Detailed explanation-1: -To stay healthy and spiritually connected to the earth, Rastas eat a natural diet free from additives, chemicals, and most meat. The style of primarily vegan eating is known as ital cooking. Rastas commonly say, “Ital is vital, ‘’ pointing to how the diet got its name.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the strictest Rastafarians follow what most people would recognize as a vegan, macrobiotic diet. This means they refrain from ingesting animal products, such as meat, dairy and eggs, and only eat food that is fresh, local and in season.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meat is considered dead and therefore works against Livity and the elevation of Life Energy. Most Rastas avoid eating pork as well as shellfish, as they are considered to be meat derived from scavengers. Many Rastas denounce the use of cigarettes as well as alcohol due to their harmful effects on one’s health.
