Conscious Eating
It's interesting to note the different health conscious food groups we have: vegetarian, vegan, organic food, non GMO food, etc.
I wonder how soy (or other plant proteins) based imitation meat can be better than fresh food in its natural form. Are there preservatives or other additives in packaged food?
I understand that vegans are conscious about saving animals, in addition to eating healthier. At the soul level, animals are here to serve humanity, as food, companions, tools, teachers, etc. to give us their unconditional love. Humans are the ones most in need of love in the universe.
Organic food only means that no chemicals are used in the growing process. Whether the food is more nutritious or less, depends on the DNA of the food.
I like the concept of non GMO food. Going back to nature is good!
I prefer fresh food in its natural form (nutrients and taste are still in the food) cooked in a simple way that accentuates the inherent flavor of the ingredient, while easily digestible, hence easily absorb-able by the body. I like a chef who respects and appreciates his ingredients, and views the culinary process as an expression of love.
Some people are particular about the food source (plant or non-plant), some are particular about the form of food (natural or processed), some are particular about the preparation process (halal, kosher, etc), some are particular about the cooking process (raw, deep fried, steamed, etc), etc.
Our food choices is just an expression of our knowledge and belief. There are different levels of health consciousness, as there are different levels of awareness.
For example, some are aware that sugar is not good for the body, hence opting for other sweeteners such as brown sugar. Brown sugar is refined, not natural. It is better, but not best. The brick shaped layered cane sugar is natural sugar, but may not be organic. There is organic cane sugar. How health conscious do you want to be?
Just like everything else, our behaviors are determined by our beliefs in and understanding of religion, politics, nature, etc.
With free choice and free will, we express ourselves how ever we wish, to serve our highest good and preferably the highest good of everyone else.
Happy eating!
