There are varieties of prasādam. So whichever suits, you can take. Anything artificial is bad.

Yadubara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, in Los Angeles they are charging money for the prasādam, and we find that it's cheaper to buy our own prasādam and offer it ourself.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Yadubara: They are charging money in Los Angeles for the prasādam each meal, so we find it is cheaper to. . .
