Meat also contains toxins, especially lactic acid, which is a waste product of muscle metabolism. We now know that meat contain fat, cholesterol and other substances that are toxic to our bodies. Thus the advise to eat meat in moderation is certainly well taken. The yogis' favorite food is fruit. They consider fruit to possess the highest life force of all foods.
Fruit is also very nutritious.
They can be eaten raw or unprocessed and are easily digested. It provides a quick and sustained source of energy with no toxins. It is no wonder the yogis favor fruit. The yogis consider the green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and so on, to have the highest life force of all vegetables. Fresh Food Yoga also stresses that food should be as fresh as possible.
