What role does food play in spiritual elevation?     

From Ra Sekhi Arts Temple practitioners and masters of Kemetic reiki comes a unique book of vegetarian, vegan and raw food recipes blended with instructions for herbal remedies and spiritual baths.  Whether already enjoying a plant and fruit based lifestyle or just beginning one, readers will find this book relevant, assessable, and very helpful. Descriptions and explanations are given as to why alkaline food consumption is good for us.  The authors identify foods of high and low vibration, as well as extol the benefits of fasting.  The authors contend that a healthy diet is a pathway leading to optimal wellness-that creates favorable conditions for attaining spiritual enlightenment and elevation.

Meatout has grown explosively since its inception in 1985 to become the world's largest annual grassroots diet education campaign. Thousands of caring people in all 50 U.S. states and a host of other countries welcome Spring with colorful educational events. These range from simple information tables, exhibits, and cooking demonstrations to elaborate receptions and festivals. Visitors are asked to "kick the meat habit on March 20 (first day of spring) and explore a wholesome, nonviolent diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Several mainstream health advocacy organizations, including the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and the American Heart Association, have since launched their own campaigns to promote consumption of plant-based foods. 

Meatout reflects national trends:

Mainstream health advocacy organizations and the official government publication "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" tout plant-based foods.

Over 30 million Americans have explored a meat-free diet.  One in five teens thinks vegetarianism is "cool." National beef and veal consumption have dropped by 25 and 70%, respectively. Major manufacturers and retailers are marketing meat-free and dairy-free meals. Several national fast food chains are offering veggie burgers and several major baseball parks are selling veggie dogs.
