A rabbi I knew told me that Kashrut was G-d’s way of protecting His people in the days before modern sanitation & refrigeration, but that keeping kosher nowadays is still a worthy spiritual exercise for staying focused on G-d’s will.

He went on to cite Maimonides’ observation that the Law was never intended to interfere with human life. If nonkosher food is all stands between survival and death by starvation, the rebbe said by all means choose the former.

Wonder how difficult it would be to offer kosher items at Chick Fil-A? A Jewish friend told me once she traveled to Atlanta to buy Pepperidge Farms frozen chicken certified kosher. A portion of the CF-A kitchen under rabbinical supervision? Not unfeasable, IMO.

It really needs to be all-or-nothing kosher for most who keep kosher.

So no bacon-wrapped egg.

Milkshakes may have to go, too, although given the disposable nature of the utensils, there may be a work-through here.

I think the only way to do it is the same way they do it on airplanes. Get the whole thing manufactured in kosher facility, wrapped in several layers of cellophane with all of the necessary rabbinical seals. It would probably be best to have a dedicated microwave just for said items. This means the whole meal is downgraded to Denny's/Swanson level, but kosher!
