“In India we say that taste is everything.
But the taste of the food I ate when I was growing up is not there anymore.
The sanskrit word Rasa has three meanings: “taste”, “emotion” and “essence of life”. When we loose the taste of our food we are loosing our emotions and our spirit at the same time.
I think that the decline in the quality of our lives is strictly interconnected with a decline in the quality of our food. Now I understand that it all comes down to the mutual relationships between seed, soil, food and ourselves.”
