Colour my Plate!
We have been eating the same type of food with the same ingredients consumed with different types of pieces of bread. We need to think about how much variety is present in the food we are eating and what we are missing out on! We all know that the type of food we are having has a direct effect on our body. “Every human being is born with innate faith, which can be of three kinds—sattvic (mode of goodness), rajasic (mode of passion), or tamasic (mode of ignorance).

All people possess faith, and whatever the nature of their faith, that is verily what they are.” This verse shows that we are highly influenced by the kind of food we are eating and in turn affectsthe people we are becoming.
