“飲和”語出《庄子·則陽 》：“故或不言而飲人以和”；

 

“食德”語出《周易·頌》：“六三，食舊德”。

 

意思是给人吃（喝）後感覺到自在、享受和樂，享受到先人的德澤。簡單说，飲要和谐，食應道德。

 

孔子亦云：「食不厭精，膾不厭細。食饐而餲，魚餒而肉敗，不食。色惡，不食。臭惡，不食。失飪，不食。不時，不食。割不正，不食。不得其醬，不食。肉雖多，不使勝食氣。唯酒無量，不及亂。」（鄉黨篇）

 

意即日用食糧不妨弄得精細。不要吃有異味的食物和變壞的魚、肉。食物顏色不新鮮、食物烹調不妥，皆不可吃。未到用餐的時侯，不吃東西。肉切得不方正、沒有合適之調味醬料，不吃。肉量不可比飯多。飲酒沒有限制，但不可酒醉。

 

這正好與現代人健康飲食原則和環保等觀念不謀而合。

 

假如我們可以吃素，當然最好，但假若真要吃肉，亦可選擇對大自然損害比較少，及比較自然飼養、折磨較少的肉類。

 

中國自古已著重食療、上醫治未病等，古希臘醫藥之父希波克拉底亦有名言『食物即你的醫藥，醫藥即你的食物』！ 可見挑選食物之重要！

本店網頁希望對健康飲食，環保方面都盡一點心意宣揚。謝謝支持。

 

 

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" - Greek physician, Hippocrates.

 

Chinese medicine classics also states the same truth! Food is so important to us that it worths our efforts in choosing food.

 

Ancient Chinese philosopher, Zhuangzi and the most important Chinese classics, Zhouyi, taught us that our food and drink must be harmonized with the universe, and complied with morality.

 

Confuzi also said that food must be fresh, made delicate and cooked properly; must go with proper seasoning and sauce; must be decent, no non-seaonal foods, no meals at the wrong timing; and meat quantity must not exceed that of rice. As to wines, not-to-be-drunk is the limit.   

 

These philosophies has already covered all the morden concepts about food and drink : healthy, nice and decent, environmentally friendly and be merciful on animals.

 

It will be very ideal to be a vegetarian. However, due to certain reasons, if we can’t, better choose organic food and drink which less harm the environment and torture the animals.

 

Besides providing foods bearing the above concepts behind, we also wish to share to you some useful information regarding nice and healthy food and drinks.

 

Thank you for your great support!
