Gregory's Server@dave0 contextually this makes sense. Because while everyone is free to practice whatever religion they choose, they don't have the right to impose their religion on me. Therefore, I do not have the authority to determine for the cow whether or not they are kosher. That is their choice. That being said, I don't like tripe and I'm not going to eat it, whether it's kosher or not.
@CoachJZ "kosher" doesn't mean "Jewish", though. Nor "bad". It just means "can't be eaten by religious Jews".
What religion something (or someone) is has no bearing on whether my own religion¹ regards them as edible or not². Jewish dietary law doesn't apply to whether non-Jews should or shouldn't eat animals (or people³).
1: former religion, I'm atheist, but you get the idea.
2: humans are, universally, not kosher.
3: but please do not eat people in any case. For a number of reasons best enumerated elsewhere.
