@@hemalpatel655 🐟 30. DIET & VEGANISM: PREAMBLE: Even though the term, “vegetarian”, has customarily referred to a human who desists from eating animal flesh, but who may still consume animal by-products such as eggs and milk, here it is used LITERALLY, that is, “one who subsists on vegetation”. One who consumes vegetation, dairy and/or eggs, is properly called a “lacto-vegetarian”, or a “lacto-ovo vegetarian”, respectively. The term, “vegan”, is not directly related to diet, but to the ethical norm of the avoidance of unjustifiably harming animal life. Animal killing is permissible only in the case of hunger, self-defence, or in order to eradicate vermin from one’s dwelling and work places. Obviously, veganism is to be promoted as the ideal way of life. At the risk of nit-picking, both the words, “vegetarian” and “vegan”, refer to those humans who subscribe to those two notions, and not to the food products themselves. Even if one was to qualify the term, “diet”, with the word “vegetarian” (e.g. “I consume a vegetarian diet”), it would not provide a great deal of information, since those who consume a raw fruit diet, as well as those who consume only soda drinks and candy, could both claim to consume a “vegetarian/vegan diet”, and nobody would agree that these two diets are comparable in any significant way! N.B. If you are reading this, it is highly probable that you are familiar with the concept of the “Three Modes of Nature” (“trī-guṇa”, in Sanskrit). If not, it is recommended that you read (or re-read) Chapter 18 of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity” (“F.I.S.H”) at this point. In any case, those who are, in fact, familiar with the three modes of nature, have an extremely flawed understanding of how they apply to food and diet, particularly if they have studied the ancient Indian texts known collectively as “Ayur Veda” (“The Science of Life/Longevity”). Those persons invariably believe that animal products are categorized in the mode of darkness. However, this assumes that animals are factually human food, which they definitely are not. The system outlined below is, by far, the most accurate, logical, and AUTHORITATIVE method of classifying food, and ought to be followed by anyone who is truly desirous of living a wholesome life. Unfortunately, even most vegetarians and vegans seem to lean towards less-than-ideal diets. Of course, it is morally-preferable to consume a poor plant-based diet rather than eating murdered animals. One of the greatest tragedies is, that throughout history, the vast majority of diets have consisted of dead foodstuffs, and non-human “food”. FOODS IN THE THREE MODES: There are THREE kinds of foods, according to the three “modes”, explicated in Chapter 18 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”: Foods in the mode of PURITY (“sattva guṇa”, in Sanskrit) promote good physical and mental health. The adage, “healthy body, healthy mind”, is pertinent to this mode. Such foods include, in approximate order of their importance: fruits (especially if they are tree-ripened), vegetables, nuts, legumes/pulses, grains, roots, flowers, tubers, bulbs, and of course, purified water (or milk, in the case of infants), supplemented with seeds and herbs. To be included in this classification, the food must be living, that is, fresh and raw (or at most, steamed or lightly sautéed, if one is residing in a cold clime). Most animals subsist on living foodstuffs, so to be considered healthy, the food must be both living and natural. As with all herbivorous mammals, humans who consume a pure diet, normally experience a bowel movement after each (substantial) meal. Foods in the mode of PASSION (“rajas guṇa”, in Sanskrit) promote indigestion (or, at least, are more difficult to digest than pure foods) and overly-excite the mind. Such foods are basically the same as above, but with a certain quantity of oil, spices, sweeteners, salt and/or other condiments added. To be included in this category, the plant-based foods may be properly cooked (but not overcooked) and moderately-to-mildly seasoned. Those who consume foods predominately in the mode of passion, normally defecate after breaking their fast (i.e. breakfast). Foods in the mode of DARKNESS (“tamas guṇa”, in Sanskrit) cannot rightly be called “food” at all, and invariably cause digestive upsets, such as constipation or diarrhoea. Such “offal” is either dry, stale, putrid, rancid, decayed, carcinogenic, overcooked (or even worse, burnt), processed beyond recognition, bitter, or the remnants of another’s meal (that is, food that has been leftover by a person who is lower in the hierarchy of society than the person who intends to consume it. For example, it would be offensive for a beggar to offer the remains of his meal to his king, yet the converse would be a rather benevolent act). Again, to be included in this classification, the food is to be of wholly plant or fungal origin. THE IDEAL DIET: Ideally, the bulk (if not ALL) of one’s diet should comprise of minimally-processed raw foods, such as tropical fruits or vegetable salads, the latter of which often consists of fruits anyway, because such foods as tomatoes, cucumbers and olives are, in fact, fruits, since they are seed-bearing foods. If one consumes a very high proportion of raw fruits, it is rarely, if ever, necessary to fast. Fasting is beneficial for those who partake in a diet high in processed and cooked dishes. Fruit-juice fasting is perhaps the best method of fasting, especially for those living a vigorous lifestyle. Unless one is particularly active, eating more than two meals per day is unnecessary. Ideally, cooked and highly-processed foods should be reserved for the final meal of the day, since the process of digestion itself consumes more energy than any other activity. Ideally, one should sit in a comfortable position, and eat one’s meal with a RELAXED mental disposition. Consuming food in an anxious state of mind may cause digestive upsets. If practical, it is suggested that eating with bare hands is more conducive to the enjoyment of one’s meal. In case the reader may be wondering what this author, the current World Teacher, usually consumes, the following is my typical daily meal plan: Upon waking from sleep, I rinse my mouth with a mixture of commercial mouthwash, a drop of clove oil and tea tree oil. Then, I drink at least one cup of purified water, mixed with a couple of vitamin tablets (definitely vitamin B12, and when I am residing in a location that receives little direct sunlight, vitamin D also). After two or three hours, I break my fast with either a bowl of oats, mixed with raw and dried fruits, chia seeds, raw cacao nibs, moringa powder, and sweetened soya drink (inaccurately called “soya milk” by many persons), plus a handful of mixed nuts and seeds, or else, I prepare a large fruit salad (ideally, using as many tropical fruits as can be afforded), plus a variety of nuts and seeds. For my second and final meal of the day, I prepare a mixed salad, invariably consisting of Roma tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce or alfalfa sprouts, raw beetroot, black olives, a gherkin (pickled cucumber), a type of herb (coriander, parsley, oregano, etc.), a teaspoon of ground seeds (chia, sesame and flax), and dressed with extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar. The salad is eaten with a cooked dish (I am particularly fond of Indian, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and Lebanese recipes), plus a side snack like corn chips, and after a while, I consume dessert with soya drink.
