Yoghurt

Ahimsa - self-made yoghurt

A few weeks back I got a comment. The yogini suggested to write also about further aspects about yoga and not only about asana practice. I’d like to give it a try.

My first topic touches indeed two important topics. It’s about food and about plastic. The cup on the left side contains vegan yoghurt without sugar. It doesn’t harm animals, yet the plastic cup is bad for the nature as it’s almost impossible to destroy it. It spoils the sea, insofar it has the potential to kill life in the oceans. One can use this cup only once. On the right side is a glass jar with yoghurt. It’s self-made with yoghurt microbes, but with cow milk. I use this glass jar for decades already. If I don’t break it, I’m sure I can use it for an eternity. There is no waste at all.

The best solution is to make vegan yoghurt. When using yoghurt microbes one has much better yoghurt than the bought ones. It’s a tiny bit more expensive, but one can taste the difference.

Often I’m astonished how easy it is to do something for our nature. In addition it’s also better for us. It’s a win-win situation. We avoid to eat micro plastic and the self-made yoghurt tastes better, in addition we don’t burden animals and nature.
