Hindus believe that all living things are equal therefore they are lacto-vegetarian and fruitarian. They do not eat meat at all as they don’t agree with it, Humans and animals are all equal and none of them are food. Hindus believe in something called a dharma which is basically your role in this present life. Dairy is permitted because it is the cow’s dharma to produce milk. Hindus do not eat fruit or any plant or tree or vine because that would be considered harming the living plant. They wait until the fruit has fallen off the tree before they eat.
Buddhists refrain from any wrong thoughts or actions like killing, because it causes suffering and bad karma. This means that they also do not eat any meat or fruit from trees. They must refrain

It may come as no surprise that Jews follow a Kosher diet. There is a set of laws called Kashrut laws that define a Kosher diet. These laws describe how the animal should be hung and how the meat should be cut so that the least amount of blood is released from the animal. Blood is meant to be the soul of the animal so Jews do not eat rare meat. It must be cooked all the way through. Foods that are fit to eat are fish with fins and scales and animals with hooves that eat mostly grass for example cows, sheep. Kocher salt is different than common table salt in that the granules are larger to soak up the most blood in cooking. Foods that are unfit for Jews are crustaceans, scavenger birds, birds of prey, mammals and pigs, because pigs have hooves, they eat pretty much anything so they are dirty. Jews refrain from mixing dairy with meat at any time. Some Orthodox Jews will have separate dishwashers and refrigerators for dairy and meat. During the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week, no work is allowed. This means that they cannot turn on the lights or cook with electricity, so you may find that some Jewish foods are typically cooked earlier and served
However there are permissible foods and impermissible foods that are allowed by the Jewish Law. The Kashrut is a way for Jews to know what kosher foods are. Which is how they stay healthy and which are non-kosher or Trefa foods which will make you ill and unhealthy. The Kosher food include fruits, vegetables, grains, meats from cows, goats, salmon, herring and perch they can also eat chicken, turkey, and duck as well as milk and eggs. The non-kosher or forbidden foods would include pigs, rabbits, horses, and birds that prey like an eagle. It is also important to keep all meat and milk separate and to not cook them together but in same pans.
Not all Buddhists are vegetarian and in fact, the Buddha did not seem to have issue with meat-eating overall. The Mahayana tradition is more strictly vegetarian than other Buddhist traditions.
| Jewish do not eat pork or shellfish. Other meats must be slaughtered according to Jewish rituals (Kosher). Certain foods must not come in contact with each other. (use of separate plates/cutlery)
The reason why Buddhists take special caution to avoid killing another living being, is because of their idea of rebirth. Many Buddhists believe that once a living being has died, they will be reborn and continue to live on.
Buddhists mainly eat grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. A lot of people have stereotype of Buddhist, which monks do not eat meat because it is considered breaking no killing rule. However, that is not entirely true. Buddhism does not forbid its followers to eat meat at the beginning. Moreover, there are many different stringent requirements for whether or what kind of meat Buddhists can eat depend on different sects of Buddhism. Thus, Buddhism does not have a uniform standard diet.
In the Jewish religion dietary laws are one of the most important parts of keeping the faith. These laws are thought to be sent from God to keep the Jewish people pure. Over the year it has became easier for Jews to eat kosher but many people have chosen to assimilate with passing time. A tradition that started around 3500 years ago that has kept its importance.
Jewish dietary laws, like that of the Islamic dietary laws are based on similar principles in the sense that the Islamic views on allowing the consumption of some meat is permissible whilst the meat of other animals is not allowed. In this regard, the criteria required to judge whether or not the animal is kosher depends on the following principles.
Another important Sikh ideal is that we should not eat things that result from the killing of an animal. It is not correct however to say that the Sikh diet is a vegan diet. It is adequate to eat or drink something that an animal produces but it is not adequate to eat or drink something that comes from the killing of an animal or living being in general. In the Siri Guru Granth Sahib it says, “Whosoever takes Marijuana, fish and alcoholic drinks; all his pilgrimages, fasts and performance of religious practices shall go waste” (SGGS 1377). The reason for this is because killing a living being for your own benefit is seen as an unrighteous action. It is deemed unethical to kill, and it is believed that God resides in all including animals and
Among the observed laws were keeping ‘Kashrut’-keeping kosher as it is known today among the Jews. Jewish were very particular in the food they eat and the way in which they prepared their food. As one scholar puts it, “keeping milk and dairy products separated from meat products and of eating only animals that had been killed in humane ways,
Buddhists are strong believers in Karma, the law of cause and effect. They are often morally
Meat: Jewish people can only eat meat that comply with certain restrictions. Cattle and game may only be eaten if; they have ‘cloven hooves’ (e.g. split hooves like a pig) and ‘chews the cud’ (cud is food that is regurgitated from the stomach to be eaten again). If the animal does not comply with both restrictions then it cannot be eaten. Furthermore, Jewish Law prohibits inflicting pain upon animals; therefore the animal must be unconscious (in way way that happens instantaneously) and then killed instantaneously. In addition, the animal is prepared in such a way that certain forbidden fats and veins, as well as blood, are removed.
Buddhist belief in karmic consequences and their impact in afterlife during rebirth. Saving animals from slaughter for meat is believed to be a way to acquire merit for better rebirth.
Dietary laws that are vegetarian diets include Seventh-day Adventists, Hindus, Buddhists, and Rastafarians. Nevertheless, dietary laws and practices depending on the patient religious sects and their devoutness. Two common major faiths with dietary
In Hindu thought, even the most seemingly mundane of activities could have a deeper underlying meaning or purpose. The activities surrounding food, although certainly not unimportant as the consumption of food is necessary for the survival of humanity, are an example of a seemingly mundane and uncomplicated process that Hindu thought attributes a deeper meaning or purpose to. Not all Hindus will necessarily have the same identical perception of food as differing beliefs and backgrounds will undoubtedly lead to varying views across the numerous Hindu denominations such as the Ascetics, Brahman Householders, Tantric Shakti and the ISKCON. The ultimate goals sought by its devotees; and the beliefs that ultimately cascade from them, play a huge role in forging the religion’s approach in regards to food. The beliefs, thoughts and goals of a Hindu denomination play a substantial role in shaping how food is: produced, consumed, ritualized, and symbolically viewed.
The requirements of a Jew go deeper than what religious book they must abide by, but it goes into what they are allowed and are not allowed to eat. They pursue these rules by following their dietary laws, or traditions. They refer to following their beliefs by saying, “keeping kosher.” By following kosher, it allowed the Jews to be influenced and find what they are able to make and how they will prepare it. There are foods that are absolutely forbidden, as in pork or shellfish. Along with these types of food, meat and dairy are not allowed to be combined. The meat that provide is required to be ritually slaughtered and salted so that no blood remains. If the meat or poultry has been touched by any type of dairy product, then that item may not touch any plate or utensil. As well as how to eat it, there are also certain certains of animals that may not be eaten. Also, Jews are forbidden to have any grape
