In what is being seen as a brazen move to create a country of vegetarians, the Union Ministry of Health on Sunday, April 22 put out an innocuous-looking tweet, with an image suggesting to citizens of the country what to eat in order to be thin or fat.

The picture on the left showed a plus-sized woman who ate meat, eggs, sausages, doughnuts, fries and drank cola, while the image on the right showed a thin woman who ate only fruits and vegetables. In India, statistics show that almost 80% of the country are meat eaters. Did the ministry mean that almost 80% of the country is fat and only women get plump after eating meat and not men? Were they trying to shame all the meat-eaters in the country?

The Union Ministry of Health had even introduced egg in the Mid-day meal scheme, but in this picture, egg is shown as a fattening substance. The ministry deleted the tweet on Monday afternoon. A screenshot of the tweet can be seen below:
