I tend to deal with such supercilliousness with complete and utter ruthlessness. I can give you a few examples if you want. Far better to show them your teeth and make them think twice about trying the same line on the next vegetarian or vegan that they meat [sister in charge]!
What would be interesting would be if someone would just scientifically prove, or show evidence, that offering Bhog or kosherizing food made any difference. It is a wonder that the BKWSU with all its Millions does not risk applying itself to such fundimental proofs.
I have no doubt at all, in this industrialized meat market, that having a Rabbi at the end of a slaughterhouse conveyor belt doing magic makes no difference whatsoever to the blood drain cows and sheep, however it benefits their synagogue's bank balance. Have a look at your average foodstore shelves for foods with a K or Pareve mark, each from a different competing financial organization. Each one taxed by that religion.
But with the BKWSU, I would reckon that something is going on. It is obvious that putting the channelled entity Shiva before, and between, you and your body - or physical nourishment - is a big deal mentally. I am sure that something psychic goes on too but cannot qualify what. A Japanese scientist did some interesting work on vibrations in water, did anyone else see it? Dr. Masaru Emoto. Interestingly, he also says, "that the soul has mass". Something other researchers have also stated. Dead bodies weigh less than live ones.

Just how much effect the vibrations have, in what circumstances, really ought to be studied rather than just passed on superstitiously.
Do PBKs give their food dhristi? I believe the answer was no. When did that ritual come in?
