Pho

I used to work for a man who was from India. One day of a week, he took a vegetarian noodle soup for lunch. He wasn't vegetarian. His reason of eating vegetarian food was to get rest his stomach.

It's been almost 20 years, but I sometimes remember the conversation.

Our stomach works hard to digest meat. I like the idea of choosing food that is easy to digest to care about own body.

That is macrobiotics; listening to your body needs.
