Educational Q&A
One should avoid food that is ritually/ethically impure—especially food tainted by intoxicants, leftovers/defiled remnants, and food selfishly reserved for oneself before serving others—because right conduct (dharma) includes purity, restraint, and consideration for dependents.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and proper conduct, Vyāsa enumerates categories of food deemed unfit to eat, using dietary discipline as a practical expression of ethical living.
