Answer 1

They can eat meat. it just has to be Kosher. Kosher meats specially raised animals. The kosher farms give the animals a good life, (the way god wanted it) they dont use mass slaughter houses, ect. and they are never cruel to the animals. They make sure that they are organic so they dont get steroids, ect. They make sure the animals are raised the way "god" intended. Then, when they kill the animal for food, they bless the animal, thank "god" for the gift of this animal, and THEN kill it. I think it is also handled in a way after it is killed and packaged.

But, i would suggest eating Kosher meats or "free range" meats just because you arent supporting the aweful meat factories where animals get tortured untill they die

I'm not a fan of PETA (as a matter of fact i HATE them) but if you go on PETA.org and view some of the undercover footage of the perdue factory, you will never want to eat a perdue turkey again. Its sad and sickening but an amazing awaking.

Answer 2

Jewish people CAN eat meat as long as it follows their rules.

General Rules
Although the details of kashrut are extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:

Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.
Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.
All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten.
Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.
Fruits and vegetables are permitted, but must be inspected for bugs
Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat).
Utensils that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot.
Grape products made by non-Jews may not be eaten.
There are a few other rules that are not universal.

Answer 3

It's a rule in the talmud (book of Jewish law). It was initially for health reasons. All religions have some silly, antiquated rules. And your question is inaccurate....we eat meat...just cut in a certain way....served with certain foods....and never hooved animals or shell fish.

The strict orthodox rules of being kosher are actually quite involved. There are also rules about what clothing should be made of. There are even stores in NY that sell Kosher socks. Very few people practise all of these rules.

I practise none of them.

Your logic is also quite silly.....I'll respond to it by saying if god didn't want us to have sex with animals, he would have made them anti-human poisonous in the genitalia.

Vegetarians make a moral stand about eating animals. It's not a stance I agree with, but I respect their dedication and values.

Answer 4

They can eat meat, just not pork or shellfish. I don't know why it is, but it brings people together in a community. Also the laws of eating kosher and stuff, a long time ago, it prevented jews getting some diseases that others got from pork or meat that was cooked in a weird way. Also if you eat kosher, you wont get mad cow's disease.

Answer 5

The laws against eating certain meats were for the jews...health related laws. The pig carries trychinosis...I think that's what it's called. Proper sanitation and cooking could not be done while they travelled in the wilderness. A lot of their laws concern health issues.

Answer 6

In the Torah is says we are only allowed to eat mammals that BOTH chew the cud and have cloven hooves (cows, goats, sheep, deer, etc) and anything else (pigs, rabbits, etc). We cannot eat birds of prey (hawks, falcons, etc) or scavenger birds (vultures). In fact we cannot eat any scavenger animal at all--this leaves out shellfish like shrimp and things as well. The only fish we are to eat is one that has both fins and scales. It is because G-d said that these animals are unclean. Later, these forbidden animals have been found to be linked with serious diseases like the trichinosis found in pigs. Even the sciatic nerve in cows (which we are also not allowed to eat) has been linked to mad-cow disease. Yes, we can eat meat, it's just certain kinds of meat we aren't allowed to touch.

Answer 7

Jewish people like Muslim people can eat meat, just with restrictions. If Christians were really into the Bible like a lot of them think they were, they wouldn't eat pork at all either. God put restrictions on us in the Bible!!!
Don't believe me? Read the book of Deuteronomy.
If I remember right it is chapter 14. All of the restrictions on what we can eat and what we can not, are all there.

Answer 8

Jewish people can eat meat. If you are a traditional practicing Jew, you cannot eat pork, shellfish and a few others due to Kosher laws.

Answer 9

Jewish people do eat meat. God gave man meat to eat way back in the Garden of Eden after Adam sinned and Eve was deceived by Satan.

Answer 10

Jews can and do eat meat. They do not eat pork or shellfish. Muslims do not eat pork either. It is their religion. Jews do not mix dairy and meat in the same meal. This really doesn't affect you, why do care so much what others eat? You should accept everybody and their different tastes, religions, and values. More meat for you, no? :)
