Oh! what a Cruelty? plz stop think & eat, B4 dat read this.......

[Guest guest]

From harekrishna dot comI know even many more. In the present society it is seems impossible to avoid things of animal origin. Even sugar that we purchase from market is decolourised using activated charcoal--- the source is animal bones !!

______Following

is but a partial list of the un-bonafide ingredients typically found in

today's processed foods. The food additives list was excerpted from " A

Consumer�s Dictionary of Food Additives " by Ruth Winter, M.S. It is

disturbing to note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not

require food manufacturers to clearly label packages -- they are not

even required to disclose that animal products are contained in foods

that might appear to be vegetarian. Hidden away beneath the laboratory

names of food additives, chemicals, emulsifiers, etc., are beef, horse,

and even human by-products. The more you read on this subject, the more

you will scrutinize the exact nature of foodstuffs you purchase for

preparation and offering to Lord Krsna! Please

note that this list does not include egg, onion or garlic ingredients,

all of which are considered un-bonafide, and are not offerable to Sri

Krsna.

" Once

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, " You must at least have enough sense to

test to find out who is a spiritual master and who is not. " For

instance, if we want to purchase something, we must at least have some

idea of what that thing is, otherwise we will be cheated. If we want to

purchase a mango from the market, we must at least know what type of

food a mango is and what it looks like. Similarly, we must have some

preliminary knowledge of the qualifications for a bona fide spiritual

master. "

 

Elevation to Krsna Consciousness, Chapter 6

 

 

Following

is a limited list of some of the brand name products availale on

supermarket shelves which seem, at first glance, to be vegetarian. On

closer inspection, however, we find that a variety of animal products

are included in these foods as flavoring agents, emulsifiers,

additives, etc. As above, we have not included products containing

eggs, onion or garlic in the following list. Eggs are one of the most

often included items on the un-bonafide foods list that you'll find in

processed foods. Fortunately, in most cases, egg substances are clearly

labeled 'egg'.

Prabhupada: " The thing is they supply more spices, and especially that mustard. This is not good. This is prohibited.

Tamala Krsna: It should be mild, prasadam.

Prabhupada:

Practically no spices. Simply little cumin. And this turmeric. Turmeric

you get from India, whole turmeric. This powdered turmeric is very,

very bad.

Tamala Krsna: Unhealthy.

Harikesa: They put sawdust in it.

Prabhupada: That's all.

Tamala Krsna: It's very unhealthy.

Prabhupada: It is very cheating. Any powdered spice is not good.

Harikesa: Asafoetida also.

Prabhupada:

Everything. As soon as it is powder, they will mix with all rubbish

things. And it is very easy to cheat you. You are susceptible for being

cheated. So they take advantage and cheat you. So best thing is to

import spices from India whole and either get it powdered or during

time of cooking you make them paste. That is first class.

 

Srila Prabhupada Morning Walk, 07-01-75, Denver

 

 

AVOIDING ADULTERATED FOODSTUFFS

 

When

buying foodstuffs in or from India, be particularly careful that no

adulterants have been added. Srila Prabhupada instructed that ground

spices should always be avoided, for this reason. Better to buy whole

masalas and grind them yourself, so you're sure of the purity.

 

 

 

Substance

Adulterant

Test

 

Asafoetida

Resin or gum, scented and coloured

a) Pure asafoetida dissolves in water to form milk white solution.b) Pure asafoetida burns with a bright flame on being lightened.

 

Bajri

Ergot seeds 

When put in water the ergot seeds will float after some time

 

Burra sugar

Washing soda

 

a) Gives effervescence with hydrochloric acid if washing soda is present.b) If dissolved in water the washing soda will turn red litmus paper blue.

 

 

Butter & Ghee

Hydrogenated vegetable fat(vanaspati) 

Dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 10cc of Hydrochloric acid, add 10cc of melted butter, ghee and shake thoroughly for 1 minute, allow to stand for 10 minutes. If vanaspati has been added to butter or ghee, the aqueous layer will be coloured red.

 

Cardamon (elaichi)

The essential oil is removed and the pods are dusted with talcum powder

On rubbing, the talcum will stick to the fingers. On tasting if there is hardly any aromatic flavour, it indicates removal of essential oil.

 

Chilly powder 

Sawdust and colours

Sprinkle on the surface of water. Wood shavings float and added colour will stain water

 

Cinnamon (dalchini)

Cassia bark which resembles cinnamon in taste and odour

Added colour comes off in water

 

Cloves (lavang)

Essential oil may have been removed 

If so, the cloves will be shrunken in appearance.

 

Coriander (dhaniya) powder

Horse dung, powdered husk

No test. Buy whole dhaniya and powder at home.

 

Cumin seeds (jeera)

May contain grass seeds coloured with charcoal dust

When rubbed, fingers will turn black.

 

Edible oil

Argemone oil — highly poisonous

A reddish brown precipitate is formed when hydrochloric acid is gently mixed with ferric chloride solution

 

Gur

Metanil yellow

Hydrochloric acid added to the gur solution will turn it magenta in colour

 

Hing

a) Artificial Aromab) Coloured resin or glue

Pure hing dissolves in water, producing a milky white emulsion. If ignited, pure hing burns with a bright flame.

 

Ice cream

a) Saccharineb) Dulien Sweetc) Cyclamate 

The ice cream will have a slightly bitter taste when saccharine is added

 

Milk

Water

Measure the specific gravity with a lactometer, which is available with any chemist. The normal milk values will fall between 1.030 and 1.034. Milkmen are wise to the test and may detect the milk to give the right reading. So this is only a rough test

 

Rawa

Iron fillings to add weight 

Pass a magnet through the rawa. Iron filling will cling to it.

 

Saffron

Scented and coloured hair of maize

The pieces of pure saffron do not break easily whereas those of the maize hair break easily. Pure saffron dissolves in water whereas spurious saffron will remain undissolved and look like small threads if maize hair are present

 

Sago

a) Sandb) Talcum

If sand is mixed, it will be easily detected while eating the preparation of sago

 

Shahjira

a) Wild grassb) Charcoal or brick powd

Rub a little quantity of Shahjira between the palms. Palms will blacken, if charcoal is present.

 

Turmeric

Metanil yellow colouring

When concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to a solution of turmeric powder it turns magenta, if only turmeric is present the colour disappears, with metanil yellow the colour persists

 

I found this post in a site that propogates hinduism and madhwa

philosophy. Spare 2 mins to go through it and spread it to as many

people as u can.ALL SWEETS ARE NOT VEGETARIAN:

Everybody would have seen sweets coated with silver foils on top to

make it look attractive. These are called as ‘VARAKH’. It is used in

pan too. These kinds of sweets are more popular in marriages and social

functions in north India and it is well known in south India also if

not that popular. There is a very bitter story associated with the

manufacturing of these silver foils which most of us would not know.

A cow is killed and its intestine is taken, these foils are prepared by

keeping silver pieces in between layers of cow’s intestine and

hammering it continuously (in some articles it is given as bull). This

is used because the cow’s intestine will not tear or break into pieces

even if it beaten continuously to make the silver pieces into a flat

paper. I’m telling this briefly because the main intention of this post

is to just create awareness. Just type the subject SILVER FOILS ARE NOT

VEGETARIAN in Google search and you’ll find pages and pages of

articles, statistics regarding this. I will only mention a few:

*3-4 years back AIR INDIA banned the distribution of such sweets in their flights because of this reason*

275 tones of silver is being used for this purpose each year in INDIA

alone (imagine the number of cows being slaughtered for its intestine).

* Sometimes, even sheep skin is used and silver leaves are used in

various other industries also. This fact is hidden for the sake of

profit, if people in India knew this, it’s usage will vanish overnight

(there is an article regarding this in the supplement bhoomika of

prajavani paper, date 16-01-2010)

*Thousands of animals are killed for this purpose.The

most shocking thing is that it is happening in a place where sanatana

dharma is largely being followed, which out rightly prohibits the

slaughtering of cows and states that cows must be worshiped. The fact

that the silver foil in prepared in such a manner is undebatable and

completely true. As the price of silver is very high, sometimes

aluminum is also used which will result in poisoning.

These are few of my suggestions which I think will be accepted by all:•

we must make a sankalpa never to eat these sweets coated with silver

foils or distribute them.(atleast make sure they are not coated)•

Inform at least a few people whom we care about and are close to us, it

will hurt them if they have eaten it, but that must not prevent us from

telling them.

• It will be more appropriate if the people having authority speak

about this issue, so that the entire Hindu community will be informed

about this.•

‘We don’t eat it, we do not care about others’ attitude, I think is not

appropriate. We all know that all food items are adulterated in one

form or the other, but this kind of a thing is just not acceptable. If

more people come to know about this, it will automatically result in

the less usage of these silver foils.

As I have already told you this post was written to create an awareness

among people and has no bad intention and I request you all to take it

in the right spirit.
