Diet, Spices & Temperament

[Lon]

I have often thought that diet & spices have much to do with our temperament and personality. No offense intended here, but the general English diet seems to be void of much in the way of spices and seasonings other than salt and pepper and many (not all) English folk have personalities that reflect that (BLAND). My English sil whom I respect and admire is a good example. His basic demeanor is BLAND.
Italians. Spanish, Greeks & French have temperaments and personalities that seem to reflect their diets which are more seasoned with various herbs & spices. My own personality (intriguing), and temperament (effervescent)

certainly reflect my diet spiced with a wide variety of spices. Garlic, ginger, paprika, saffron, basil, thyme bay, chili powder, rosemary, oregano, cumin, clove and of course the combined mixture of some of the foregoing (CURRIES).

I hear you Lon. I think you must be talking about the Aruvedic Diet, which is about eating based on body type and temperament. I don't know much about it, it seems complicated, but here's a site with more info.

No, I wasn't thinking about any particular diet, just an observation that many people's personality and temperment seem to reflect their diet & the spices they consume.
