And What is Shechita?

Life in Israel has a fantastic post about shechita, the Jewish way of slaughtering animals.

Nowadays when it's a rare housewife who knows how to salt the meat, and it's also so easy to "disassociate" the idea that those plastic-wrapped slabs were once part of a living, breathing animal, I found Rafi's post, Shechita: trash talk, amazingly informative.
