Не сильно интересуясь этим вопросом, всегда думал, что слово "kosher" не может стоять на чипсах, газировке, большинству того, что в типичных магазинах, по определению. Года три, как в не покупал орехи, в прошлом арахисовые, а теперь в металлической банке с вкусным содержимым, слегка напоминающем смесь всех веществ из таблицы Менделеева. Удивило то, что написано на банке Kosher Parve. Это содержимое банки якобы из натуральных ингредиентов, или слово "kosher" или близко не синоним выражению "скорее всего, не такое уж и вредное"?
Спасибо.
In short:
- "natural" and "organic" are keywords that are typically associated with things you can safely eat (so called "healthy" foods)
- "kosher" has a very weak correlation to "healthy foods", if any at all.
PS: Instead of discussing healthiness the "kosher" things (a gimmic to sell just another type of expensive commercial junk), I would rather read sources like this one and make conclusions for yourself:

For example:
There is also convincing evidence that choosing processed meat increases the chances of colorectal cancer. The expert panel advises limiting red meat and avoiding processed meat. Studies show we can eat up to 18 ounces a week of red meat without raising cancer risk. Research on processed meat shows cancer risk starts to increase with any portion.
- Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
- Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
- Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods (particularly processed foods high in added sugar, or low in fiber, or high in fat).
- Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans.
- Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats.
- If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day.
- Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium).
- Don't use supplements to protect against cancer.
Special Population Recommendations
- It is best for mothers to breastfeed exclusively for up to 6 months and then add other liquids and foods.
- After treatment, cancer survivors should follow the recommendations for cancer prevention.
And always remember – do not smoke or chew tobacco.
