Here's the basics of what I am thinking...taken from http://asiarecipe.com/religion.html
Religious food practices vary widely. Prohibitions and restrictions even within a particular faith may change between denominations or branches. National variations are also common. Further, individual adherence to a religious diet is often based on personal degree of orthodoxy. Our intention is to provide only a brief overview of religious food practices.
Common Religious Food Practices
ADV - Seventh Day Adventist X - prohibited or strongly discouraged BUD - Buddhist A - avoided by the most devout EOX - Eastern Orthodox R - some restrictions regarding types of foods HIN - Hindu or when foods are eaten JEW - Jewish O - permitted, but may be avoided at some MOR - Mormon observances MOS - Moslem + - practiced RCA - Roman Catholic
So perhaps just need to rename to "followers practice" and simply add 1 more column to the "followers" table to allow for those categories in a drop down, X - prohibited or strongly discouraged, A - avoided by the most devout... etc
What do ya'll think ? It's a rather small table, as seen in the above URL.

I think you're suggesting some new properties on the Diet type for a) religions and b) degree? We could accomplish half of this using existing types and properties by typing (some) diets as Religious Practices. The degree issue is essentially true for all types of religious practices, so any model for degree could probably go there.

agree, degree is too much for diet. if u need this, make 'moderate atkins diet' and say who follows that...
i do think it should link to foods avoided/encouraged though.

i suggested this before this type got promoted, but it got fanned over somewhere,
we definetly definetly should merge this type with this one, which already has tons of data, and it seems has been overlooked.

I agree somewhat. Funny, I just posted my Need to expand beyond just followers. And THEN, I read your post here. LOL. However your suggestion is fairly comprehensive. I was thinking more along the lines of what I suggested, since not all followers necessarily are orthodox (strict followers), so a quick selection drop down might be a better approach and cover a broader use? I thinking on just the basics as shown in this table ... http://asiarecipe.com/religion.html
X - prohibited or strongly discouraged A - avoided by the most devout R - some restrictions regarding types of foods or when foods are eaten O - permitted, but may be avoided at some observances
Anyone else ? Let's get this merged somehow. I need it somewhat and I'm sure others do as well. Put it to a vote.
