They spent centuries larping as Muslims to get the Turks off their backs then it became a tribal thing. Fasting during daylight hours in the summer is a real stress test of faith in temperate climates. The guy who cheats is going to outcompete the most pious Muslim in that environment. Now Globohomo is trying to dump Narfis all over Europe. Including the Balkans. Being Muslim does not benefit the tribal identity against them.

Beyond meat is a shitty overpriced company that didn't make tasty meat substitutes. Their competitors did. Yes I am a coinsurer of vegetarian alternatives. But not a strict vegetarian. So I can compare it to the real thing. Amy's has good veggie burgers that are affordable.

No it got replaced by Lent. That is why Catholics sin a bit for Mardi Gras and it is OK. Instead of sacrificing a chicken and not eating or drinking for a night you fast for 40 days to have your sins absolved. They just don't tell the average person why they have to fast other than Jesus did it. Easier to keep normie cattle in line that way.
