Unfortunately, one never knows if some chemical additives of food may come from pork......
I wonder if Jews could make Kashrut open, and kosher food widely available to Gentiles, so it is sold in every food stores.
Perhaps it's forbidden.....????? After all, one of the benefits of Kashrut for Judaism is keeping Jews and Gentiles separated and avoid they eat together, lest it increases the possibility of assimilation....
--- End quote ---
Yea but even Kosher food, a Jew should not really partake with a gentile, because of the reason of assimilation. Thats why during Purim even though the food and wine was 100% kosher the Jews were allmost annihilated (their was a decree made agains't them), because they participated the Ahashverosh's party, etc.
--- End quote ---
Well, you also have to remember what the reason for Achashverosh's party was. But you are correct, and the law of Pas Yisroel came from this. (Also some poskim hold that commercial products today aren't applicable)

What's the difference between Kosher salt (NaCl) and non Kosher salt (NaCl)?
--- End quote ---
All salt is Kosher the reason why it is called "Kosher Salt" is because even after the the Animal had been slautered it is not kosher until the Blood is removed entirelly and Salt removes the blood
--- End quote ---
I don't understand how you can remove all the animal's blood.
I don't think it's possible to remove all of the animal's blood perfectly.
So, some blood is still there.
Ever heard of kosher pork or kosher ham?
Many years ago I heard of a Jewish couple in Brooklyn, NY having a wedding
and on the menu besides the cake is sushi and kosher ham.
The rabbi said that they drained all of the pig's blood, so now its kosher.
--- End quote ---
Must of been reform. Pig is not kosher now.
And your right not all of the blood is removed, but the majority is, and the one that remains is allowed. 1 thing though, using kosher salt 72 hours after the animal has been slaughtered is not good and wont remove that blood. Right after (within 72 hours, unless they freeze it- might give them more, they (the slaughteres) themselves have to remove the blood. And thats why authentic Glatt Kosher places will do that, and one of the reason why "regular" kosher is in fact not really kosher (as meat is concerned).

On a different note, what makes cheese kosher and unkosher?
--- End quote ---
Rennet, which is used to harden cheese, is often taken from non-kosher animals...
--- End quote ---
What if rennet comes from a kosher animal? It's still a mixture of meat and cheese.
--- End quote ---
No, not really. It's an enzyme.

True, and I even heard this from a professor of mine when I asked him (after class) whats the difference between conservative and Orthodox Judasim (I know, but just wanted to see what he will say). He was talking and then he said that for example in Kashrut they allow chemicals (or whatever that is) that is made from meat to as an add on to cheese and they allow it as kosher.
After that I understood even more that we should watch out for the proper Kosher symbols even in cheese and things we might think is not that bad (like candy), and not rely on on our opinion and on so-called kosher standards which are not legit. Only buy from the legit Orthodox hechscherim.
