Let me start with a caveat: I am not Orthodox and am not qualified to 
discourse in detail on the history of the laws of kashruth.  The basic 
laws are set forth in the Torah, and the interpretations of how they are to 
be implemented are in the Talmud, which was codified long before the 
16th century.  The _Shulkhan Arukh_, a Jewish legal handbook which 
was (and still is) one of the most significant textbooks of Orthodox 
Jewish practice, was compiled in the mid-14th century.  (I hope that 
someone more knowledgeable than I can correct this, if I am mistaken.)

Your statement about "goyiem" [sic] is not correct.  Goyim does NOT 
mean "cattle".  It is the plural of the Hebrew word "goy" meaning 
"nation. " "Goyim" (ie., the nations of the world) is the traditional Hebrew 
way of referring to non-Jews.  "Gentiles" is the usual English translation. 
 If you search in a good search engine like Google, you *will* find a few 
websites that state that "goyim" means "cattle".  Most of those 
websites belong to vehemently anti-semitic organizations, like the 
Posse Comitatus, Stormfront White Pride Worldwide, and Aryan 
Nations.  Not surprising, since that particular mistranslation is straight 
out of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a 19th century forgery 
written by Czarist secret police which purports to be the blueprint of the 
Zionist plan to take over the world.

I very much hope that you have quoted this misinformation because you 
were ignorant of its falseness and its hateful source.
