People think carefully about food; they also need an information diet

THE WEEK India

|

January 11, 2026

I eat mostly vegetarian food. Usually, for breakfast, I eat fruits and porridge.

People think carefully about food; they also need an information diet

1 What do you eat in a day?

For lunch, probably rice with vegetables or dal, or something similar. In the evening, usually salad and bread. I don't have a very specific diet.

I would say, though, that the same way people think very carefully about food, they also now need an information diet. You know, information is the food of the mind. Too much food is not good for the body; too much information is also not good for the mind. We need small amounts of high-quality information, and then we need time to digest it. Like with food, you eat for an hour, two hours a day, and then most of the day you just digest the food.

So it is with information as well. You read a book, you watch the news, you have a conversation. Then you need time—you don’t take more information in. You just think and meditate on the information you got; you digest it. And digestion is often the most important part of the entire process.
