DEFEAT COVID19 CHALLENGE- Episode V
"Time" is tough where people are finding it difficult to have two square meals to survive in the lockdown. Food is the most essential after air and water. Let's respect food which we consume, let's not WASTE even a single grain of food. We appreciate COVID warriors who have been struggling hard to provide food to people who inform that they need food. People are requested not to waste food as they might be thinking that they got the food free and they feel that they have every right to waste it. We in our country are self sufficient in food grain. Punjab is going to have 135 Lac ton Wheat coming this season. All FCI facilities are full and CM Punjab is requesting center government to lift the stock from godowns. If the godowns will not have space for new arrival then grain outside with or without cover will get spoiled. On one side food becoming costly and on other we are spoiling and wasting in our plates, during transportation, distribution, processing and serving. Every bit of crop, grain, veggies, fruits cost, but 30% approx good grain is wasted because of rodents, birds, weather, and improper storage. Approx 40% of fresh fruits and veggies are wasted. Economies struggle to keep peddling for providing two meals for survival. In this background let's all pledge to use food grains, veggies, fruits judiciously and preserve for better times to come. All modes of wastage of eatables should be stopped. More and more food grains will induce confidence to fight any Danger coming out of present scenario. Immunity improves by the food we consume. Therefore food which we are consuming leads to our strength, contribute to our will to fight the devil.
The type of Food which we consume as per epics and yog make our thought process leading to action. So food is precious and guiding source of success in life. Whatever food we consume should be with happy mood, with nutrients so that we always remain with energy to fight the adversities in life. If we are strong because of food which we consume - SATVIK, SHUDH, SIMPLE, then we overcome all dirty barriers of life which intend to harm us, dishonor humanity. Present scenario of COVID19 is questioning our food habits especially non veg which may go through stringent rules and laws by making it costly, but still we can be more strong with better immunity with vegetarian food. We request you to eat10 to 20% less food in this crisis so that we have enough food for all, in future with affordable price. Inflation in food price will be seen in post COVID period therefore FOOD SAVING is requested and recommended. Dhabas, Eating points, Chaupaty, khau Galies may be a thing of past as fear of dying will lead people to have food at home to remain healthy away from viruses, bacterias and other infectious diseases.
"Human energy is to food, therefore for better tomorrow have healthy food"
"Improve Eating Habits, Save World"
Aameen.....
