Why do you think Muslims abstain from pork and Hindus abstain from beef?
All religions have some agendas - something which help them to propagate. It is part of their strategy- Don’t eat that meat, Don't indulge in such kind of sexual activity, Don’t do that, Don’t do this etc.
Now, what makes the followers strictly adhere to this? it is part of human psychology. If someone keep on suggesting (auto-suggesting) or keep on doing something for 21 days, it will turn into a new habit. This is something what psychologists and counselors makes use of.
So if a particular religion happens to make us think for 21 days (at a stretch - the believers may not be even be aware of this) that one should abstain from eating chicken, that it is unholy, then the believers will abstain from eating chicken. They will dislike chicken for no reasons.
So if someone is born in a religious family, such thoughts come from their parents, religious classes and holy texts in a regular basis and these things can easily be hardwired in their brain - as if going through regular psychological session of reprogramming our mind -but without they being aware of this.
This is why Muslims don't eat pork, Hindus don't eat meat, why masturbation is a sin, why homosexuals are mocked, etc, etc- it is all part of religious agenda and human psychology.

I am a non vegetarian and i eat all sort of meat, I cook them occasionally for my friends. But about some years back, I decided to be a vegetarian (incorporating some concepts of Buddhism), I auto-suggested for a month or so - that I am a vegetarian, that i don't like non-vegetarian stuffs. And i tell you, the result was that, I became a vegetarian. if an occasion comes that made me to cook meat, It was quite hard for me to do that. For two to three years, I was a strict vegetarian. But, since occasionally there were immense pressure from my relatives to cook for them, I later decided to be a non-veg. this time too - I had to do auto-suggestion to turn back myself to a non-vegetarian.
