C) React Now:-Time is passing out
and Hunger burden and Malntritionincluding over nutritionis becoming an
epidemic in India too. Therefore, time has come when we should ask ourselves
that are we (the persons on which women, health and wellbeing have been mostly
bestowed) - the doctors doing justice to rural people? What about also duties
& commitments by NGO & Nutrition specialists of India in improving
notational standards women’ health and wellbeing??
D) What doctors will have to
convey?
Scientific
knowledge on low-cost but nutritious foods, balanced diet, rational cooking
methods, and appropriate storage of food items and above all relevance of safe
drinking water can however be impacted by medical personnel, NGOs or by media
people. We have to formulate diet chart for different group of people. The
have-nots should be made aware how to get adequate proteins from easily
available local and cheaper foods e.g. dals (pulses), snails and scrab.
A pint of milk is a “day dream” for them not to speak of fish or meat. But the main problem is whether
such message communicated by gynecologists or say NGOs will be effective
amongst illiterate poor villagers. Will such illiterate community accept such
changes in age-old food habits & old cooling habits?
E) Why Gynecologist
have to be involved in these socio-cultural aspects of Food selection, Food preservation
& cooking techniques? Because the doctors,
gynecologists in particular are more acceptable to the womenfolk and whatever
the such doctor will remark women will take it granted S APOLITICAL AND MORE SENSIBLE.
We have to understand that it is the
illiteracy & attitudinal
barriers which are preventing Indian rural persons to accept nutritious
foods which are locally available in improving nutritional foods. Such food
items are easily available at nearby in their courtyards / adjoining paddy / wheat
fields close to residence.
