Our fast-paced lifestyles are destroying the worth of our traditional cuisine

Our fast-paced lifestyles are destroying the worth of our traditional cuisine

In our conscious mind, we can see how fast food has permeated Indian culture and changed how our future generation—our youth—eats. We have been experiencing the addictive qualities of fast food and similar cuisines. A population's eating habits changing so drastically is a blatant indication of a cultural loss that has resulted in the entire abandonment of culinary traditions.

Either you consume it or don't, fast food and its implications are a worldwide issue that cannot be ignored. They are unquestionably harming young customers' health.

 As a society, we are inundated with studies claiming that the fast food restaurants' tasty and quick meals are slowly killing us. More people die from poor diet than from any other risk factor in human history. Our health is already beginning to feel the effects of the shifting food patterns. There is an epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India. Children and young people are becoming ill with previously undiagnosed diseases.

Are you aware that eating fast food harms your mental and cognitive health? India still has a cultural preference for authentic food, which gives us an advantage. There are still millions of people who consume cheap yet wholesome home-cooked meals, proving that home cooking hasn't completely disappeared.

Remember when the senior residents of the home would work arduously to grind masalas and make pickles for the family to enjoy all year long? The era when food functioned as a fundamental source of nutrition, goodness, and flavour rather than just pleasant taste. Who still acts in that way? In our hurried lifestyles, we only care that food is delivered or served quickly (without knowing anything about how it was made). Traditional foods appear to be losing popularity in the process.

One wonders what exactly went wrong over the years when the elite of the culinary industry issues a warning to value traditional cuisines rather than blindly accept fusion and modern cooking techniques. One of the causes of the convergence of cultures and the subsequent loss of ancient customs can be attributed to globalisation, which is enabling trade and people to cross geographical boundaries.

Finding a balance between employment and healthy, home-cooked meals is difficult. What if these wholesome traditional meals arrive at your house while you focus on your job path and your children don't go without eating wholesome traditional meals at home? It is indeed feasible. The good news is that.
