is the butternut squash cooked or uncooked? How should it be prepared?

Rosa says
Since when has honey been ital
Jennifer says
Hi Rosa! Great question. Honey is not an animal product but a plant product procesed by bees for their own use. Honey is just sugar therefore its considered natural thus many italist do use it. Most Rastafari I know eat honey and prefer to use honey in place of other sweeteners. Usually when I find somebody that doesn’t, they seem to have learned more of a North American philosophy of being Vegan, then the way of Rastafari people. Vegan and Rasta do have some differences. I hope this helps!
