A Muslim and a Jew - having a discussion and applauding each other, a beautiful thing.. mutual respect.

Eat healing foods like veg and fruit, honey, turmeric, black seeds and so on. Prevention is key.

Absolutely not. Vegetables, fruits, and plants in general are toxic. Including honey for consumption. Please don’t fall for the long history of lies you’ve been told about your health. Look up Dr. Anthony Chaffee and his KZfaq video called “Plants are trying to kill you”. It’s very important we all get informed and seek the truth.

And I’d like to add, that I am not talking about gmo and chemically treated plants only…I am also talking about plants grown in perfectly clean soil and environment. They have natural poisons and as you eat them, you are slow poisoning your way to debilitation.

Food system is seriously messed up. The people need to make different choices or demand the government makes a change in the food laws.

my question is about uh spirituality and food um and the quran talks a lot about eating what's halal but that's usually coupled with the word being what's legal and maybe can you comment on what you feel tayyip would sort of mean in our current sort of culture and then also what do you feel is the spiritual effect of consuming artificial foods like high fructose corn syrup and you know all these sort of processed things that are added to foods and um packaged you know what's the spiritual effect of eating artificial food and how you know can you sort of comment on the idea of well just to use another tradition in tradition in some traditional buddhism the the chef in the monastery had to be enlightened like they didn't let just anybody into the kitchen and in in in the islamic tradition there's a whole tradition about prep food preparation and the intention of the cook and so that you i i my teachers the people that cooked always made the intention that the food was a healing one of the things is really interesting in our culture you know they when you go to when you go to uh they don't teach grammar anymore so people use transitive verbs as intransitive verbs but when you go to a restaurant they say enjoy right enjoy is you know i mean i guess you could make it a trans intransitive but you usually enjoy something um but here it means the food so but they just say enjoy you know in in traditional cultures they never would say something like that they would say like salud you know with health in in the arabic culture they say with health and well-being which reminds us of the purpose of the food it's not to enjoy enjoyment is part of it i mean it's it's wonderful that food is so enjoyable but that's not the reason why you're actually eating it that's why the glutton eats but but somebody who's serious about maintaining their health they eat for health and and you know we we're we're literally digging our graves with our teeth i mean in our culture we are literally killing ourselves with the food we eat and so so you know i would say that all traditional peoples ate with with just a knowledge of what food was about and this is why the kishara tradition you know the the halal tradition that you have to there's a whole you know native americans took permission uh in many of the their traditions they took permission from the animal in in the islamic church in the jewish tradition there is actual you have to do it in a way you know in our tradition you're not allowed to kill an animal in front of another animal and if you look i mean it's arguable that it's unethical to be to me to eat meat today unless you're on a farm where you're you're you know and there was an interesting article about a man who decided for one year i i didn't see the film but he did a documentary where he only ate what he killed for one year and when he would buy the the the sheep one of the sheep farmers told him you know he said i think i'm going to call that you know zeke and and he said no no don't name them because you'll get can you'll get attached to them and but he chose to name them what he said was the thing that struck him most was the gratitude he felt to the animal when he ate it and in our tradition there's a belief that the animal wants to be it wants to be energy for good deeds because by becoming part of a righteous person it's elevated in its state from an animal that doesn't have free will that only behaves according to its nature to part of of a being with free will and it and the animal hates to be used for for foulness or for misdeeds and so that whole cosmology would which might sound romantic but it was it was real people and i met people that still live like this and my wife does this she cooks with that intention if i cook i cook with that intention when i serve food i cook without attention i'll just tell you one quick story i have a friend of mine who's a connoisseur of tea and he'll only drink certain teas and in england pg tips is like the worst tea and um and and and he went to a friend of mine's house and i know both of them and it was tea time and the english take this very seriously and so uh he he only had pg tips in the house and so he said god he's gonna know this is horrible tea so he goes in and he told me that he made a prayer over the tea and he said he said oh god make this delightful for my friend and he went in and he poured the tea and he told me that he drank and he said you know that's the best cup of tea i think i've ever had and you know there's a reality to these things we don't realize just the power of intention you know nia in arabic which means intention also means seed it's the seed of the thing why you do so and so many of us do things without intention there's no intentionality and intention i know in your tradition in our tradition intention is everything why you're doing something and constantly asking yourself why am i doing this to to check our intentions i i i just disavow that we're not going to clap thing [Applause] i i want to let that applause was also for the question that was a good question because it at least i i i don't want to deflect too much but uh from a jewish tradition this is something we struggle with a great deal uh because the laws of kashru were written you know a thousand years ago and more um and they were designed to be more humane and to make the exact connections that you're talking about and the world in which we live has advanced to the point that one needs a you know a a uh variance from the usda because it's not as advanced and we lost something in that there was a speaker who came just a couple of years ago his name was rabbi arthur waskow um and uh he's sort of the uh the front of something we call the echocash fruit movement and arthur's perspective is if you're saying a blessing over wine that was made with grapes that was sprayed with pesticides that made the people who made them ill it's not holy and if you take organic wine that's been you know that's been made in the purest way and poured into a styrofoam cup it's not kosher um and what he means by that is that the word used to mean something right it meant fit and and and the purpose of uh of of the sharing of food the enjoyment wasn't in the consumption and how much you know uh can we pump into it with you know uh uh uh corn syrup but rather the meal and and the story of your friend praying over his teeth you know that's what that was what it was intended to be you 6:00 NOW PLAYING
