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.

#Noodle dishes from northern, southern & central #Vietnam are represented within few steps of each other, making this good introduction to Vietnam’s spectrum of #NoodleSoup

⁦”If you’re not a fan of Biryani, worry not. Langar being run by Sikhs serves delicious aloo-poori.

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*.

Jai Hind”

Why do you need chutney for masala dosa

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.
Respect sir
