FAQ
What is ‘Mindful Eating’ in Chapter 6?
Mindful eating means paying complete attention to what we eat — observing its look, smell, and taste, chewing slowly, appreciating everyone who helped grow it, and taking only as much as we need.
Why should we never waste food on our plate?
Every grain reaches our plate through months of hard work by farmers, labourers, and transporters using precious water and soil; wasting food disrespects their effort.
