I have none.

Just 200 years ago, around 90% of the population lived in extreme poverty. By 2018, it was around 10%. The reduction in global poverty has enabled all sorts of other positive changes. Life expectancy has shot up all over the world, more than doubling in Africa since 1900

I put your numbers into the all-knowing magical Google and confirmed them. Got it!
 
I personally think the world got a lot better when the rest of the world discovered spicy peppers. Just imagine Thai food without chili peppers. Such a sad world.

I cook a red chilli pepper with my meal about once a month(and tonight is the night). As well as an enhancer to the taste, its affect(should this be effect?) is to clear any debris in mind. (Ie. the 'wow' when the heat hits.)

Who tell's such, good householder? Yes, I am a good householder who has also lived a renunciate's lifestyle in my younger days.
None is more superior than the other, even though many like to believe so.

I hope you learn to enjoy your food and appreciate all your senses.

I think most of us agree Food is Good. If you believe as i do that everything Good comes from God that means God intended it to he enjoyed. Within moderation of course 😍

Yours wouldn't approve such if seeing that what's your joy is many others pain. Wise therfore reflect their past beloves in the food. How, a little wise, would be delight if eating his own son?

Maybe I'm just that good of a cook, but when I cook food everyone comes together. My family and friends are quite a mix ethnically, politically, and with their religious backgrounds. But when people find out I'm cooking, especially when I grill Mexican food, everyone shows up and gets along. That's the closest I can come to "breaking bread" with others, which to me is a religious experience of its own. If there was a way I could prepare a meal and cover the costs to bring everyone here together, I'm certain we would have a great time.

That's actually a very bad wish, wishing others to become and stay bond in low and painful realms. Wrong is, how ever, done out of not knowing, of which is then also no excuse, good householder.

Is there a contest to see which forum member can file the most incomprehensible post? The only thing consistantly identifiable in your posts is your condescending arrogance.

I think a good book for you to read is "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis.
It's all about the people in heaven trying to bring the people in hell into heaven.
It's a short read and worth your time.
Here's a brief description at The Great Divorce - Wikipedia

Giving food (rightly obtained, not doing harm for such), generosity (not for any trade) is most praiseworthy, good householder. Wishing others to receive beloved, as well (as long not "drugs"). One who give food, gives life and strength, and it's therefore reason for longlife and strengh (especially when given toward virtuoso). To that amount.

It's not a contest, but useful, to pick out those with wisdom and flexibility to gain the underlying hardwood, good Brahman. Without proper attention it's just waste of time.
A person less reflective, wouldn't take on, and go on searching food elsewhere. Right?

Yes, adds tell yours likewise. But it's a religious forum and not that of the opposite. And yes, religions have the purpose to guide toward heavens. If people would know good, know bad, their wouldn't first not stuck in the painfull sensual realm, and second not need guidance.

If it's a revolting and opposing good gathering here, Atma certain can't assist in suicidal undertakings.

The topic is about faith in good (doing), and rejoicing and seeking low sensual enjoyment, which increases just cemeteries and pain, isn't. Talk on such as food, pleasures of senses, is called "animal-talk" under religious people, and because increasing craving and improper attention, lead not only to all evil but also into low states.

Yes, with the lure of sensual pleasures one can unite all, lead them even into war or encourage to sacrifices a lot. One can even stop large ant communities stop large fighting each other, by putting sugar next. Yet as soon as one is no more able to provide with sensuality further, the old goes on, and the former great helper and leader is the first who get sacked...

It's a lure and breaks down as soon as resource are consumed of. So better rejoice with people who come if good householder has nothing to give, even need help. The rest are just "evil friend", friends in joy and far away if needed.
