Alleluia means praise to God, sung with great joy. Lent is a time for penance and a reminder of our sinfulness and the hope of everlasting life. So we do not say alleluia, but we do sing praise to God. Then on Easter, a time of great joy, we sing alleluia again ( in fact, twice at the closing of Mass)
During Lent, the Gloria and the Alleluia are not said or sung during the Mass. This is because Lent is meant to be a solemn time where we reflect on our sinfulness and how we can better ourselves. Both the Gloria and the Alleluia are joyful prayers. The Gloria is said on Holy Thursday, and then both the Gloria and the Alleluia are reinstated in the Mass on Easter Sunday.

The Gloria is a hymn of praise and adoration that we sing to he the Blessed Trinity. Represented by violet vestments, Advent and Lent are seasons of penitence. The church omits the Gloria (and also the Alleluia during Lent) so that we may spend more time in contemplation and prayer, doing reparation for our sins.
In the Traditional Roman Rite the Alleluia is used on Sundays of Advent along with the Gradual, but if the Mass from the Sunday is used during the week the Alleluia is omitted. It is not omitted during Advent in the Divine Office.

The Gloria is prayed during the Mass. It follows the Kyriae, or 'Lord have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord have Mercy.' It is not prayed at Masses during Lent or Advent. On Easter Sunday, the Gloria is often accompanied by the ringing of many bells.
Yes, Catholics can eat chicken and pork during Lent except on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent when Catholics should abstain from eating meat.
