10. Mahatma Gandhi’s Breakfast Was Simple and Delicious
Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian non-violent activist known for fasting for long periods of time in order to protest British tyranny over his home country. He also protested against racial discrimination in South Africa, tax revolts, and eventually became responsible for leading India to regain their independence. One of his forms of protest was to go on a hunger strike, where he refused to eat food or drink water until his demands were met. So, of course, he would not have been eating at all during that time.
His journals indicate that years before he started starving himself on a regular basis, Mahatma Gandhi’s favorite breakfast to have in London was mixing cocoa in his porridge with goat’s milk. (In India, cows are sacred, so you can’t have that!) Most chocolate lovers will agree that his breakfast of choice sounds pretty good, actually. Even if you don’t have goat milk lying around, his breakfast could be replicated by mixing a hot cocoa pack with some oatmeal and milk.
