Maggi! The name doesn’t need any introduction to any
generation. Since more than three decades, Maggi is ruling our hearts and
kitchen. It’s now every generation’s favorite food. Even in mountain areas where
there cooking cannot be done; trekkers eat magi to feed themselves. So, now
when we all know that it’s almost impossible to eradicate Maggi from our lives,
do you think what I am thinking?
Yes! I am thinking what you don’t want to think? Mothers are
feeding their babies as Maggi lunch, Maggi dinner, Maggi in breakfast, without
even thinking twice about how safe it is to eat Maggi as the main course meal? Even small children of two and three years
age, who should be fed a diet rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals are being served Maggi in main course
meals. Why? Today’s mothers don’t understand
the seriousness of this issue?
These children are then fed large vitamin and mineral supplements
by their parents for proper growth. They get weakened eyes and pale skin at a
very tender age. But, still our young mothers are not ready to understand the
depth of this issue. Have you ever thought why only Maggi? Why our kids want
Maggi and no other noodles? Is it addiction?
The
Solution
The solution was sorted by our government few years back.
Maggi was banned in India. This was heartily welcomed by majority of doctors
and pediatrics, the only reason being that the children will learn to eat
vegetables and cereals in lunch and dinner instead of Maggi.
But, just after a few months, the ban was removed and markets
were re-flooded with Maggi products. If our government would have stretched this
ban for a year or more than we all would have noticed the change in food habits
of our children.
The Bottom
Line
I hope all young mothers reading this article to encourage
healthy food habits in their children to save them from several diseases. Maggi
will never increase their immunity or rather it will reduce their immunity to fight
diseases.
