I have posted many articles now showcasing the desperation of the West in general, Capitalists in particular.
From ,
Indian Beauty pegeant contests
slumdog millionaire,
Gay lesbian concepts,
swine flu hype
and now
the news about Diabetes explosion news.
I dont buy this story. Even if its true, thats fine. There is no need to panic.
These are my reasons:
Firstly, International Community cannot understand Indian food habits, Indian spices, Indian Sweets and Indian Tropical climate - which has provided a very diverse genomic and environmental diversity for Indians. So, their analysis will be biased on calories calculated based on Pizza or Burger or some minimum ingredient oriented, less palatable, ultra simple food of the rest of the world.
So, who is this International Society to decide what is diabetic or what is NOT for Indians. One key doesnt fit all locks - right ?
- Even if we are diabetic, we have many many tricks and cures in our own medical fields, so we really need not buy diabetes diagnostic kits on a daily basis - which is the business the guys are looking by giving out this Media News on such a large scale.
- As mentioned, its a major push to exploit the concentrated population of India, rather than a real problem.
- As said, its again a scarecraft implementation as a trick of marketing their respective products...all due to frustration.
- On a different note: I doubt 90% will not understand the following sentence. If you do, you got my message straight:
Who are we to suppress, enslave and control the interests/passion of our taste buds (the cells) and tongue??? As much you strive for freedom and fight for it, try to give the same freedom to every cell of your body. They are NOT your slaves. The 9 Billion cells have come together to give YOU a path to YOUR OBJECTIVE - of course you forgot that long back though. Give them their freedom. Dont be a control freak / capitalist / immatured.
So dont fall prey for these type of marketing gimmicks. Keep cool and try to move towards natural treatments like eating more fruits like "jamoon"/ " karela" - these should fix the problem in a more efficient way than the Symptomatic, often illusive Western/Allopathic medicines - simply dont believe that treatment.
