WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH!!!!
OBJECTIVE
Bring awareness of what foods and materials are appropriate for Gursikhs to consume and what should be avoided
OBVIOUS FOODS/ DRINKS TO AVOID!
ANIMAL MEAT
FISH
EGGS
ALCOHOL
HUMAN
ANY MATERIALS DERIVED FROM ABOVE(TRICKY)
MEAT!
A lot of controversy but the bottom line
NO MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Killing innocent animals for satusfying you tongue is a sin and is selfish(ego)
This is an obvious one
FISH!
Pretty much the same thing but science defines fish as a seperate from most land mammals but the bottom line is
NO FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some foods or supplements contain fish oils
these are dervided from fish, therefore are not for us
there are supplements that are vegetarian available at organic stores
Also you are not allowed to have OMEGA 3-OR -6- OR-9!!
EGGS!!!!!
Eggs are meant to be fertilized naturally to give rise toa baby anima, but humans manipulate this to make food
SO NO EGGS!!!!
You need to extra careful with this one because
baked goods
breads
pasteries
etc. may contain eggs
ALWAYS READ LABELS BEFORE EATING ANYTHING
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES
BAKE AT HOME
use Egg replacement powder available at most grocery stores
Look up recies on the internet
Experiment with ingredients and try new combinations
YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WITH WAT U CAN MAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN FIND THAT DONT HAVE EGGS IN IT ARE
eggless mayonnaise called nayonaise
Salad dressing like cucumber is okay
most pancakes mixes
however always read the labels to make sure
this list can go on................................................ ...........lol
Alchohol
Most of us are too young to drink anyways, but be careful about what people give you to drink
watch out for mixed drinks
Avoid vanilla extract and similair flavouring agents that come from alchohol
READ LABELS ON COUGH/ COLD MEDICATION
JUST BECUASE YOU DONT GET DRUNK, DOESN'T MAKE IT OKAY TO CONSUME ANY FORM OF ALCHOHOL!!!!
TRICKY ONES SO FAR ARE THE EGG AND ALCOHOL
HUMAN
We're not quit there yet in Canada but we're headed there
Don't EAT HUMANS
The best way to do this
is to avoid letting your fall in love with other animal meats
FOR EXAMPLE
i have heard from ppl that they have eaten snakes, bears etc, and then when you ask them wat it tastes like they all say CHICKEN!!!!! SO when ppl start eating human there gonna say that we taste like CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!lol
TRICKY: THE ONES NEED CLOSER EXAMINATION

HOW CAN U FIND OUT WHETHER THESE ARE FROM ANIMALS OR NOT
CALL THE TOLL-FREE# AND ASK!!!!
In Canada: FDA requires all foods sold in this counrty to be fully labeled and provide a contact phone number for inquires
