Modern Episcopalianism does not have any specific dietary laws or fasts except possibly on Good Friday. There are high ( pro-catholic in formality) and Low Episcopal churches and like most Protestant denominations,l a surprising variety of practical (free-style) as far as worship styles go- not paint-By-Number or assembly-line format- except of course for the Book of Common Prayer.

Many Orthodox Christians give up meat for Lent - the days before Lent are called Carnival (literally "Meat Day") and celebrate the last meat eating days before Lent starts up.As well as Lent, Orthodox Christians will often give up meat in Advent - again 50 days long - leading up to Christmas.Apart from these two periods, Orthodox Christians also have "fasting days" through the year, where they avoid meat.However, when you're thinking that they are amazingly strict, you should remember that there are millions of vegetarians that don't eat meat at all. Also, for obscure reasons, shellfish isn't considered meat for fasting purposes.
