Man's Alter Ego- An Animal

Maneka Gandhi

While the Zodiac divides us into animals depending on the month we are born in , the Chinese have divided the years into animals.  So each of us get the characteristics of the year and month we are born in. I am a Monkey/ virgin , my son is a monkey/fish, my husband was a dog/centaur.

What is processed meat?

Maneka Gandhi

Processed foods have been altered from their natural state for convenience. The methods used include canning, freezing, refrigeration, and dehydration. While frozen vegetables, fruit and their juice still preserve vitamins and minerals, most processed foods are made with trans fats, saturated fats, and large amounts of sodium and sugar. This includes all meat/fish based items like hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage, ham etc. Here is the 10001 reason not to eat processed meat: ammonia.

Observe Animals

Maneka Gandhi
Professor Anil K. Gupta of IIM, Ahmedabad is one of my heroes. Instead of just being a college teacher, twenty years ago he made his students into an NGO called Sristi to start looking into the practices of villagers with a special eye towards organic farming practices and animal medicine. He went on to patenting rural inventions and holding organic food festivals which lakhs of sellers and buyers attend.
