How is the female energy connected to food and diet?

Even if you read Upanishads, the first importance is given to the person, who is cooking the food. It says, that the person with a pleasant mind will give pleasant energy to the food. That's why we believe in our mothers. The food should be prepared with love, then it become medicine. Mother is always preparing food with the love. Women are creators, they have a Shakti power (female energy) in their hormones. If there is a God, there is a mother for the God.

There is a deep connection between divine power of god and rest of the world. Not only goddesses, but also for example Ganesh, one of the most favorite gods of India, which brings good luck, is associated with sweet taste. He is usually depicted bit obese and the archanas which we are doing for him is normally anti-diabetic. We give him for example kavita, jumbo or karuga. 

Note: Archana is a special, personal, abbreviated puja done by temple priests in which the name, birth star and family lineage of a devotee are recited to invoke individual guidance and blessings.
