Waking up lazily today morning, I picked up the Times of India and the front page story was just the right medicine to get my weariness out. Here is the link to the online version.
Some of the lines are outrageously funny, none better than this. 'Colas with or without pesticides are harmful for health and should not be consumed. We want all forms of junk food like pizzas, chips, samosas and burgers banned from canteens'.
So what will the canteens sell? Oatmeals, anyone?
The health ministry is trying to keep up with the moral police. The article says that celebs should not endorse aerated drinks, but campaign against them.
Imagine Aamir Khan getting a phone call from the ministry with the official trying to educate him that no matter whether he personally verified that coke has a high standard of manufacturing, he needs to campaign against it because colas are inherently bad. And before hanging up, he would be said that a list of items that should not be endorsed by celebs is being prepared by the ministry and would be sent to them soon. And if Aamir khan dared to say 'F*** off', then he would get another call from the cultural ministry advising him on the appropriate etiquettes.
I am not a supporter of coke or junk food, but I would like to decide what I consume. What if someone tests the water being provided in the canteens and finds pesticides? Will the authorities ban water from being served?
