1101.0. "Blessing over food" by DECSIM::HAMAN::GROSS (The bug stops here) Thu Sep 05 1991 21:06

I've been thinking (smell of burning sawdust :-). If it is a mitzva to eat
kosher food, why is there not a blessing before eating that mentions this
mitzva explicitly?

    Hey, Dave, just what have you been eating lately, anyhow???
    
    Of course everything was in fact kosher, right?

1101.2A fast way to get to 100 Brochas a day :-)TAVENG::MONTYM. Sagal ISEDA/I (DTN - 882 3477)Fri Sep 06 1991 13:1110
    My first thought on the subject was 
    	Is it really a mitzva to eat Kosher food, or is there an injunction
    	*against* eating non-kosher food.
    
    Now if you are advocating making a brocha everytime you obey an
    injunction .... I suspect we'll be making brocahs all the time 
    	(murder, robbery, false witness, adultury .... :-) :-)
    
    Happy New Year.
