How does religion affect the food you can eat?

Answer 1

Many religions have dietary restrictions--Hindus often don't eat meat; Jews and Muslims usually don't eat pork. Jews traditionally don't mix milk and meat in the same dish (no pepperoni Pizza!!). Avoiding meat usually removes religious restrictions of food. Some Vaishnavas (an Indian-based sect) also do not eat garlic, onions, mushrooms, or eggs.

Answer 2

Some religions have dietary restrictions. Here are a few examples although it is just a sample--

Judaism has kosher laws that forbid the eating of pork, non-fish seafoods, the mixing of meat and dairy products in the same meal; mammals with certain types of hoofs.

Islam has laws permitting foods classified as halal--pork and alcohol are fobidden.

Most Hindus are vegetarian and most do not eat cattle; cows are considered sacred.

Certain branches of Indian religions also do not eat eggs, fungi, or onionlike vegetables

Answer 3

This largely depends on which religion is being practiced. Some religions have food restrictions, while others don't. There are literally hundreds of religions with food considerations, so it would be too much to include here. However, common restrictions include certain meats (or all meats), certain vegetables (or classes of vegetables), and there are even a few religions that require certain foods.
