Not everyone is allowed to eat any food he likes. In most religions, there are dietary rules to follow. For example, Hindus have be vegetarians, and Muslims are not allowed to eat pork. Here we shall introduce some different dietary laws of religions.

Hinduism

The Hindu believes in the sacredness of all life, and that life should not be destroyed violently. Most Hindus follow a vegetarian diet, and the Brahmin priests take only vegetarian food prepared with clarified butter and abstain from alcohol and strong foods such as onions and garlic. They take the precautions to preserve the ritual and their ritual purity.

The Sacred Cow

In English, "a sacred cow" refers to something that is immune to criticism, often unreasonably. But the cow is regarded by Hindus as sacred, and it is a profound symbol to Hindus because it is milked and used in farms.

What religions have dietary laws?

Some religions with dietary laws include Judaism (Kosher), Islam (Halal), Hinduism (vegetarianism, avoidance of beef for some), and Sikhism (vegetarianism and prohibition against intoxicants). These dietary laws often have spiritual, cultural, and ethical significance for followers.


Why does each religion have food laws?

Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism all have dietary laws. In Islam, the rule is that all consumed food must be 'halal.' This means that meat must be slaughtered a certain way. Pork and anything with pig products (such as some gelatin) is never to be consumed. Judaism also forbids pork in their diets. Hindus abstain from alcohol and meat. Because Hindus believe in samsara (the cycle of reincarnation), they refrain from eating meat since it might be that of a reincarnated ancestor. In Buddhism, there are no set dietary laws. Some divisions of Buddhism emphasize not eating meat or pungent spices, such as onion and garlic. It is also advised that alcohol not be consumed.
