UP
government's Food and Drug department recently declared that Maggi
fast food is polluted by higher percentage of Lead. This discovery
created waves of shock all over the country and then in almost every
state we see a competition of declaring this Maggi most polluted fast
food! In Karnatak state began to destroy quantity of Maggi by burning
it down to ashes! That food which was staple food for many years all
over the country (this includes me) became poison over night! As this
happened, experts began to give their opinions. One expert suggested
that any pollutant in products of this type is not because of any
defect in the manufacturing process but it is primarily because the
raw material used already contains these pollutants. Wheat used to
produce Maggi is collected from Punjab, Haryana states. It is found
that soil of these states contains Lead in higher percentage. As a
result wheat produced in those farms naturally collects quantity of
Lead and then that goes further to eaters. If this argument is
correct then we should ban use of wheat from these states. That means
all farm produce from these states is naturally polluted and so we
should actually ban use of any farm product from these states! Just
imagine if we do it what will happen of our agriculture? I am not
expert in this field but whatever information I collected from
sources, I came to know that in Bengal state soil contains Arsenic a
poisonous element in considerable percentage and so farm produce of
that state particularly rice, vegetables and root food are polluted
by this element. That means farm produce of Bengal are as bad as
those from Punjab and Haryana states. On studying other soils of
states in our country I was shocked to find that every state has one
or more metal pollutants existing and that makes farm produce from
all these state not eatable! In states such as Gujarat and MP they
found Nickel. So now what to do? Should we stop agriculture and
should we not make our own food but import everything? This is
preposterous if I can say.
Maggi
and the producer of this famous fast food, Nestles are victims of
something they cannot help. Out of all the samples only 40 percentage
samples were found to be containing pollutant but then why all the
food was destroyed? In the country where people do not have enough
food, clean or polluted, we are destroying Maggi; how correct it is?
Maggi was the best food till yesterday and it becomes poison
overnight so much so that we cannot even look at it! What is going
on in this country? First they began with stopping beef and now
Maggi, which is not meat product but absolutely vegan. Experts in
this field are thinking of inspecting other products of similar type
such as Haldiram from Nagpur; and I will not be surprised if that is
also found to contain Lead, Arsenic, Nickel and many other pollutants
in them and so subsequently banned! While poor Indian are starving on
other side our government is destroying good food under false and
senseless objections.
About
lead poisoning medical history tells that Roman Empire was lost
because Roman soldiers had become weak due to high percentage of Lead
in their body. Their bones had become brittle and they had lost
stamina due to Lead.
One
suggestion to solve this problem is to remove all soil and replace it
by pure non-polluted soil from other country! Obviously, that is not
some thing we can do since all countries have soil that contains some
or the other pollutant metal or non metal. Finally, I ask these
experts if Maggi contains Lead more than (so called) acceptable
concentration why we do not have a single Lead poison case from any
eaters of this fast food in all these (30) years? One more question
comes up is that we consume wheat from Punjab and Haryana when we
prepare chapatis, rotis, bread and other wheat produces in our food
why that Lead has not poisoned anybody so far? We have been consuming
such wheat for more than two thousand year?
Next
excuse FD people offered to ban Maggi is excess of MSG. Actually MSG
is not a pollutant. In U.S a law case was filed on it some years back
and it was proved then that MSG is not a pollutant. MSG in right
proportion is working as a preservative also. As of being allergic
some tests were performed in U.S and it was proved that it was only
imagination of those people who claimed to be having allergy of MSG.
Two
groups of people who claimed that they had allergy due to eating MSG
were prepared and they were given to eat preparations made by using
MSG and other without MSG. One group was given food without MSG but
were told that it contains MSG and they began to show allergy
effects; this proved that allergy is only some imagination and there
is no sense in it. Other group was given food with MSG but they were
told that the food does not contain MSG and they did not show any
signs of allergy even after eating food made with MSG. Again proving
that allergy is some sort of imagination of these people. I some
times wonder why our (so called) experts are behaving like senseless
all the time.
