people in starvation because they are in below income and no
income peoples and very poor peoples. In some parts of the
country people are in starvation but in other countries most of the
people wasting food in cases at home functions, marriages and
some money minded people is not at all caring for food wasting.
OBESITY:
In olden days that is at 19th century people suffers from

diseases is very less, but now in this century lot of diseases and
heart attacks and other main concern is obesity. Obesity is the
root cause for all the diseases we are facing. Reason behind this is
because of our life style, In todays world we are running for
earning money , no concern about health, we are not having time
to sit and relax and to have a healthy food to eat. In shift basis we
are working due to this we are not having proper healthy food to
eat because we are not having enough time to prepare healthy
food, we are not eating food on time , mostly we are eating at
untime , due to this results in obesity, heart attack, diabetes and
lot of health issues we are facing.
In those days farmers had a good and healthy life style, our
elders grandfathers and grandmothers lead a healthy life style ,
that is waking up in the morning at 4 am, going for farming and
hardworking, so their digestion is good , they will eat on time,
work hard and sleep on time, so they are free from diseases and
happy also, but now we are facing totally different life style and its
our responsibility to tell our children’s to have a healthy food and
follow our elders life style, we must not only eat rice, we must
follow olden days grains to eat like maize, jowar, horse tail rice like
this we have to change our eating habits, so with these our life
style and our children’s life style changes.
Then we have to introduce new subjects in schools if possible

about the health and eating habits in which our elders followed
like what rice they eat, then their timing habits they follow, so it is
our duty to follow this first and then we can take this to our
coming future kids and children’s. We must take actions that there
must be no starvation for food for the poor and who is there in
need have to feed food for them fully for their stomach and we
must take proper actions that is our government should take
proper actions against whom who are wasting food.
