Strong foods include plants, animals, and minerals that are ingested or applied externally to the human body to prevent and heal physical illnesses by adjusting the flow of vital energy and supplying better materials for regeneration of body cells or tissues.

 Taoist diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While there are many different historical and modern schools of Taoism, with different teachings on the subject, it is safe to say that many Taoists regard their diet as extremely important to their physical, mental and spiritual health in one way or another, especially where the amount of qi in the food is concerned.
Many believe that using different herbs in their food can help increase the positive energy in their bodies, and that by mixing two herbs with opposite effects they can decrease the positive energy and increase the negative energy (see Yin and Yang).
Since the Taoist diet typically involves reduced consumption of meat and dairy products, some critics have noted that adherents of the diet are at risk for deficiencies of vital nutrients, including iron (from red meat), calcium (from dairy), and vitamin B12.

Taoist physicians refer to this active living factor in foods as chee, and enzyme-chee constitutes by far the most vital element for health in food.
Traditional East Asian diets are rich in two types of enzyme-active foods: flesh raw foods such as fruits and vegetables and, in the case of Japan, raw fish; and foods prepared for consumption by treatment with aspergillus plant enzymes, which provide all the enzymes required for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Even certain dehydrated foods, such as prunes, raisins and dates, retain their vital enzymes in dormant state if they are sun-dried rather than sulphur-preserved, and these enzymes are activated by the warmth and moisture of the mouth and stomach.

In fact, any cognitive therapist or self-explored practitioner of meditation, whether Taoist or otherwise, can easily recognize the fallacies of "gross generalization" and "minimization" that he dualistically applies while erroneously committing science to the pejorative categories he falsely constructs somewhere in his own fogged mirror.
