Question

Food can maintain and save life. It can destroy life as well. Proper food serves as medicine,

improper food works as poison. A little care about the quality and quantity of food will keep us

healthy and happy. If we go about eating all sorts of things, we shall become sick.

We take pride in calling ourselves civilized. Being civilized means to know the difference between

good and bad, right and wrong. It will not do to become slaves to our tongue or taste. Even

cattle, birds and beasts eat only what is best for their body.

We mostly eat processed food and refined sugar. We pay heavily for junk food, for Chinese dishes

or deep fried snacks. As a result we catch diseases. We have drifted away from mother nature.

We laugh at the rules of hygiene, healthy diet and the advice of our elders. This has given rise to

diabetes.

We offer chocolates, cakes and ice creams too often to our children. We also attend parties or

dine out every day. This way we invite obesity and diabetes.
