We all know how Jesus died

but do you know how Buddha died?

He ate some bad food

Offered to him by a humble woman

As her only gift

He knew it was bad

He ate it anyway being humble and gracious

And then he died!

Is that something we should do?

Accept bad when we know better?

I don’t think so.

We don’t need to be gracious when we know something harms us.

We can say “No Thank You!" and move on.

Perhaps it is our duty to save ourselves from things that are bad for us

Especially bad food.

If this was our only practice

To choose healthy food

For ourselves and others

It would transform our world.
