Made from a plant: Eat it

I had to pen this article as presently we are clueless about the toxic poisons accumulating in food chains, poisoning us within and the earth. We may forget this, but the skies, rivers, forests and universe will remind us with natural calamities. Slowly and steadily a sense of gloom can envelop us if we don't preserve earth's creations. I am seeing it in present times with Covid 19. We need to snap out of this. One's food choices and sound ecological practices can help and go hand-in-hand as it's the basis of Ahimsa (non-violence) promoting peace and calm within and around you.

The bible mentions cohesiveness between humans and animals. "as one dieth so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath…" (Ecclesiastes 3:19) translated as whatever befalls earth, will befall the sons of earth.

What you eat is what you are. Food, just like us, is a living entity energised by the sun, wind, water and its nutrients come from the earth. All that we consume must support conservation thus indirectly supporting our heath till our last breath.

Unfortunately, there is an overuse of pesticides, genetically modified seeds and various other chemicals damaging the planet destroying the soil, polluting our water and air thus creating havoc within our bodies since the time of conception. To top it, we are further tampering with the eco-system by pumping the animals with hormones, feeding them food that is not their natural intake and keeping them in appalling factory like inhuman conditions away from their natural habitats. This has taken a toll on greenhouse gas emissions further destroying the ecology.

It's about time that you give yourself and the future generation the legacy of clean and a sustainable life. Overturn the terrible effects on ecology, by eliminating this chemical warfare on environment with what I call "legalised illegal drugs" on your plate that destroy the mind body and soul. So the need of the day is an organic life that sustains our planet.

Chemical-free food life is not just about nutrition, it is the art of eating, reflecting your attitude to life and the world, as it preserves mother earths flora, fauna and soil preventing global warming.

I need you to wake up to the importance of preserving the environment as it would prevent, retard and reverse diseases giving you better mood and energy and a sense of calm leading to a healthy, strong life of dignity and harmony. In today's time, we could do with that extra edge in all our life's aspects. We fed our families with love; now feed everyone with confidence that an organic living is the way to go. Thus ensuring that our planet is safe and the present and future is brighter for all.
