Hi
Seeds and plants: it’s strange yes for seeds and plants do not have a gandhabba, or they’ve ? It’s like there are two tendencies,one where the priority is existence/life-continuum the other the end of it.
Raw food: Contrary to what alot might think raw food is bad for health and the Gotama had also great knowledge about health. Among his adepts there was a sotapanna (perhaps above sotapanna) that was the doctor of the royal family.
