Islam....\n\nMuslims are not allowed to eat pork, or any other animal that eat meat like dogs, snakes, lion.\n\nElephants are not allowed.\n\nAllowed animals are like cow, goat, sheep, chicken, deers, turkey (rabbits are controversial)\n\nAs for marine animals, all fishes with scales are allowed.\nSome sects of Islam consider all fishes allowed.\n\nLobsters and crabs are controversial.\n\nAlcohol and other inoxicated drinks are forbidden.\n\nOne thing should be noted that the allowed animals have to be slaughtered in an islamic way and fulfill the conditions (halaal) like slaughtering with least pain, facing Mecca, mentioning the name of God.....\n\nHope this helps.

It is entirely legal. There are no laws that restrict the personal diets of people, may they be in private or in public.

During this month all Muslims are to fast from sunrise to sunset, they cannot to eat or drink. One must maintain a clean mind and body by purifying oneself.  This is to atone one self and feel what it is like to do without. If one can not fast for a day they must feed the needy.\n\nAt the end of the month Muslims are to sacrifice a lamb or other animal and it is given to the poor. Many in today’s world have a hard time with fasting because of temptation.

It can be very difficult to practice a religion different than a country's state religion or predominant religion. For example, as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, we could not teach Muslims because of the repercussions they could have if they joined another religion and decided to return to their home country. I knew a man from Bangladesh that wanted to find out more about our religion. We wanted to teach him but could not because he was Muslim.

because of the caffeine content in coffee, some teas, and some sodas- it is forbidden to use such "stimulants"\n\nand it has not been forgotten with the new testament- it has more so adapted to more hygienic treatment of animal products through the years- it used to be very unsafe to eat meat, especially certain cuts of meat or meat of questionable origins, that's why there were so many dietary restrictions- some people still hold fast to their dietary beliefs while others have changed with the times

MainWorry I thank Jesus and His Holy Mother Mary for answers like yours. \n\nJesus protects us from evil and if God is with us who can be against us.\n\nEvil cannot affect us. If we eat poison unknowlingly but bless the food first nothing will happen to us. \n\nThank you for your question DrTroup!

Vegetarian food only. Pythagoras belonged to a cult which was very strict and allowed only vegetarian food.

It's up to your diocese (your bishop).  If you check with any parish priest in your area, he can probably tell you what the rule is there.  In my diocese, we're only allowed to eat meat on the 17th if we're at a Church-sponsored St. Patrick's Day meal.

You can eat chocolate and drink pop. Mormons cannot drink coffee, or tea, because of all the caffeine. But soda is not forbidden, but discouraged. Chocolate is not even mentioned, you can have all you want.

It depends what you mean by starving, and for how long.\n\nMany religions practice limited starving, or fasting, for the purpose of trying to increase ones mental or spiritual will.\n\nBut long term would be murder. lol

Actually the Bible only condemns certain foods for Jewish people, later in the New Testament it says that all things are cleansed by God's grace with the giving of thanks. Basically the premeal prayer

Both the Bible and the Qur’an prohibit the eating of pork. Muslims are aware of this prohibition and observe it strictly. However, most readers of the Bible say they do not know where they can find this in the Bible.\n\n      In the book of Leviticus, chapter 11, v. 7, it is recorded that God declares the pig to be unclean for believers. Then, in verse 8, God says: “You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.” This command is repeated in Deuteronomy 14:7-8. Then, in Isaiah 65:2-4, and 66:17, God issues a stern warning against those who eat pork.\n\n      Some people are aware of this prohibition from God, but they say that they can eat pork because St. Paul said that all food is clean in his letter to the Romans 14:20. St. Paul said this because he believed (as he wrote in his letter to the Ephesians 2:14-15) that Jesus had abolished the Law with all its commandments and regulations. He seems, however, to have misunderstood what he heard about Jesus. In the Gospel According to Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus is reported to have said quite the contrary, as follows: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law . . . ." \n\n      Jesus then went on in that passage (in verse 19) to denounce anyone who would break the smallest commandment and teach others likewise. He also praised his true followers who will practice and teach even the smallest commandment. One of the commandments, as we have seen, is to stay away from pork.\n\n      This is why the true followers of Jesus, holding on to his teachings, did not let unclean food such as pork enter their mouths, so that Peter, the chief disciple, can say, “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean” (Acts of the Apostles, ch. 10, v. 14)\n\n      Five chapters later in the Acts of the Apostles, 15:29, we find that the original disciples still differentiate between clean and unclean foods, and this time Paul is in agreement with them. Six chapters later, in ch. 21, v. 25, their decision to impose food regulations on believers is mentioned without regret, and this time Paul is challenged to prove that he is in agreement with them; and he demonstrated his full agreement with them.\n\n      What remains, then, is that Jesus, on whom be peace, upheld the prohibition against pork. His disciples also upheld it, and so must all his followers. Those who fail to uphold it need to be informed and reminded of this rule from God. This is one reason why God sent His final messenger, on whom be peace. God says:\n\n      “O people of the Scripture ! Now has Our Messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now has come unto you light from Allah and a plain Scripture.” (The Meaning of the Glorious Qur’an 5:15)

My Pastor says you should pray before every meal, especially when you go out to eat 'cause you have no idea what the people who prepared the food did or are like. Besides, it's Biblical. Here's what the Apostle Paul said about eating different foods.\n\n"Because every creature of God is good, and not one is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.  1 Timothy 4:4-5

Not sure why this is under religion and spirituality. We went out to eat, being lured in by a promise of them serving shrimp, only to find they didn't really have any. They had white meat turkey but no dark meat.
