Why to eat simple food

[Guest guest]

Simple food like rice, dal, capatis, vegetables, milk and sugar constitute a

balanced diet, but sometimes it is found that an initiated person, in the

name of prasada, eats very luxurious foodstuff. Due to his past sinful life

he becomes attracted by Cupid and eats good food voraciously. It is clearly

visible that when a neophyte in Krsna consciousness eats too much, he falls

down. Instead of being elevated to pure Krsna consciousness, he becomes

attracted by Cupid. The so-called brahmacari becomes agitated by women, and

the vanaprastha may again become captivated into having sex with his wife.

(SB 4.26.13 purport)
