More on how to understand the mishnah -- and whether the level of sanctity raised there is potentially really that of terumah, or perhaps that of sacrificial offerings (and how that would be determined).

[Who's Who: Ullah] Also, what happens if a person eats impure food? Well, first, how impure is the food?
