You are what you eat

Param, the wife, was in a panel discussion on the local ABC Radio in Brisbane yesterday. They covered the interview in an article on their website today:

Param Satya, a Hare Krishna chef at Govinda’s vegetarian restaurant believes the people are becoming increasingly interested in the food they eat. “There are a growing number of people who are concerned about what’s involved with the food they eat because we can see that what you eat becomes what you are,” she says.

For Satya, the food’s history is more important than the food’s expense. “What I feel is more important than cost, because if I have a clear conscience that no harm has come even to the vegetables or the environment or the persons who are producing it, then the cost is no issue…. Everyone has to make the choice themselves, but we have to give them the knowledge about what’s happening because most people don’t know what’s involved in their food.”
