The dangers of pork
Cato:
I'd still recommend condoms over circumcision as a way of avoiding syphilis.
Fortis:
If a non-Jew avoids eating meat, fish, eggs, onion, garlic, mushrooms, fermented products (including yeast, all year round) coffee, tea and chocolate, are they actually keeping kosher without realising it?
I am only asking because this is the diet recommended to yoga practioners, and it is known as the 'satvik' diet in India.

Mushrooms, like all fungi, store carboydrates as glycogen, and do not have cellulose cell walls. In the opinion of most independent taxonomists that places them firmly as animals.

How interesting. In any case, I just avoid them as they are dirty to me.

I am vegan and of course I eat mushrooms too. They don't taste like anything from the animal kingdom, well granted there may be some resemblance to shell fish and jellyfish but I don't expect these to taste the same too.
Anyway mushrooms compose a different kingdom of life- not Animal and not Plant.
