Our diet is mainly a revealer, an indicator, of our innate nature, our constitution, habits of life and thought. Character is not determined by diet, but diet is determined by character. When man is reformed, refined and resurrected by the light of truth; when high ideals have held him; taken possession of his mind; when his soul loves purity to such an extent that impurity and uncleanness in food have become obnoxious and offensive to him; then a real reform is instituted within him, which will endure ad grow to the end of time. No arbitrary methods, no force from with-out ever brings “change of heart” from within. It must be  born there or it will be unreal. I do not care what you eat so long as you, the partaker of food, are the same. All food will be converted into yourself. If you are impure, you will extract impurity from the finest food. “Out of the same flower the bee extracts honey, and the spider poison.” If you are sensual, all food will nourish your sensuality. If you are pure enough you may ear pork and not become swinish – but you will have to eat such things with your eyes closed and conscience asleep.
