There is another sect being researched called Desteni, which engages extensively in many types of Mind Control, like the Chang Hai sect.
And Desteni also engages in Food Control, using the bogus Blood-Type diet [

As stated virtually every sect uses some type of Food Control on their followers, as its another powerful way to control and regulate their behavior 3-5x a day, everyday.
Food-control is a window into mind-control, which is what give the sects leader the influence they have over their followers. Which is the real reason Ching Hai does it the way she does it, which will be explained soon.
And each sect uses Food Control in their own way.
Some might ban all sugar, or various food combinations. This way when a person breaks the rules of the diet, then they feel GUILT, SHAME, self-blame, and that is more failure of an unattainable goal.
Some New Thought sects do the opposite, and say you can eat anything, and all that matters is your THOUGHT when you eat. So according to the New Thoughters, you can eat Big Macs all day, and your mind can transmute that into healthy food. That is not hyperbole, that is what they think.
Ironically, Ching Hai supporter and Ching Hai internet marketer Will Tuttle seems to make his living speaking at Unity Churches [
willtuttle.com] Well guess what? And Will Tuttle knows this of course. Unity Churches are New Thought, and they believe Mind is Supreme, so they don't believe in Veganism or Organic this or that. To the New Thought Unity believers, that is all bullshit, as all that counts is Mind. They believe you can eat anything.
As well, the Unity New Thoughters would be 100% opposed to Ching Hai's constant nonsense about 2012, the end of the world, as by thinking it, you are creating it.
So its just a big conflicting, confusing bunch of nonsense. And Will Tuttle doesn't care, as long as he seems to get his voluntary donations and gifts when speaking at Unity. (that is how they pay people there, giving money and buying your stuff).
So its all professional level mind-screwing.
Some extreme sects these days are taking it as far as the Breatharians, which is taking cultic Food Control to the extreme. This is where people will engage in LETHAL NON-EATING for days and weeks at a time. They will damage their internal organs, and either start eating or end up in the hospital, or end up dead.
In the case of the Desteni sect, the vulgar leader of that sect likes eating meat, so he promotes meat eating.

"everyone will eat more meat". He states that vegetarianism is all about "making yourself better than others so that you can fuckin' judge them".
