Today morning I was having the leftover food from last night’s take home dinner. It was typical Indian Aloo Paratha (Boiled Potatoes mixed Wheat Chapati) and Palak Paneer (Spinach with Indian Cheese). It doesn’t sound bad or processed right? But it was not homemade and hotel prepared. I was eating it recklessly, when I saw that post.
Now, I live in India, we got freedom just about 70 years ago. We are still in the clutches of racism, casteism, crony capitalism and what not. Even small businesses are so much money oriented and so offer, bad unhealthy, cheap products. Well, that’s all part of development.
But, the real problem arises from these when they affect the vulnerable population like children, disabled.
There’s very high correlation between ultra processed, cheap food and cancer. They’re happening with even the children. Anything like this happens with the children at an alarming scale, even the nature will intervene.
I lost one of my aunts to cancer, she was one of the sweetest teachers I knew. When I see it’s happening with children, I know that it’s to stop.
When I was eating, I saw the new of a BTS star donating to the Paediatrics Cancer Patients, I immediately stopped eating, I thought a second of wastage of food, but one time wasting, usage of antibiotics is better than lifelong wasting and usage of processed food.
