Why is it so hard to find non kosher pickles?

The best example I know that gives insights into the functioning of a complex system is with the following situation. It suffices for an intransigent minority –a certain type of intransigent minorities –to reach a minutely small level, say three or four percent of the total population, for the entire population to have to submit to their preferences. Further, an optical illusion comes with the dominance of the minority: a naive observer would be under the impression that the choices and preferences are those of the majority.

That is why most mass produced food and drink is marked either kosher or halal these days. Good luck finding any that isn't.

Check the refrigerated pickle isle over the room temp pickle isle. I can usually find better pickles there.

And there are so many kosher pickles because they refer to the salt they use to make the pickles. Kosher salt has a bigger grain and no additives compared to your common table salt.

Kosher salt has a bigger grain and no additives compared to your common table salt.

The only real "additive" in table salt is iodine, which is an essential element in healthy body function. It's in salt these days because they replaced it in bread with bromine, which is pretty much useless to your body by comparison.

TLDR: Use table salt with iodine, it's good for you. (((Kosher salt))) isn't.

I don’t think a asked about the difference. I asked why it’s so hard to find not kosher.

But thanks

Not many have taken the Pickle-pill. I doubt you could stomach it.

Kosher Pickles ... at least to me is an oxymoron as pickles are not meat... Mixing up the Nazarene oath with pickles is how you got pickles without "wine vinegar"... Ignore this unless you're a Nazarene

Officially, genuine kosher pickles are naturally fermented in a salt brine (usually from kosher salt) and flavored with garlic. It has been speculated that one reason for the use of salt over vinegar is that vinegar poses various kashrut concerns since, for example, it can come from wine, which has special kosher considerations.

Nowadays, it seems that many companies do add vinegar to their “kosher pickles.” In fact, according to the USDA’s database of products,4 some companies don’t even add garlic (or at least a significant amount of it) to their “kosher pickles.” So some of these “kosher pickles,” while they may actually be certified as kosher to eat, are not genuine “kosher pickles”.

FUCKIN JEWS gotta complicate something as simple as pickles, wtf..
