Halal
The Halal diet is based on Islamic dietary laws and is central to followers' spiritual wellbeing. It allows meat from certain animals, like cows and chickens, slaughtered under religious rules. Consumption of pork, carnivorous animals, birds of prey, and any animal not slaughtered in Allah's name, along with alcohol, is prohibited. Sharing some similarities with the Kosher diet, the Halal diet is seen by followers as integral to their faith, extending beyond simple dietary preference.

Halal Diet
The Halal diet is based on Islamic dietary laws, or "Halal," which means permissible in Arabic. It is not just a diet, but part of a larger system of moral and ethical beliefs. Adherents believe that consuming Halal foods is a part of their religious observance, contributing to their overall spiritual wellbeing.
Followers eat meat from animals that have been slaughtered according to specific religious rules. This includes certain animals like cows, sheep, chickens, and fish. The consumption of pork and its by-products, carnivorous animals, birds of prey, and any animal not slaughtered in the name of Allah is strictly prohibited.
The Halal diet also prohibits the consumption of alcohol or any food products containing alcohol. Unlike diets like the Mediterranean diet, where moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, adherents of the Halal diet believe that any amount of alcohol consumption is harmful.
This diet shares some similarities with the Kosher diet, another diet based on religious laws, in its attention to the method of food preparation and specific dietary restrictions.
The Halal diet may appeal to followers of Islam, who see their food choices as an integral part of their faith and a way of life rather than a simple dietary preference.
