Small Market Meetings

Food ?For All Faiths

By: Rachel Carter

Kosher, halal, vegetarian, vegan, no alcohol, no coffee, no tea: Every religion seems to have its own doctrine about diet. Some follow loose guidelines under a general “your body is a temple” philosophy, and others have detailed dietary laws based on wide-ranging scriptures and centuries of study. Even within the same religion, there can be several different practices of dietary law.
All that makes planning food and beverage for religious meetings and events a challenge. The key to successfully navigating the ins and outs of meal planning for religious groups is to understand the faith, learn the culture and be flexible.
