Advice, guidance, wisdom and spiritual truths are eternal and timeless. They have always been true and they will always continue to be true. Only their context and ways of application may slightly change due to time, place, and circumstance. Therefore, I humbly offer my gratitude and acknowledgments to the great saints, seers, and gurus who have been imparting these truths for millennia, and especially those who have been bringing this wisdom into modern day applicability. A few of the specific examples or parables I use have been told to me by these great saints…. I am sure you will find their examples inspiring and enlightening.

We make many choices in our lives without ever questioning “why?” Choices like what religion we believe in, what our values are, what we eat... Perhaps we simply continue to live in the way we were raised; perhaps we automatically adopt our parents’ choices. Or, perhaps we rebel against how we were raised: our parents made one choice, so we will make the opposite. In either case, we rarely take the time to truly see why we are living the way we do. In this booklet, I want to take the opportunity to see why one of the most important choices we can make in life is what we eat -- do we choose to live as vegetarians or as meat eaters. I want to talk about the deep meanings be hind the choices we make – for ourselves, for our chi dren and for our planet — each time we put food in our bodies.
