Another very important teaching was food preparation. He considered preparing and serving food a very high calling. Often visiting his Himalayan Institute kitchen late afternoon, as the students evening meal was being prepared. Just to make sure there was joy in the kitchen.

Could it be that food prepared with love and joy is more nourishing than food from someone just doing a job? Those of us fortunate enough to have had a Grandmother’s Thanksgiving dinner know that to be true

At first I thought, huh? How can Dr. Carolyn not care about what we eat. LOL But as I read it, your thoughts are actually identical to what I teach and practice.

Although I only eat, natural, wholesome, and plant-based food and encourage others to do the same for best health benefits, I know that without the right mind set – thoughts & feelings – that food can all be useless. This is why there will always be disparity as to why a certain way of life does not work for everyone.

The key line here is when you say:

“But healthy thoughts will always be more beneficial than a healthy diet.”

Amen!
