Many students ask me, ‘what is the perfect yogic diet’. But not as many like the answer. Ahimsa is the first tenant of the first limb of yoga, which implies its importance.
With the cruel industrialisation of animals and their products, it is only a plant-based diet that enables us to practice ahimsa every day through what we consume.
I have no judgement here. Your actions are 100% your responsibility. I only seek to illuminate the far reaching consequences of our food choices. There is no avoiding that even the consumption of dairy products and eggs means the enslavement and usually cruel life of countless cows and chickens.
I would no sooner eat a horse or a dog than I would a lamb or a cow. I love all animals and I see them as my brothers and sisters.
In solidarity with all animals
