And of All the Senses.... the Tongue...
https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@freewritehouse/38hxg5-sharing-is-caring-share-what-you-see-and-feel
In bhakti yoga practice there is meditation before eating. Part of the meditation is ... "And of all the senses, the tongue is the most voracious and difficult to control." It is recommended to avoid meat, fish and eggs and only eat foods from vegetable kingdom. The mind becomes more peaceful since there is less violence.
But plants also are living beings. So the meditation is to offer foods from the vegetable kingdom as a sacrifice to the Supreme Being to be relieved of reactions for taking a life. Yes. Pulling a carrot out of the ground is taking a life. Everyone here is eating everyone else. It really is a nasty place. Except for the plants. They are subsisting by manufacturing from basic elements, sun, water, earth...
When the tongue is controlled in this way , by eating remnants of sacrifice the urge of sex desire is also controlled.
Very few people are practicing bhakti yoga. Out of many thousands one may be trying to come to higher standard and achieve a peaceful state. It's called the mode of goodness. From that mode it is easier to understand transcendental subject matter.

Congratulations! Your post has been upvoted through @steemcurator03. Good post here should be..Plants are hard to digest and damage the intestines plus it's hard to get sifgicient minerals and vitamims out of it. Eating a truckload of lettuce daily is imposdible.
I can't digest corn, carrot and cabbage make me sick so I rather limit what I eat.
I have very strong doubts about meat increasing the sex drive. There are different reasons why people (ab)use sex: to be noticed, feel good, make a statement, feel close, you name it.
Nuts are recommended if you have a liw sex drive or to fight fertility issues although I have strong doubts about that as well. If lack of food would cause it animals + humans wouldn't have offspring in times of famine and war.
I read about the eye of Horus which was interesting. Smelling comes first. That counts for food as well.
I feel for the plants. It's proved they feel pain and even warn plants and insects.

Just vegetarian is not enough to avoid violence. Sometimes vegetarians become proud like this. My old body does well with beans and rice. I dehydrate leafy greens and sprinkle them as flakes. Seem easier to digest that way. Sometimes I powder them in the spice mill. My diet isn't for everyone. It's just what works for me. I fast three days/week on watermelon. May seem extreme to some. But it's just what works for me. Nuts and dried fruit for snacks. Sage in the forest food... lol

Fruit is hard to find these days. Strange, how times have changed. There was a period I lived on fruits only, hard to believe these days.
Also a time I only drank juice anf tea and once in a while a boiled egg and I felt great.
Now I intend to live on the air + sun (sun is hard). Let's see how far I get. 😁
How you dry those leaves?
I believe how we ate in the old days wasn't bad at all (cooked, nothing raw except saukerkraut).
I can even remember a time the lettuce was cooked.
If it grows here it gets dehydrated. lol. Today I cut some of the straggling sweet potato vines. The leaves are very nice, like spinach. But I dehydrate them and then crush into flakes. If I had to cook for others most likely I wouldn't be able to do what I do... I have one of these. A Cosori... Best purchase I ever made. It runs non stop. Works as a food warmer also. https://cosori.com/collections/food-dehydrators/products/premium-stainless-steel-food-dehydrator-cp267-fd

Lucky you, it grows. I can't say it's a fact here. I read the link and some other info about drying food. Perhaps it's a solution for us as well. I wonder how dried orange tastes and banana (fruit in general) like the fruit chips or?
I read there might be a vitamin C loss. I go figure it out.
If you cook for others they should eat what you eat. If they don't like it they can eat at home. LOL

Dried fruits become more sweet. Crunchy. Nice. The drying temperature is very low but there is some loss of Vit C. I set the temp for 135F... It's not like it's cooked... Just the water evaporated out. The dehydrated foods can keep for years without spoiling. No refrigeration or freezing needed. Great for snacking... Apples are some of the best... bananas are great...
I go have a look. It sounds interesting especially the long saving time. It might add something extra to our (winter) diet and who knows a nice treat for the pets too.
