or La
Voz de Aztlan unless you are shareholders in the corporation.
