Many
of us, while buying processed food items, often bothered to have a look in nutrition
facts, ingredients labeled over packing. Reason may be that mostly citizen of
every state has a blind confidence and trust with state health departments that
they would protect them from unhealthy and unhygienic food products and will
not allow any product to be in market, which could be injurious towards health
of citizens. Unfortunately, most of the people are living in such blind trust
and facing results in shape of bad health and severe diseases.
World
Health Organization (WHO) published its report in June 2016 with a dreadful
fact that worldwide obesity is more than doubled since 1980, which is,
obviously, one of the reasons of serious diseases e.g. Diabetes, Hypertension,
Osteoarthritis and Heart Diseases; and said report exposed reasons of obesity
and overweight is result of increased intake of energy-dense foods (enriched
with fats), and further reason behind this is environmental changes alongwith
lack of supportive policies in different sectors including health, food
processing marketing and education.
A
layman can say that different products and companies are just selling food
items to generate filthy revenue without care or being thoughtful regarding
outcomes of processed food and drinks. Well the truth is NO, as they are
not only well aware about the outcome of processed food items they are selling,
but also knew how to keep them selling & most wanted item. For this
purpose, they are using substances which would be highly addictive
notwithstanding the results thereof, just like any other addictive drug i.e.
Opium etc., which may cause chemical irregularity in the brain. Exultantly brain will demand that very thing of which it is addictive. They are using
Electronic Media by advertising attractive ads to attract young generation for
processed food items with different slogans.
Dr.
Neal Barnard in his recently published book The Cheese Trap, described
how flouting a startling addiction will help you lose weight and named such
addiction as Dairy Crack. He said cheese is addictive because dairy proteins
can act as mild opiates. As a matter of fact, dairy items such as milk, butter
and yogurt could make you sleepy and one cannot drive or read something
consciously after having these items. Since last more than ten years, research
upon rats in different labs, shows that rats became addicted of cheesecake,
just like drug user.
Whenever
they were asked to talk about their processed food products and results thereof,
they will not only shift the reason towards your life style, different stuff of
daily use, daily work routine etc., but also provide you different solution and
free facilities to get rid of these effects. Just like a man who is selling
cancerous food and with revenue of that product opened a free hospital for
cancer patients. Unless getting awareness of devastating health effecting
results of smoking, television industry was fully sponsored to promote
different smoking brands and even USA Health Departments were specifically denying
health hazardous effects of smoking.
What
could be reason that this HYGIENE (so claimed) processed food is part of our
daily in-take and still everybody getting sick, weak and suffering from dangerous
diseases, which were far away when, at least, these so-called hygienic food
items were not in market?
Awareness
concerning dangerous effects of these processed foods and drinks rapidly
stretching all over the world nowadays; since 120 countries have banned all
kinds of soft drinks and processed juices nearby educational institute, and
after considering harmful and adverse effects upon children’s health, recently
Pakistan has made arrangements and Punjab Food Authority (PFA) banned the sale
of all types of soft drinks at educational institutions across Punjab from 14th
August, 2017.
This
is time to think about it, before it is too late. THINK BEFORE YOU EAT…
