I always thought the yogi diet was quite weird. Also extremely confusing, as there are different forbidden foods for different folk. And no garlic or onions! How can one live without these foods and be happy? I do think you hit on something important when you say this: "The yogic approach to food makes sense. I wish I had the discipline to follow it more closely." I think there are probably several paths of happiness re diet. That would be the one you choose. I would choose one that didn't harm any animal at all (dairy farming and eating animals for meat harm animals). I do that because it makes me happy not to harm any living creature, and that is more important than pure pleasure in eating things like cheese. But we would both be on a much better path than the kind of mindless middle-American one, where people shop at the supermarket and don't look at labels or think about what they are eating, and just sort of mindlessly take in all the poisons and hormones and everything else bad about the typical diet in these parts. People have been eating legumes since . . . forever? They are generally recognized as extremely healthful foods, and are dietary staples over much of the planet (which does not consume much meat). Are you suggesting that legumes in the diet cause harmful blood clotting? I would like to read more about that.
