STOP GM Foods from entering our Kitchen - Actor Karthi

Danger to us by our food: Actor Karthi's new venture! So signature hunt to protect the welfare of the people !!Every day we read various news about the toxins in the food we eat. Actor Karthi has not stopped studying and is making various efforts to prevent it.Currently the Food Safety and Standards Authority is about to change the regulations on genetically modified and genetically engineered foods. The federal government has launched an online signature campaign.Karthi has also signed on to this signature movement. He also demanded the support of all.Karthi shared a message on this:

"The Food Safety and Standards Authority is about to change the regulation on genetically modified and genetically engineered foods, putting such foods at risk of entering our lives.Such genetically modified foods have been found to cause allergies, immune deficiencies, stunted growth, growth retardation, organ damage, reproductive disorders and cancer-related health problems.

Most countries around the world do not accept GM crops. Moreover, despite pressure from multinational corporations, such food crops are not yet allowed to be grown in India as they are not safe for the environment and health.Due to the strong evidence put forward by the public and scientists Bt brinjal, GM mustard etc are not yet allowed. But at present I do not understand why genetically modified foods are allowed into our country by easing the rules.
It has not been reported what kind of tests will be followed to determine if such foods are safe. There is no indication as to who and how will make the decision. So for the benefit of the people, for those who are not aware of this, we will unite. We will sign this petition. " said Karthi.Many people on the internet have been supporting and signing this share of Karthi. They continue to sign. You too can participate.

Chennai gets its first nutrition garden in city limit

 In collaboration with Rotary Club of Madras East, M S Swaminathan Foundation established nutrition garden behind Thiruvanmiyur railway station in Chennai city to demonstrate and improve nutrition literacy among urban people.  

J. Radhakrishnan, Principal Secretary, Department of Health and Family Welfare, Tamil Nadu, inaugurated ‘Nutri-rich Plants/Awareness Garden.’

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist, World Health Organization, Mr. Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Principal Secretary/ Commissioner Greater Chennai Corporation, and Rtn. M Nachiappan, Director–Environment Rotary Club of Madras East, was present on this occasion. 

In his inaugural address, J. Radhakrishnan urged people to help us maintain the garden and get benefits from it.

“We should upkeep such gardens as it is quite an innovative idea. It will help us achieve sustainable development goals, especially addressing hidden hunger,” he said.

 

The nutrition garden is a scientifically established intervention to categorize plants based on the nutritive properties, provide planting material to the community and build awareness on cultivation and consumption to address nutrition requirements. MSSRF has been promoting this idea in different parts of the country to counter hidden hunger and malnutrition.

Gagandeep Singh Bedi, Commissioner, Greater Chennai Corporation, also urged people to help the government maintain so that more such gardens would be opened in the city.

“I found the creation of a nutrition garden in the middle of the city area is innovative, so I gave immediate permission and allocated a piece of land for it,” he said. 

“If we get cooperation from people, we will create few more such spaces in other areas too,” he adds.

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist, World Health Organisation of United Nations, termed it an excellent initiative. 

“Excellent initiative to spread nutrition awareness among general public along with physical activity space for children and adults,” said Dr. Soumya Swaminathan in her address. 

She further said that non-communicable diseases need to be prevented with increased nutrition intake.

“It is clear that while we have progressed in many spheres, we are still backward when it comes to nutrition. If India is to be a superpower, we need good nutrition and development. We also need lifestyle changes to address hypertension and diabetes, which are very high in Tamil Nadu. Dietary diversity must be taught from childhood, and diets at home and school have to be nutritional and balanced,” She adds.
