The talk of Vitamin

The sound of Vitamin one hears everywhere. Even the unknown vegetable products are raised to dignity by the use of this term. This term has become more fashionable than fashion itself. With the advent of a great soul, his name comes to be attached to all sorts of things. His principles and practices in life may be diametrically opposed to the articles to which his name is attached. But what does the sordid being who wants to make rupees annas pies out of everything care? Thus you hear of Gandhi Astrologer, Gandhi beedi, Gandhi Restaurants and what not. When the west boosted the term Vitamin, everyone began to echo the word and now you hear that name attached to all things deserving and destroying. You hear of Vitamin Greens, Vitamin Vadai, Vitamin seeds, Vitamin Chutney, etc. It is all one vitamin fashion. But this stops with this fashion only!

Bhasmasura wanted to lay his hands on Shiva’s head, though the power he had to burn whatever he laid his hands on, was given to him only by Shiva! Bhasmasura had at least the merit of austerities. Even that merit is lacking in Coffee. Coffee has no doubt come out of Austerity, the Thapas! The bosses of the Coffee plantations do really perform Thapas for amassing great wealth and in the sacrificial fire of their desire these had poured in the sweated labour and blood of the poor! Out came from this Thapas, the great terror to the health, this Coffee seed!

We have advised that a little pepper may be added if absolutely found necessary along with food preparations. There may be a fear whether life could be sustained after eschewing both the chilli and the pepper. It is our duty to state the true laws of health. For the question of ‘possible or not possible’ we answer that it must be made possible! The quality and burning property are the same both for the pepper and the chilli. The intensity only varies. The physical culturists and physical scientists of the west and the New World raise a hue and cry that these are very bad for health and life. Mr. BernarrMac Fadden condemns this pepper in no uncertain terms. His words are entitled to great weight as coming from one who has spent a life time on health and bodily well-being. Irrespective of the colour, white, black or red, the pepper is bad.
