<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I understand it timtum halev means that
one's insight and intellect found in the heart are stuffed up and blocked
up</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So that Rambam in his letter about ressurrection
tells those who have doubts about it that they must have eaten non kosher meat
and that is why they have problems with emunah</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot see any connection to Bal Tashchis, there
is no timtum halev there</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There maybe sensitivity to wanton destruction, but
it doesnt damage your spiritual understanding or emunah the way treif meat
does</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are what you eat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition throwing out food that you cannot eat
due to kashrus reasons is not Bal Tashchis</FONT></DIV>
