Some prefer the human proximity in restaurants..

they are lonely or seek to get out of the house.

Others travel lightly and so eat in restaurants.

Still others hate to cook, to wash dishes, to spend

time in harshly lighted grocery stores with their

commercial vibrations.

Another group cannot afford the many

costs of eating out:

1 the calories, 2 the price, 3 the tips, 4 the time 5 the reheated food 6 the transportation costs of coming and going 7 unclean ecoli (colon bacteria) hands, 8 the greater chance of food poisoning, 9 the less pure water 10 the grills and pans on and which flesh has been cooked, 11 the old oil, 12 the salad bars sprayed with toxic sulfite preservatives correlated to diarrhea and other side effects, 13 the nonorganic food,

14 the state taxes taken for hunter dominated wildlife agencies, execution (in 9 states), forest killing highways 15. the lack of vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and uncooked options. They decide to

have potlucks for their friends at home.

Sathya Sai Baba: "Avoid restaurants where meat is served." (Among many other reasons

such as nonviolence, health, environmental action are that )"Vibrations of the cook

enter the food."

The National Restaurant Association which is in league with the meat, fish and dairy industries has for many decades

suppressed vegan and vegetarian eating promotion.
