We are what we eat.
-
Not Synced
How many of us know,
what we are actually eating?
-
Not Synced
How many of us know,
-
Not Synced
what food does to environment
before it comes to our plate
-
Not Synced
How many of you know,
-
Not Synced
what food does to farmer,
who is producing that food?
-
Not Synced
Do you know? have you ever thought?
-
Not Synced
How many of you think
if you are eating food,
-
Not Synced
about the farmer who has produced it
or fate of the farmer who has produced?
-
Not Synced
You know, some of the questions
-
Not Synced
which grappled me when I was
studying my agriculture.
-
Not Synced
While doing my Ph. D. in agriculture
I had a choice,
-
Not Synced
Like every young boy in 90's
-
Not Synced
I was also crazy about
getting into Indian Civil Sercvice
-
Not Synced
Reading the Indian Economy
I really understood about Indian Economy
-
Not Synced
by reading for an exam.
-
Not Synced
Finally by time I got into services,
I was selected for Indian Revenue Service.
-
Not Synced
But, I also had a choice of joining as
Agricultural Research Scientist.
-
Not Synced
It was tough choice.
-
Not Synced
I made my choice as joined as
Agricultural Research Scientist.
-
Not Synced
I thought, "I should continue
working with farmers."
-
Not Synced
But, that didn't last long,
I'll come to that.
-
Not Synced
Before I come to that,
let's understand ,"What is our food?
-
Not Synced
What we are eating? How safe is our food?"
-
Not Synced
All of you saw this news, sometime back
-
Not Synced
Pesticides residues in soft drinks
and bottled water.
-
Not Synced
But, forgot the next day.
-
Not Synced
Have you ever thought,
-
Not Synced
How pesticides residues come into
this bottled water or soft drink?
-
Not Synced
If bottled water and soft drink had
pesticide residues,
-
Not Synced
The water you used to make tea or coffee
also must be having,
-
Not Synced
But we never worried about it.
-
Not Synced
The news is short the next day
we forget about it.
-
Not Synced
This must be a memory,
Noodles having heavy metals.
-
Not Synced
How many of you've thought,
-
Not Synced
how did this heavy metals reached
in the Noodles?
-
Not Synced
If lead has to added in Noodles,
-
Not Synced
Probably lead is more costly than Noodles.
-
Not Synced
Nobody will add it but it came.
-
Not Synced
If ingredients used to make Noodles
had the lead,
-
Not Synced
The "Aata" which you used to make
your "Chapati" also must be having.
-
Not Synced
Or the Samosa which you're eating
also must be having. Right?
-
Not Synced
But we don't connect the dots.
-
Not Synced
Same is the story when we hear about
pesticide residues in vegetables.
-
Not Synced
You all get horrified.
But, forget it in the evening.
