Talk:Ital

Untitled
Tjjerde: I have added the requested references in many places in the article. I do not understand how this writing is in an "in-universe" style. My understanding of that term is that it refers to a writing about fiction from the perspective of the fictional characters without reference to the real world. I and others have written this page purely academically, with how Ital relates as a lifestyle in the real world, by real people. If you consider the Old Testament texts to be fiction, fine, but this article is not written from the perspective of Old Testament characters, but only references it because the followers of this lifestyle use this text as part of their belief system. However I am committed to improving the page in any way necessary, so if anyone has any suggestions, please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjjerde (talk • contribs) 18:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

"The primary goal of adhering to an Ital diet is to increase liveliness. Livity, or the life energy that Rastafari generally believe lives within all human beings, as conferred from the Almighty" - Does anyone find the phrasing 'as conferred by the almighty' ambiguous without context?

Could someone who knows please add pronounciation to this entry - is it ee-tal or eye-tal? 66.66.14.54 07:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

3-22-11: I have added this pronounciation.

It is pronounced "eye-tal"

I think this entry gives seriously short shrift to the requirement of vegetarianism/veganism. I've been to a number of ital restaurants in CA and NYC, run by proper old rastas, and I can assure you that not a one of them served meat (or fish or poultry). In fact, they would have considered the suggestion absurd. My belief is that, properly understood, eating ital requires being vegan or at least vegetarian. I know that not all rastas do that, but then not all rastas are really eating ital. Thanks.

Hello, I am the writer of this, having adapted it from a previous primative and overly simplistic form. I agree with you that vegetarianism is perhaps under emphasized in the article. My emphasis in the rewrite was in the individual meditative aspects of Rastafari, that there are no universal rules or dogma for Rastafari, and that each Rasta is to establish their own faith and practices based on their universal real-I-zations. I agree with you though, and will correct this.

honkey dory?
Is this a common term in Rastafarianism? I'm familiar with "hunkey dory" meaning OK, good, etc., but it is slang. If this has specific meaning in context I think it should be clarified - if not, than rewritten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.252.230.15 (talk) 19:05, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Livity
This mention linked in the article leads to one about an album. This passage appears to be the only non-musical reference to this concept; ought it be expanded? Mashford (talk) 04:03, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

image caption
I realise that the image caption is from the original upload on wiki commons but the use of the phrase "boiled food" makes no sense. If someone knows how it should read, please edit it here and/or at commons. Thanks.
