22nd Annual Contra Costra Jewish Book and Arts Festival presents:
Kosher Nation: Why More and More of America's Food Answers to a Higher Authority
About the lecture: Sue Fishkoff, a regular contributor to The Jerusalem Post and Moment magazine, will present a captivating account of the Bible-based practice that has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry. Journeying from America to Shanghai, she discovers who produces Kosher food, who certifies it, and why 85% of the 11.2 million Americans who regularly buy Kosher are not even Jews—they are Muslims, Seventh-Day Adventists, vegetarians, people with food allergies, and consumers who want food that "answers to a Higher Authority."
