"Descendants of this immigrant woman, you do not grow up in America, you and your children and their children with the goyishe names. You live in America. No such place exists. Your clay is the clay of some Litvak shtetl, your air the air of the steppes--because she carried the old world on her back across the ocean, in a boat, and she put it down on Grand Concourse Avenue, or in Flatbush, and she worked that earth into your bones, and you pass it to your children, this ancient, ancient culture and home." --Angels In America, Tony Kushner.

Goysher

A 100% Kosher Diet, but for the Goyim or in the case of the individual; Goy/Gentile.

Usually a Kosher diet is one that is outlined for the Chosenites; Kosher foods are those that conform to the Jewish dietary regulations of kashrut (dietary law), primarily derived from Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

The Goyim should adhere to this diet to ensure good health and fitness. The Jew wont cause detriment to themselves, so why would you?
Bro, dude Kyle, almost every grocery store you shop at is Kosher approved, you should totally be on the Goysher diet too!
