Just for general information, many religions and races burn incense. Not to mention those non-religious people who burn incense just for the smell.

I'm curious - what do people do with the offerings placed at the altars?

Back in my old neighbourhood, me and my family do most of our grocery shopping at a local shop run by a Chinese family. I always see them placing oranges and maybe sort other sort of food at altars inside and outside the house.

But after that, what happens to the food? Will the family eat it? Throw it out? Burn it? Give it to the poor? I'm always curious about that, but am too scared to ask them.

we eat it, or at least my family eat it.
cannot waste food.

Not sure if troll, but ill answer it anyway.

Muslim did not pray to rooftop. They pray according to the direction towards the kaabah in Mecca. Its a necessity requirement for praying.

i hope this answer your question. and please ask nicely in the future. your question was really rude.

OP is racist as f***. Assuming all cainis must pray with 3 sticks.

I don't even know what the f*** that is. have never prayed throughout my entire life.

Well driving your car contributes more to global warming than a lifetime of joss stick burning for an average Buddhist.

Think further don't be so superficial.

That is wrong.

Taoism has never been associated with josstick.

This is a common misconception. Taoism is not even a religion to begin with.

Taoism started out as a way of life long time ago, somewhere in between then and now, people used joss sticks.

Then what religion is it? In TS's picture?
