Comments on: Waiter, There’s Woo in My Food: Sri Chinmoy http://skepticalvegan.com/2012/01/28/waiter-theres-woo-in-my-food-sri-chinmoy/ Sun, 16 Jun 2013 23:09:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: KJ http://skepticalvegan.com/2012/01/28/waiter-theres-woo-in-my-food-sri-chinmoy/#comment-2354 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:54:32 +0000 http://skepticalvegan.wordpress.com/?p=981#comment-2354 The Sri Chinmoy restaurant in San Diego, Jyoti Bihanga, uses bone-char sugar in nearly every dish on the menu, but still bills them as vegan. I wrote them a letter several years ago, and they promised that by Thanksgiving they would be using vegan sugar. I went back a couple times after Thanksgiving, but they hadn’t stopped using the offensive sugar.

Cultists are fine by me, though. If omnivores can have Chick-fil-a and Sunday blue laws, I can have my curry.

Everyone was telling me about this amazing vegetarian restaurant in the East Bay, and then when I moved there it had JUST closed down. I was so pissed, and at that time there really wasn’t too much decent vegan food in the area. I had no idea what the backstory was, though.

They closed their doors because the world was going to end in 2000. I remember that weight lifting photo on the wall. Ridiculous!

You can’t whitewash the issues with some feel-good quote. You need to address the accusations at hand.

As Sri Chinmoy said: yesterday i was intelligent, i wanted to change the negative that i saw in the world, today i am wise, i am changing my own negative qualities. Love is the answer, meditation is the way to get it.

And if I am the “only cultist” then, using the same criteria, please explain how Sri Chinmoy is not a cultist…
If you have specific criticism of the above post then please by all means address those specific points and add some substance to your attack. Otherwise I’m gonna have to assume this is a baseless insult rather than actual criticism and delete it.

They run an annual “Veggie Fest” which gives top speaker billing to their guru and is one big woo-fest.

Will Tuttle is a cult apologist who looks to be starting his own sect with a sorta updated twist by offering a training course to be a “World Peace Diet Facilitator”. Basically a full on vegan death-grip co-option.
