Not to argue about the whole issue, but I was thinking that this could open up also arguments to eat like animal derived things for health reasons. So how to see what would be still o.k. what not. Also some devotees drink coffee for "health reasons" even certain herbs like acorus calamus have similar effect but not the bad influences to be like drug. Also onion, garlic are considered "healthy" by certain medical practices, but certainly not to eat by vaishnavas. Fish oil, etc.. > I know whole zones where devotees did this "UT". Didn't kill the movement > there:) Where there any instance of a vaishnava saint practicing anything alike? Maybe if someone considers it as o.k. for him personally, but maybe we should be careful to promote it as an "ISKCON movement strategy".
