Before David Minton was kind enough to explain what Glatt was all about
to us non-Jews, I went and googled that concept and found a rather
detailed article about it. Maybe this will explain it better to you:

http://www.kashrut.com/articles/glatt/

BTW, the similarities between German and Yiddish never cease to amaze
me. "Glatt" is also German for "smooth"...

so, Jewish Vegan is "Glatt?"

wait -- i'm confused. The lungs are Kosher, but the animal is vegan?

no, thats not quite right...

perhaps these smooth-lunged vegans would care to clarify how eating meat
is
Kosher? I saw a vegetarian eating Glatt the other day and they seemed
okay.
