Funeral prayers of five siblings who died due to alleged
food poisoning in
Karachiwas held on Saturday.According to details, the prayers were ...
Have no words to express my grief .
Now Once again the question is ....How safe it is to eat the Non Home cooked food ?
The E media will have a field day for days maybe weeks ...as they are already campaigning about the health risks and the extremely bad quality of health and hygiene of the Dine in and take away food prepared and sold country wide in most roadside stalls as well as the reputed restaurants and franchise .
Both Local and Provincial Food authorities and govt officials and inspectors have already been under fire for not doing there jobs properly or taking hefty bribes to look the other way .
So what now ?
Will this incident change any thing ...anything new ... or will be forgotten and the things will keep going on the way they are .
Honestly , the way the Anti Encroachment drive went lately countrywide and especially in the Saddar area of Karachi , the most dangerous city in the world . Nobody may be very hopeful about anything or change for the better .
In a country where the unemployment and poverty is already very high and the people cannot afford expensive food . It will be very difficult for Both the private sector and the govt to run , operate and regulate Good clean food outlets making and selling good clean and hygienic food on a very regular basis .
Ever since my child i have been a great fan of the take away food from the popular and famous food outlets and restaurants here in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world . But recently , i have myself increased the ratio of home cooked food in my daily meals . And go past the food streets or completely avoid them because of the health and hygiene issues of the places as well as the people who run and operate such places and restaurants .
Some of the processed ingredients of the food that have been discovered by the media and so unbelievable that most of the time i could not even watch it on the television . Like the Oil made of the Animal waste , and red brick used to prepare the red chill pepper . or the detergents being used in the sweet meat . the poisonous chemicals or the process used to ripen the raw fruits and vegetables and the non halal meat of haram animals being openly used in preparation of food and meals .
And this is not just about the bad or corrupt people and mal practices ...in the food industry . Sometimes , it is very difficult to maintain the quality of the ingredients due to lack of cold storage facility and electric power load shedding . When there is a power shut down for hours or more ...sometimes days . the frozen food melts down and then when the power returns it again freezes and most of the time nobody checks it or cares . This just not only happens in the commerical kitchens ...of the restaurants and food outlets , This happens in the normal home kitchens as well . No wonder some very cautious food eaters and health and hygiene freaks are also seen suffering from food related diseases and illness most of the time and especially during the seasons .
The Very Interesting fact that i observe every year during the winter wedding season here in Karachi the most dangerous city in the world is that most perfectly looking , talking and walking elders ...suddenly fall ill after eating the wedding parties food and die in a hospital ....
thi kuch khata kisi ki ye nasib ye likha tha
kate umar hotelo me mare haspatal aakar
kafan me ye mohabbat ke pujari dekhte jao
jamane ne jo ki halat hamari dekhte jao
kafan me ye mohabbat ke pujari dekhte jao
jamane ne jo ki halat hamari dekhte jao
kafan me sone wale ne pucha
jindagi kya hai na marte to bata dete jaha ko
aashiki kya hai mujhe chahat ne mara hai
ise kismat ne mara hai
magar kisi apne bhai ko buri
niyat ne mara hai lute hai kis tarah dil ke vyapari
dekhte jao jamane ne jo ki halat hamari dekhte jao
jo ladte the jaha me banke hindu sikh isai
wo is manjil par aakar ban gaye
apas me hai bhai bhai bata de koi har surat kafan me
kyu lapeti hai ye jiwan hai ye pinto hai
ye banta singh sethi hai
bade hai chain se kya kya khiladi
dekhte jao jamane ne jo ki halat hamari dekhte jao
No I am not at all trying to down play the sad and tragic incident of the death of Six innocent people by food poisoning this week here in karachi the most dangerous city in the world . I am only trying to work out a plan in my mind as to how i can help improve the very bad situation of Food related deaths and illness as well as the permanent damage the grave negligence in preparing of food and eating causes to a human body ...our body !
Most prudent people of our society , Over achievers and loving parents are often seen lecturing the young about the benefits of eating healthy hygienic food and then are forced to order take away or bring themselves . Ironic isn't it ?
GAS .... yes just like the power load sheddings in our country ...the gas need to cook most of our daily food at home is sometimes out just at the meal time . Now tell me what can a House wife , a Home maker and especially a Mother do ...But to order or buy the take away the food or part of the meal from the nearest and cheapest affordable quickly as possible .
And then there is a silent majority ...that is always on the go ...some within the town , city or country wide . Going to the office , or shopping or at work all day even during the night ...mostly forced to eat outside the home or are living and working far away from the home or does not have a home . People travelling to far off remote areas or trading with the large city like Karachi the most dangerous city in the world . People Come here not to die ...Some are already dying or come with a Patient to the Big City Hospitals because there are no hospitals in there local areas . Ironic again there is no Big Government Hospital in the entire Jamshed Town , My Home town . And Never will be ...at least not during my life time because ...its the greatest Money making Business here .
