“You are what you eat,” says the old adage. The food a person ingests plays a major role in the formation of his body and personality. Scientific study has shown that all animals, with the exception of human beings, have an instinctive sense directing them to eat only what is suitable for them. For example, cows will eat only grass; tigers will eat only meat. The physiology of the digestive system, the metabolic action of the body, along with the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and food supplements, combinations and components vary from one species to another.

When there is an aberration and animals are fed foods that are not suited to their physiological makeup the results are fatal. An example of this is the mad cow disease that began in England and spread throughout Europe. The cause: feeding cattle meat and bone derivatives.
The human being is an omnivore (eater of both plants and animals) and can choose his own menu. A person could feed himself to total disaster physically and on the body/soul level. Just as the nutritional requirements of animals are suited to their characteristics, human nutrition is also undoubtedly essential for physical health and holistic, body/soul well-being. A person must therefore be aware of what goes into his mouth.
