#hungrymastodon — Public Fediverse posts

India ranks 102nd out of 117 countries on the #GlobalHungerIndex

only 10% of infants between 6–23 months are adequately fed.

animal sourced foods are an indispensable part of maintaining health & obtaining #foodSecurity — particularly for women, children & 800 million poor that subsist on starchy foods.

But sadly even #eggs in school meals have become politicised
calls to consume less animal products are part of a deeply vexed political context.

“I lie about being #vegan because people want more of my vegan-centric content on Instagram, Facebook & YouTube

Nobody can tell I am NOT actually vegan”
~Bhawan, a self-described “vegan traveller”

What was once an illicit obligation is now no longer a constraint for several pseudo-vegans, who believe that though their upbringing dictated a controlled diet, as an adult, they are free to experiment & adopt a way of life that is not an imposition

Started the day with 2 scrambled #eggs (garnished with fried coriander/cilantro) today. It feels like a night & day difference.

Now the constant hunger & urge to snack in the night is gone

Nguyễn Qúy Đức street (in An Phú ward, Ho Chi Minh City’s District 2) is a pleasant place for breakfast/lunch, particularly for foreign diners who want to get to know #VietnameseCuisine , but don’t feel comfortable eating in street food environment.

I asked a Sikh man why he had come there (from Jalandhar)

& he said ‘mitti da karz utaran aaste’ — *to discharge the debt of my soil*.

Budget on a lighter note:

Masala Dosa dwn from Rs 50 to Rs 40 !!!!
But now, no chutney. Those who want chutney can buy for Rs 15
It simplifies the process and provides flexibility. Earlier, all who ate only dosa without chutney paid Rs 50, but now they can eat only dosa for 40

Finally, Tendulkar sir breaks his silence in a coded manner,
says that he likes his Vada Pav (India) with red chutney (Hindus), little green chutney (Muslims) & some imli chutney (Sikhs & others) to make the combination (secularism) better.

When my friend insisted on onion raitha, the guy who served us, prepared on his own with onion meant for something else ..
When we ordered the next Briyani, he said no

India's daily demand for onions is 50,000 MT.
Only 20,000 MT is available, huge gap in supply.

a potentially new deadly allergic reaction has developed as a result

manufacturers still dont need to flag pea as a potential allergen making the hazard well & truly hidden

Also it is possible to cook every Indian dish except biryani without onions, which is why I hate veg-biryani

Supriya Sule said “I am not happy eating Egyptian onions”.

The Egyptians valued their onion. Used them for mummification ....

That is exactly why we use onions to cook Indian food. Helps to resist the spoiling of the food & preserves it for a longer time

Why are onions being sold at Rs. 160 per kilo in Mumbai?

The tomatoes that residents buy for Rs. 40 per kilo are sold by farmers in Nasik at Rs. 4 per kilo. What happens in between?
