Answer
According to the Shari`ah, a Muslim can only eat of that meat, which has been slaughtered in the name of the one God. Meat that is not slaughtered in the name of the one God is prohibited for Muslims. If you cannot find chicken, mutton or beef that is not slaughtered in the name of the one God, then you must avoid eating it. You may however eat fish. While living in America, you may eat of food that is ‘kosher’ (according to the classical sense), i.e., Halal under the Jewish law.
I hope this helps.
