Food for the Body, Food for the Soul

Baha'i Perspectives October 15th, 2009

So, how do we approach food and nutrition from a spiritual angle?  While there is not a Bahá’í ‘diet,’ we do have some guidelines about where we – as a civilization – will be heading in the future. It’s a process, individually and collectively, of moving towards health, not just for ourselves, but for every living thing on the planet.

Listen to this excellent podcast, entitled “Nutrition from a Bahá’í Perspective: Food for the Body, Food for the Soul”, prepared by Margaret Tash.

    Dear Margaret,

    Thank you so much for doing the research and presenting this information. I’ve been vegan for almost 20 years, for all the reasons you talk about. Personally I think that everything ‘Abdu’l-Baha talks about in regards to nutrition and health is for NOW, not for some time in the distant future.

    Thank you again…I sent it to all the Baha’is I have email addresses for…..

    Margaret,

    Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your article. I hope it gets shared a lot. Your research, analysis, and recommendations are extremely helpful to anyone interested in health and responsibly sharing the resources of our world.

    Thanks again and please keep us informed of any additional thinking on this topic.

    Best regards,

    Dear Carol and Bill,
    Thanks so much for your kind comments on this program. I believe that ‘Abdu’l-Baha did want us to move forward with this information and not to wait until the next Manifestation of God appears!

    I would be happy to send you another document, six pages long, which contains many more quotations from the Baha’i Writings, references, websites, and suggestions for actions we can take.

    Please email me at: spruces50@gmail.com

    Additionally, I plan to research the topic further, and would be happy to share those findings as they develop.

    Thanks again for writing!

    With warm regards,
    Margaret
