   Dr. Arvind Pratap, MBBS(Consultant: Health at JanMitra Nyas)   in    Public Dialogue on Children’s Nutritional rights and Package food Labelling  on 2 December,2021 at Diamond Hotel, #Varanasi Guests seated at the podium, my brothers and sisters from the villages, let me try to explain to you in very direct and precise terms what we are fighting for and why that battle is actually being fought. First of all, let me make it clear that we are not against packet foods. We are not against buying any other product; our aim is only that the products we use are good for our health. That is what I will attempt to explain to you, now that we know what is there in packaged food that is harmful to our health, when we examine it carefully, it lacks protein and fibre. While at the same time we find very high quantities of sugar, salt, fat, and calorie content that is harmful for our health, children don't know this since it is so readily available. See now ...

The points raised by Vandana ji and Doctor Sahab are entirely endorsed by me. In this regard, there are two or three things I would like to emphasize because this consultation was organized to enlist our support, and we are totally supportive of it. Food packaging should have warnings about salt, which written in large fonts such as cigarette packets. There is no difference between ...

  Kailashnath Sonkar, MLA, Ajagara, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party Thank you very much Dr Lenin ji , thank you for inviting me for today’s FOPL programme organised by PVCHR. Respected Rajesh Mishra ji , our former MP of Varanasi. Anil Yadav ji , Lalji Desai ji , Roshni ji , Vandana Shah ji and our party's spokesperson Shashi Pratap Singh ji . Today while telling about packaged food you told how the packaging needs to be done. The way warnings are given on cigarettes. Manoj Sonkar ji BJP’s member of SC / ST Commission is in midst of us. The people seated in the front row might not oppose packaged foods like this one organised here. The noodles are prepared using the food grains, even though I am not against packaged foods. Many of these products use the grains produced by the farmers to benefit the farmers. In another way, whatever tax is imposed on packaged foods, the nation gets more tax in GST, so the country also benefits from it. When it comes to malnutrition, then, when it ...

There is a phenomenon referred to as the ‘Triple Burden on Nutrition’ in the world as it is in Ind...

Speech of  AK SHARMA, Ex-IAS, MLC & VICE PRESIDENT, UP STATE #BJP in    Public Dialogue on Children’s Nutritional rights and Package food Labelling  on 2 December,2021 at Diamond Hotel, #Varanasi Malnutrition in the real sense they are not getting enough nutritional inputs, intakes and on the other because of faulty and misdirected habits, lack of awareness towards the packaging food qualities. On the other side this is making all kind of issues, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and issues connected to obesity. As I understand this is a very serious issue and public dialogue on such issue will definitely help people to understand as to what basically towards spreading public awareness on these issues is the key element of informing the attendees and the habits of the society. Because as you say as you have noted in your paper that these are issues of standardization and also issues of habits. In fact, what is happening in the society on th...
