Food Overall

 Innovation  in Food over the Past years You know how everyone's Parents, Grandparents and Great-grandparents used to eat pure or what they called 'Sattwik' food. It included only fertilizer-free, pesticide-free and pollution-free food. This is the reason why their lifetime was long and they remained healthy till their last time. The difference is that the purity of the food kept decreasing generation to generation. Our Great-grandparents ate the purest food in comparison to our Grandparents and Parents.

The patience, the wait gave them the fruit in the form of pure food.                           Nowadays, the food is full of every Impurity you know or could ever imagine.

They make it more presentable. Both taste wise and look wise. Some of the prime spices which are prevalently used in Indian Kitchens are: 1. Red Chilli Powder:

                               MY DAILY MEAL So basically I'm from Bihar. And like the other North-Indian people are fond of heavy meals, so are the people of Bihar. We have plate full of roti or rice, daal, vegetable curries, salad, raita, chutney, papad, fryums and many a times, different sweets. So these much varieties are there in a Bihari Thaali. But every person has an own appetite and I don't think that today's generation has the tendency to digest this much food.                                                        As I live in Bihar, there is a huge diversity in vegetables. So I get to have different vegetable curries daily. My day usually starts with a light breakfast. It includes chapati or parantha, gobhi, chana, matar, paneer or aloo-chole, aloo-parval, aloo-lauki. Aloo is normally common in our breakfast. My breakfast also includes stuffed Paranthas like my favourite Aloo parantha, gobhi parantha, or sattu parantha. Or else if my mom wants to make some diffe

And when it comes to Food, the advanced people think foremost of the Fast Food Chains. It has become a significant part of the American Diet as well as the whole world. Prominence  The number of fast food outlets are increasing at a fast pace. They also face a huge competition with the Supermarkets and other establishments offering fully or partially prepared meals.
