All the vegetables and fruits produced in the country cannot be reached to the consumer in good condition. Hence, certain portion of the produce has to be processed and packaged to prevent it from going waste. however, the packaged foods must not have harmful ingredients and this has to be ensured by FASSAI like govt agencies. Such harmful foods must be banned and companies making such items should be penalised heavily. In order to get FDI in to the country, Governments in the past have turned a blind eye to such controls and have allowed MNCs to freely market products which are harmful for public health. Govt must impose higher taxes on colas to dissuade heavy consumption and celebrities who promote such products must be also held accountable not just by Govt but also by NGOs and other agencies.
