C
All adult Catholics who are not ill are supposed to fast (i.e., eat only one light meal and two smaller meals in one day, and no meat) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that meat should have all blood drained out of it before cooking because it is forbidden to take in blood, either in food or as a transfusion. According to Hinduism, fasting is associated with spiritual purposes such as special worship services, some holy festivals, and mourning. Additionally, no meat is eaten (beef and pork). According to Judaism, meat and dairy products must not be eaten together at the same meal.
