R’ Yehonason Eibeschutz zt”l (Tiferes Yehonason) would say: “'לא תאכלנו למען ייטב לך ולבניך אחריך' - How do children benefit when their parents avoid eating blood? The character of a person is affected by his diet. Eating spicy foods makes one excitable and temperamental while bland foods are calming and relaxing. Eating blood makes a person insensitive, even cruel. Children inherit character traits of their parents, so avoiding certain foods not only benefits the parents, but also prevents the children from inheriting undesirable character traits.”
A Wise Man would say:
“Sometimes when you lose your way, you find YOURSELF.”
