Food quote

"Food in Aryan belief was not simply a means of bodily sustenance ; it was part of a cosmic moral cycle. The Taittirya Upanished states: From earth sprang herbs, from herbs food seed, from seed man. Man thus consists of the essence of food…. From food are all creatures produced, by food do they grow…. The self consists of food, of breath , of mind, of understanding, of bliss".
