There are several religions which have dietary habits based on their scriptures. For example, Islamists and Jews refuse to eat pork because Moses was told by God that these animals are unclean. There is also the fact that these animals have cloven hooves to take into consideration. For similar reasons, Jews will not eat any type of shell fish, or creatures with fins or scales.
Hindus won't eat cows as they are considered sacred for several reasons. Cows are important as milk producers, as work animals or beasts of burden. The primary reason is that all life is sacred and because they also believe in reincarnation, the cows' spiritual process of evolution will be altered. The cow may be reborn as a human in a later life.
Buddhists are completely vegetarian as they also believe in reincarnation. The eating of any living creature will alter its spiritual evolution.
To a certain extent some Christian clergy, particularly contemplative monks and nuns will not eat meat or fish of any kind as one of the many acts of self-denial they impose upon themselves.

∙ 12y agoWell, the Jewish faith is built a bit like Christianity in that they believe in God, only they have always been waiting for a 'Messiah' and when Jesus came to earth, they didn't believe he was the one. Therefore while the christians were set free from the rules and regulations Jesus set beofore he came like not eating pork and other 'unclean animals' that were needed at that time for safety reasons that we only realize now; the Jews have to still keep to those because they are still waiting for thier 'Messiah' which is why their belief has a big deal to do with what they eat. Hope this helps! :-)

∙ 11y agoThe only ones I know of are Lent, where there is a Jewish fasting for a certain time period (often followed up by a feastly gorging after 9pm), then there is the Muslim method of blessing food before it is cooked or eaten. This is known as Halal and it is usually the meat that is blessed. Some Asian and European cultures have similar fasting and food blessing practices.
