Have you ever thought that food was religious in some way?

I've been thinking it now and then. But only when I eat kasha, (Buckwheat) wild rice, blueberries or salmon.. Weird, I no. I've met a medicine woman (she's gone home now) and a Tibetan monk ("feed your energy!!!") who have both made me thoughtful about it. So I thought I'd randomly ask you. What foods in particular seem more sacred or holy, (or the opposite of that.) Oh, and Pomegranates and green tea.

As an observant Jew, I can say that I feel that it has a religious component. I make a blessing on everything I eat and drink and it is therefore no longer mundane.





It serves a higher purpose, by elevating even the simple act of eating (acknowledging and thanking G-D)
Reply:Chocolate. No, really.





This is a good question - I've been thinking about things along this line for a while now. I think we were intended to eat "whole" foods...things that are natural and wholesome and nutritious. I don't think McDonald's cheeseburgers and fries fit that definition.





Remember the story of "pulse" in the Bible? God rewards those who seek him with a clean and pure heart. Good question and as always friend, go with God.
Reply:hmm, I think of religion anytime I try and eat hard tac, which is like what they ate during the civil war and the flavor reminds me of the wafers served inside a catholic church.
Reply:No. Not really. My food does not give me lectures, nor sermons, when boiling.


Now, considered BY religions, what is allowed and what not, is completely different story.
