Love for our Guru, is love for his creation, therefore love for humanity and its true intentions when offering food. 

A general statement that requires some caveats, ref meat, egs etc

Need some advice please. I have seen here that Gursikhs expected to only eat food prepared by other Gursikhs and in the company of other Gursikhs. What if one's own family (parents, siblings, other relatives) are not Sikh at all and are atheist/agnostic- do you eat with them and the food prepared by them or not?

What about eating out whilst travelling?

Thanks.

how can you tell if someone is gursikh just by seeing if they are wearing bana?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by caveats?

Exceptions.

Like, "If you were 5 mins from death, and a small cube of sugar would save your life, would you accept it from someone who, in normal circumstances, you'd shun as unacceptable, or would you adhere to your principles and embrace death?"

Say Vaheguru before you hand me that!
