Traditional diets vary with availability of local resources, such as fish in coastal towns, eels and eggs in estuary settlements, or squash, corn and beans in farming towns, as well as with cultural and religious customs and taboos. In some cases, the crops and domestic animals that characterize a traditional diet have been replaced by modern high-yield crops, and are no longer available. The slow food movement attempts to counter this trend and to preserve traditional diets.

Some cultures and religions have restrictions concerning what foods are acceptable in their diet. For example, only kosher foods are permitted by Judaism, and Halal foods by Islam. Many individuals choose to limit what foods they eat for reasons of health, morality, environmental impact, or other factors. Additionally, many people choose to forgo food from animal sources to varying degrees; see vegetarianism, veganism, fruitarianism, living foods diet, and raw foodism. Individuals may choose to follow such a diet for ethical or moral reasons, or to try to gain some sort of claimed health benefit. Various forms of these diets may or not completely satisfy ordinary nutritional needs.
