Kashrut is the name for the system of rules for what food is kosher and what food is not. These rules include such things as a strict prohibition on the mixing of milk and meat (or things derived from milk and meat) in the same meal, rules for which animals may be eaten and how to slaughter them, and special rules that apply during Passover to products made with bread grains (wheat, oats, barley, rye, spelt) or that may be confused with bread grains.
It's important because God commanded it (Deuteronomy ch.14).
The rules of haram (in Islam) and kashrut (in Judaism) are religious in nature, not scientific.
Not really. Perhaps it made the Ancient Greeks happy that they did not keep kosher and could go on eating pork. Other than that, kashrut served as a disincentive for Greeks to consider converting to Judaism.
If you're referring to Judaism, you can't really make a microwave kosher if non-kosher food has been prepared in it. FYI, Yahweh is a Christian term for their God, it has nothing to do with Judaism and kashrut.
Judaism is the religion associated with kosher food. The basis of kashrut arelocated in the Tanach which is the Jewish Bible.People of all religions worldwide, as well as those who adhere to no religion,all eat some kosher food. Those who observe the practices of Judaism arecareful to avoid eating foods that are not kosher.
Kosher food is a part of Judaism. Food that is prepared and served following the laws of kashrut is kosher and may be eaten by religiously observant Jews.
Pork is just one of countless animals that are considered to be not fit for consumption in Judaism. The requirement for mammals, according to kashrut (dietary law), is that they have both split hooves AND chew their cud. Any animal that doesn't meet these two requirements can't be used for food according to kashrut. Additionally, in the list of animals not allowed in the Torah, pigs are actually at the bottom of the list.
There is no prohibition against eating meat in Judaism other than the requirements set out in the dietary laws called 'kashrut'. In fact, there is a minhag (tradition) of specifically eating meat during Shabbat (the Sabbath).

Anyone can eat kosher food. However, kashrut is a part of Judaism and religiously observant Jews will only eat kosher food. Kosher food is food prepared in accordance with Jewish Dietary Law. Many products sold in stores are certified kosher, so many times you will be eating kosher food without realising it. Kosher products are marked with a symbol that is associated with the organisation that provided the kashrut certification.
Bacalhau can be kosher if it's made following the rules of kashrut. If it's commercially made, it would have to be certified kosher by a recognized kashrut organization.
Kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws, govern the preparation and consumption of food for Jew. There is no conflict between kashrut and preparing food for diabetics.
