MsPrincess: Yes, it’s normal to be uninterested in arguments between people who have no idea what they’re talking about, who will pay no heed to you when you do know what you’re talking about.
Point is, the OU either hechshered something that’s against federal law and provides no benefit, or they hechshered something that needs no hechsher just to make a statement or make some money. The argument quickly and predictably turned into a marijuana argument. As for the initial post, has anyone denied that this was a bit low for the OU to do?
