Are you discussing about just buying it from the market, or about if it is

offerable to the Lord?

 

You can eat what you want depends on your conciousness, but preparations

made by karmis are non offerable to Lord Sri Krsna?

 

Does some one can quote about it, please? I haven't any folio.

Folio Search: food* & nondevot*

 

One should carefully avoid eating food offered by nondevotees. Indeed, a

devotee should be very strict in not accepting food from a nondevotee,

especially food prepared in restaurants or hotels or on airplanes.

Madhya 12.195

 

Other rules are that one should not offer foodstuff which is cooked by a

non-VaiŠava

NoD 8: Offenses to Be Avoided

 

Therefore we do not allow anyone to cook who is not a devotee. KŠa does

not accept anything from the hands of a nondevotee.

PQPA 6: The Perfect Devotee

 

....those who are nondevotee, those who are not initiated, those who are not

chanting regularly, their offering to KŠa will not be accepted.

®r…mad-Bh€gavatam 1.8.44 -- Los Angeles, May 6, 1973

 

As far as possible we should not offer to the Deity things which are

prepared by nondevotees. We can accept from them raw fruits, grains or

similar raw things. So far cooking and preparing, that should be strictly

limited to the initiated devotees.
