Jews do eat food. However, there is a schedule of Jewish dietary laws derived from The Bible and its exegesis called Kashrut. The Jews believe that God instituted these food laws for all time. There are many kosher laws. Here are a few highlights:

  • mammals must have a split hoof and chew their cud
  • birds must not be a scavenger or predator, and must have a societal tradition as a food animal
  • fish must have fins and scales
  • meat and dairy cannot be cooked or eaten together
  • blood may not be eaten and must be removed from mammals and birds
  • no reptiles or amphibians
  • no insects (there are kosher types of locusts, but the names of the species are lost)
