The country's diverse religious makeup influences its cuisine, as Buddhists and Hindus traditionally avoid [[beef]] and Muslims [[pork]]. Beef is considered taboo by devout Buddhists and farmers because the cow is highly regarded as a [[pack animal|beast of burden]]. [[Vegetarian]]ism is commonly practiced by Buddhists during the three-month [[Vassa]] (ဝါတွင်း) between July and October, as well as during [[Uposatha]] days, reflected in the Burmese word for "vegetarian," ''thet that lut'' (သက်သတ်လွတ်, {{lit|free of killing}}). During this time, devout Buddhists observe [[Eight precepts|eight or more precepts]], including fasting rules that restrict food intake to two daily meals (i.e., breakfast and lunch) taken before noon.</div>FuzzyBot
