So what?
And it is clearly a service, not a "service".
Unless you'd like to actually make an argument otherwise.

Not alt.Kosher certification.

No. But what is your point? Do you attach some special significance to the

manufacturer would seek it?

No he doesn't. There is nothing about Kosher certification that has any
relationship to what Jesse Jackson does.
