On my TTC at Estes Park (1970) there was a group of prospective TM
teachers who had adopted the so-called 'Mucousless Diet'. And at one
of Maharishi's lectures they were recommending it to Maharishi as an
effective healthy alternative.
As I recall, at mealtimes these people would only eat uncooked
vegetables and fruits. In my view they appeared to have pasty skin,
low hanging bottom eye-lids and looked like they were dying of
something.
Anyway, I recall Maharishi answering this one enthusiastic proponent
and chuckling, "What! ...no rice and bread and butter?"
Here in the States that's being marketed
as a raw-foods diet, with its proponents
making it sound like it's something brand-
new. I think it sounds not only incredibly
boring and tasteless, but not really all
that healthy either.
