Daas~ I think you’re being unnecessarily harsh with oomis. I think she was speaking of having sholom here, & ‘live & let live’, of course within the bounds of halacha. IMHO
I never tried to stop anyone from eating anywhere, nor do I look down at anyone who eats in a Subway. I have my opinions about why it’s not the best thing; if someone agrees with me, fine. If not, also fine. It bothers me, though, that some people seem to feel that I have no right to express my opinions in a public forum such as this one if it’s more stringent than theirs.
Daas. Why not? I don’t have an opinion either way since I have no hashkafic issue with a Subway that has a hechsher.
If you’re asking why I have an issue with Subway and not with fixing clothing, it’s because I get the feeling (and I know I could be wrong) that the main appeal of a kosher Subway, KFC or McDonalds is that now we can “be like the goyim”. We should be happy enough with our own identity as Yidden. Fixing clothing is not related to this.
Does it bother you whenn going up the aisles of a heimishe grocery that you see “stickers” on malt o meal cereals, hersheys twizzlers, mike and ikes candies and dozens of other products?
No
