Evolution of the Human Diet

Here is my view of the evolution of the human diet. For the purposes of this article, meat is defined as animal flesh and yes, fish is an animal. So is shrimp! There are 12 stages as follows:

1. Excessive Heavy Meat-Eating (Typical American Diet)

2. Moderate Meat Eating (Typical Indian non-vegetarian diet)

3. Light Meat-Eating ( Typical for those who are cutting down on meat and trying to become vegetarians)

4. Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian (One who consumes dairy and eggs whether by themselves or in cakes and other foodstuffs that are made with eggs, but no meat)

5. Ovo-vegetarian (One who consumes eggs but no meat or dairy)

6. Lacto-Vegetarian (One who consumes dairy but no meat or eggs)

7. Vegan (One who abstains from all animal products including dairy, honey, leather, fur, wool, silk etc.)

8. Raw Vegan (One who consumes only living foods that are uncooked, eg. raw vegetables, fruits etc.)

9. Fruitarian (One who consumes only the 'fruit' of a plant. This includes nuts, rice, etc. any fruit whereby the plant itself is not killed in the process. For example, spinach and onions would not fall into this category.)

10. Liquidarian (One who consumes only fresh fruit juices and water)


11. Waterian (One who sustains himself or herself by only consuming water, nothing else, and yes there are many waterians all around the world)

12. Breatharian/Pranarian/Solarian (One who sustains himself by breath alone, by the universal energy or love that is all around us that they have been able to tap into, or by the Sun energy which also is all around us. Such people maintain confidentiality for fear of public ridicule. Some Himalayan Yogis are breatharians but ordinary people can be breatharians too. I know of some! It would be wonderful if we can tap into this energy too as it would put an end to world hunger.)

As we move up this chain of evolution, the resulting effect is the opening up of the compassion in our hearts.
For example, a breatharian cannot be a serial killer. There is no way he can have malice in his heart and still be able to tap into the universal love. No way!


With each stage, our heart opens up a little more. Personally going from stage 6 to stage 7, I have already felt the difference. I have become closer to that universal power. As we move up, more and more, we are more in tune with nature, more in tune with others, more sensitive, more in touch with the inate vibration that is inherent in all of us.
