RE: Ital is Vital, food for the Soul... why rastas are so happy and its not just because of the weed!
@celestialcow nice article!
As far as I understand the original rastafarian ital-diet has always included certain smaller fish, and is not the same thing as western-veganism, (even though it is somewhat similar).
thats right, i mentioned it briefly here, some do still eat some fish (i think its ones that aren't known as sacred ones) some may eat eggs or diary, depends on the situation. mainly the point is the these types of rasta are living off grid and sustainable, catching their own, etc to survive. The term western veganism is very strict about its philosophy when it comes to western paradigm most vegan understand and accept otherwise of life that are more in harmony with nature.
also western veganism can be really healthy or totally not, about 10 years ago when i was coming across vegans i thought their diet was really poor, i would see them eating white pasta and loads of carbs, chips and just watch them ballooning! the point with rasta diet its healthy and spiritual, its a feel good diet and minimizes impact on hurting other beings
Jah man!
