Kosher Meat – What’s Old is News

      No Comments on Kosher Meat – What’s Old is News

By Sean Graham

This week I talk with John M. Efron, author of All Consuming: Germans, Jews, and the Meaning of Meat. We discuss the relationship between Jewish culture and meat consumption, the unique relationship between Germans culture and Jewish meat, and how that has been depicted over the years. We also chat about the cultural significance of meat and meat production, displays of anti-Semitism related to meat and meat production, and the current discussions surrounding Kosher and Halal meat in Germany.

Historical Headline of the Week

James McAuley, “Why Halal meat generates so much controversy in Europe,” Washington Post, October 8, 2018.
