We all have heard the saying, ‘You are what you eat’. So we are what we eat, how we think and how we live, literally. If you take a closer look at our food and lifestyle choices you will see how it has a direct bearing on the quality of our health and our future. Why our food choices are fear driven? We choose to eat or not eat based on the stories that we have heard from food and health industry.
Why have we outsourced the making of our food to corporations who are adding chemicals and altering the genes of what we eat? They have now intercepted the purest transaction that we have with life and nature itself, for more profits. Food today has bar codes and shelf life. I don’t remember my mum or my grand mum picking up food which was made in a ‘plant’ and not from a plant or using ingredients that no sane person would keep it in their pantry. They bought food, which was local, seasonal and regional, which was fresh, which would get spoilt if it were left outside for long. Food that is hyper-processed, chemically induced to preserve, ready to eat out of packet or over-sanitized is not food. If you were to have your own vegetable garden, you wouldn’t go out and spray poison on it… yet somehow it becomes okay when we buy from super markets knowing it has all kind of toxins??? A simple thought of where our food comes from and trusting our inner radar is a good start. We become more closely connected to everything. Rang Dé - Sundar aur saaf khana will not only feature minimally processed wholesome, mostly plant based recipes but also to invite people, to provide them a space for dialogue.
