Not just kosher, but spiritual too

Regarding “Feed the Soul, Trim the Fat” (July 10) on spiritual diets: They are not new at all!

We Jews have the original spiritual diet, namely kosher. This diet is still in effect and is probably the one Jesus would follow if he was as good a Jew as they say he was. To make any food even more spiritual, remember to say the appropriate bracha (blessing) prior to eating.
