The Eat Lancet Commission, driven by billionaires, has set out ‘scientific targets’ to ‘increase consumption of plant-based foods and substantially reduce consumption of ASF’ and lauds India for being a ‘good example to show the world’ about plant-based foods. (11)

If you go - one step before alt-foods - #EatRightIndia includes promotion of fortification. The mandatory rice fortification of #PDS rice by 2024 is controversial. There have been concerns of conflict of interest & poor research backing the decisions taken https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/experts-raise-concerns-over-mandatory-fortification-of-food-items/article35685066.ece

Who funded that @WorldBank assessment of #EatRightIndia? No marks for guessing, its @gatesfoundation

1. 'Healthy Food pyramid' from https://eatrightindia.gov.in/EatRightIndia/images/Collateral01.jpg
2. Same in #chennaifoodfestival
Pity they drew a 📐 instead of Pyramid. Eat Moderately in (1) becomes "Eggs, Fish contains less than 10% calorie" in (2) #EatRightIndia is #Vegetarianism push by BJP, but why is DMK giving in?

#EatRightIndia is an initiative of #FSSAI - a body that got created in UPA-1 with Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 - by @draramadoss - then @MoHFW_INDIA minister.

This in itself was an attack on federalism - but this was done to 'ease of doing' food business.

But what does #EatRightIndia do? Its umbrella mission for all things food, food industry, health, altering public consumption through behavioral change impacting consumers, food industry -> global food produce/trade.

Firstly lets understand - Singara #ChennaiFoodFestival 2022 - is part of #EatRightMela, a public awareness + food business development campaign by food safety and standards regulator - #FSSAI's #EatRightIndia initiative. 🔗 https://eatrightindia.gov.in/
