food in rgveda

==========================
मोघम् अन्नं विन्दते अप्रचेताः
 
सत्यं ब्रवीमि वध इत्स तस्य।
 
नार्यमणं पुष्यति नो सखायं
 
केवलाघो भवति केवलादी॥
 
ऋग्वेदं १०--११७--
 mogham anna
vindate apracetā
 satya
bravīmi vadha itsa tasya|
 nāryama
a puyati no sakhāya
 kevalāgho bhavati kevalādī||
 
gveda 10--117--6 
 
 
 Only the most unwise person will grow or obtain (and hoard)
 food-grains all for himself because it is not going to serve him any
 worthy purpose. This I say for sure. Such hoarding is the harbinger
 of death for him. By such action he will not share his food either
 with a friend or a comrade. And he who eats up everything all by
 himself is also committing sin all by himself.
 
 Please note.. sharing the resources with the comrade became the war-cry
 in the west with the advent of socialism and communism. But the first
 veda which set us our code of conduct declares unequivocally that the
 products from the earth are there for all to share. It has declared it
 as the greatest sin for one is not to share his food with his friends
 and comrades.
 The Indian of the yore was not capable of being selfish. Every
 prayer, every law, every advice recorded by him was for the benefit of
 all..
