Cultural, Religious and Moral Food Choices
Religion
Christianity
-
During Lent, Christians often choose to give up certain foods or drinks
During various Christian celebrations, special foods are eaten, e.g Hot Cross buns on Good Friday
Islam
The Qu'ran states that meats eaten by Muslims must be halal - where the lawful animal is slaughtered in a specific way whilst being blessed
Muslims cannot eat pork, nor any product made from pork products, such as gelatine
-
During Ramadan, (the ninth month of the Lunar Calendar), Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset
Hinduism
-
Some tend to avoid certain vegetables that are considered harmful such as garlic, onion and mushrooms
The Hindus that eat meat require that it be slaughtered using a quick, painless method called Jhatka
In Hinduism, cows are considered sacred, so Hindus are not allowed to eat beef
Judaism
-
Kosher animals are ones which have split hooves and chew cud (such as cows and deers), plus fish that have fins and scales (so no shellfish)
Animals must be slaughtered using quick, painless methods which allow the blood to drain afterwards, as blood is considered non-Kosher
Jews are not allowed to eat pig, rabbit, hare, camel and many other animals
-
Sikhism
Baptised Sikhs are prohibited from eating meat that is ritually slaughtered (such as halal or kosher meat)
-
Sikhism teaches that its followers should only eat what they need to, and should avoid overindulging
Buddhism
Buddhists believe that all living beings are sacred, so the majority of Buddhists are vegetarian or vegan (though there are no strict rules on this)
Most Buddhists avoid alcohol, as they believe it wrongly alters your view of the world around you
-
Rastafarianism
-
Many Rastafarians stick to an I-tal (clean and natural) diet, meaning the diets are mainly made up of fresh vegetables
Some eat fish, but the fish must be less than 30cm long
Many Rastafarians do not drink alcohol but will drink things made from natural, grown products, such as herbal tea or fruit juice
