Selection of nutritious but low cost easily available food items for rural women and person who will be be able to break the social barrier?

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.
