Fasting can be very severe. From dawn to dusk (or from the time it's possible to distinquish a white thread from a blue one) observant Muslims neither eat not drink, not do a number of pleasurable things. This is to build strength of character, so that one can endure in his devotion. As the Prophet observed, "Fasting is half of discipline; discipline is half of faith."
From sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink.
Muslims feel that the food that is available should be food that other Muslims enjoy; as well as oneself. At Ramadan- Muslims feast on ALL of their favorite foods... even foods they were banned to respect during fasting... such as -Pork -Beef -Alcohol Muslims enjoy the Ramadan because it is a time to "pig out" (as one might say)... after Muslims follow their religious path into fasting or starving themselves from Sunrise to Sunset. Water... also counts as a part of fasting that is not allowed.

Generally, because Muslims honor the holiday, no pork is allowed but that is never allowed. During the fast of Ramadan no food or drink is allowed from sun-up to sun-down. The exact time or the fast depends on the lunar calender, which the Muslims use to guide them. However, when the sun is down, the fast is broken usually in groups such as friends or family.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast and pray and they seek refuge to Allah. During Eid, Muslims pray the Eid prayer, play games, go out to restaurants, get gifts and candy, eat food, and have fun. They also wear new clothes.
