Food is often used as a tool to manipulate, sedate, medicate, and dumbdown. Food is often used maliciously to develop a sense of obligation and indebtedness. If you eat the wrong food you make yourself vulnerable and can compromise your defenses. This point cannot be overemphasized. Fasting however helps you secure the advantage and to maintain a position of power.

The #1 reason to fast is to help you live a life of abundance, energy, and consistent health. That is why the #1 benefit of fasting is that it gives you a love for fruits and vegetables and makes it so easy and enjoyable to eat a plant-based diet.
