must grow our own food for the survival of the devotees, otherwise
our movement is going to turn into a hospital institution. Mukesh already
warned me of this. It all rotates around the food. This is why the
medicines and medical techniques that we use are not at all successful. Most
of the problems (obviously not all) come from bad food, or useless food.
Nowadays the rule is that the better these vegetables in the market look, the
more you can be sure that they were artificially made to look that way to
attract the foolish consumer.
O ISKCON farm communities of the world, arise! Grow the food for the
devotees and give them their health back!
And some used to wonder what the farms were for! Prabhupada said, `Grow your
own food and solve the main problem of life.` There is nothing more
important for our maintenance. And without that factor being taken care of,
who can preach?
Managers out there in COMland, get it together and understand that these
farms are our future. Soon people will wonder where to get any food, what to
speak of healthy food.
Dead North Seas are just the start, the reactions are coming to the land in
the same manner. Prabhupada predicted famines and droughts. Do not think
that he was making a joke, it is our philosophy that sinful people get such
sinful reactions. Therefore he wanted to establish these farming communities
which should actually be filled with farming types. The biggest mistake is
to make a farm something else. It has to function first and foremost as a
farming community, surrounding a core of Krsna conscious brahmanas in the
temple.
This is the real medicine for what ails us.

First I have tested the Schneekoppe liquid lecithin. I took half a bottle. It
seems to be pretty powerful stuff. I can fully confirm the idea that some
devotees are mad after chocolate just because of the lecithin. That was the
first thing I thaught when I took the Schneekoppe stuff.
Then I had some white lecithin pills which I extensively tested during a
5 day bookkeeping marathon. Concentration was very good. But I have taken it
in such an overdose that I am presently not so much inclined to take more of
it. Is it possible that the body stores it somewhere?

Regarding danish nougat abuse, Yadunandana (or Premarnava) checked it out
from the factory. He said it contains cocoa-butter. If that stuff contains
coffein (or whatever it is that makes it forbidden for us) that explains why
devotees get a kick from it.

It uses up some calcium in the body, so one must make sure his calcium uptake
is proper. Otherwise cramps come. Cramps are an indication of calcium
deficiency.
Lecithin has been proven to help people with heart troubles and can even
bring heart attack victims back in shape again. It also cleanses the bloodd
vessels of cholesterol buildup (although devotees don`t have this problem for
some reason.)

You could get in contact with Ujjvala who met Nirula and made the deal with
him. They had already talked about future supplies.
Ujjvala`s a member in COM.
