a man who dispose of garbage personally to reduce weight,another applies special(?) Oil before gardening to reduce tummy!!

Food Habits, Western Impact On South India

First, the eating Habits.

Normally South India takes meals in the morning,refreshments in the afternoon and meals at night.

This consisted of a healthy, yet not taxing to the stomach.

Then came the habit of the British Culture.

Breakfast-Are we breaking a fast from 10 pm the last night?

Then Lunch.

Evening Tea(?) substituted by us with refreshments.

Then Dinner or Supper.

I am not sure how many know the difference between Supper and Dinner!

Timings: Around 8.30 am,1 pm,4, 7 pm and 10 pm.

Compare this with South Indian Timings ; 10 am,4 pm,7 to 8 pm.

Jainism and Hinduism lay stress on Food and Timings for better physical, mental and Spiritual health.

Jainism is more particular in that it proscribes partaking of Food after Sun down.
