Lead By Maggi!


Lead was discovered by Humankind ages ago. But Indians discovered it only today in Maggi Noodles or what! Wow! If only the regulators woke up early and the consumers stand up, all the current and undiscovered elements of the periodical table may actually be found in abundance in food served outside home - restaurants, food courts, malls and marriage pandals. India is a foodie paradise, so as long as the GDP from food stuffs is high, all these clarion-calls and "march-against-Monsanto-and-Nestle" kind-of-movements that we saw today will remain a recurrent theme of the flash-in-the-pan kind. Raat Gayi to Baat Gayi! Until another discovery! Meanwhile, back to Bollywood stars endorsing toxins morphed as tasty foods. The only way to stop this menace of hazardous materials in food stuffs is to suspend eating of all processed foods and stick to food cooked at home. Or, incentivise Food Inspectors the way Excise and Customs Officers are - raid and raid till the rogues get straightened. And regulate the Food License Raj - from packaged water, paan, ghee and packaged milk to foods packed to kill. Sadly, there is no immediate solution in India for this phenomenon. We have to live with this because too much is at stake for the government that is more valuable than human lives.
