Some people criticize those who keep mehadrin for trying to be "frummer than thou", and there are those who boast about the fact they keep mehadrin. There are flaws with both.

I found it explained difficult issues in a very clear, practical way. Im wondering if you would be interested in addressing the issue of "ethical kashrut": specifically with regards to food additives, colourings and preservatives which are known to be highly dangerous to children. They are not only not yet banned in Israel (as they are in many european countries) but are extremely prevalent and what's worse, most of the offending products manage to acquire BADATZ EDA CHAREDIT hechshers!!!! I just don't understand it, and I'm sure your readers would be interested and have a lot to say about it!!!! There are many other issues that fall under the banner of "ethical kashrut" such as animal treatment, cigarettes etc.... but for now I'm asking about this area. Looking forward to getting some phone numbers to start putting the pressure.... Thank you for including this very informative article.
