Am I the only one that much prefers iceberg?
Iceberg lettuce has about the same nutritional content as water.

I love water!
I'm an optimist; but only because life isn't going to give me any other good choices.

Was waiting for this to happen. Either merge with the halacha thread or have its own. Should also be mentioned in the popcorn thread as something with slight potential.

AFAIK they posted tons of signs on the one fridge saying that it's Cholov Stam, I don't see anything wrong with that

Seems that you never send kids to shop for you.

Well, my kids aren't old enough for that. I would tell my kid to only buy specific companies if I thought they're not old enough to understand posters about Cholov Stam.

Besides, the Cholov Stam fridge is near the freezers and has a relatively small selection while the Cholov Yisroel is on the opposite end of the refrigerator dept and has a much larger selection (at least last time I've been there). My kid would probably buy cheese that's next to the eggs and orange juice.

Still worse than selling strawberries in Lakewood.

I don't necessarily see the issue with them selling strawberries in Lakewood, but I'm gonna disagree with your statement. A kid might not know that there's an issue with fresh strawberries, since they probably have frozen strawberries at home, whereas Cholov Stam is packaged differently and they wouldn't get a different type of yogurt or cheese without their Mother's permission.

I happen to personally clean and eat strawberries, but I still disagree with you. For those who believe that it's impossible to fully clean strawberries, you're dealing with issur of tolaim, which includes multiple issurei d'oraisa, and that's undoubtedly much worse than chalav stam

My point being that cholov stam has no way of being "cleaned", and with all the new labels, types and companies of cheeses and yogurts etc. it's easily confused with cholov yisroel. Strawberries, OTOH are either off limits in those homes that maintain that they cannot be checked, and in the houses where they are checked generally everyone knows that it is something that can't be eaten before xyz is done to it.

Re strawberries: with the top taken off, the entire peel taken off (get big/huge strawberries), and cut in the middle to check that sliver hole...whatever leftover flesh remains is yummy.  Alternatively, just puree them whole and you are good to go. (check with LOR)  The removing peel was substituted for soaking in soapy water a few years ago because of increased infestation.

As true as it is, it always makes me laugh that we don't mind eating bugs if they're all ground up.
