What is perfect food or diet?
There is no perfect food or diet and the reason there is no perfect food or diet is that what we need is determined by a variety of individual conditions and factors.
Some of these include climate, geographical location, ancestry, physical and emotional state, work, and life-style. Thus, what we choose to eat becomes an expression of all aspects of our being.
While, for the most part, people are the same in their basic nutritional needs (protein, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc), amounts for each may differ according to environmental as well as constitutional and hereditary factors.
What may be a natural and appropriate food for an aboriginal living in a complete state of interdependence with his or her natural surrounding is quite different from the requirements of an Indian yogi.
