Many spiritual aspirants who are practising yoga in India usually prepare their own food. The theory is that the magnetic influence of the person who prepares the food affects the latter, and the aspirant eating food permeated with bad magnetism suffers thereby.
The advanced yogis do not need to be too concerned about this, as they are more immune in some ways, although more sensitive in others. But where they have the choice they will be careful in this matter.
