Regarding Scott Orshan's claim to be kosher,

well . . .

You only count as kosher if you were killed properly, specifically
by being bled to death by a sliced (using a flint knife, if you want
to be really particular) throat, generally across the jugular.
(ooh, gross, what a just grody idea, gag me with a fork, ohmcgaaawhd)

Also, I believe there are other requirements too, regarding the
way you have to be cooked.  At some point, a ritual purification
using properly blessed rocksalt is required for some things.  I
am not sure, not being orthodox (nor Jewish) about when this is
required.

However, I don't think there is any explicit mention anywhere in
the Books of the Law that makes human flesh trafe (anti-kosher).
Would tend to disrupt things for those of us who are Christians
to have the ritual of Communion be unclean, I guess.
