Almost every religion has some dietary laws on what can and can't be eaten. Sometimes, as in keeping Kosher for Jews, these laws should be followed at all times. For Christians, dietary laws are followed in periods of fasting and also Lent, but many Protestant denominations minimize the laws themselves.
What do you think of dietary laws and would the ability to eat or not eat certain foods be a spiritual reminder for you? Would we have fewer food purity problems in society if we practiced a standardized Kosher way of food preparation?

As a practitioner of Lent, I realize that we fast for a period as a sacrifice of sorts. Much like the avoidance of alcohol and the avoidance of impure meats like swine for the Jewish culture, I think it does serve as a spiritual reminder.
It is a sacrifice for the religious and a attempt to purify the soul in a sense. As for practicing kosher food preparation, I do think it would offer an increase in food health, but it might also be a financial and resource disaster with the increase in requirements for food processing.
"...Much like the avoidance of alcohol in the Islamic faith..." -- Quick fix, seems I'm a proofreading failure.
At least you were monotheistic and Abrahamic. You aren't so far off in either form.
