The purpose of the mid day Meal isn’t to respect dietary ideology but to reduce child malnutrition.
If multiple Indian states can successfully serve eggs then this is not logistical issue and telling poor children to eat eggs at home ignores why the scheme exists in the first place
@deepakshenoy Eggs are omitted because of ideological reasons and not for budget. In fact for the same nutrition goals, they are cheaper AND much easier to control for quality, cooking time, and adulteration.
Am sure you knew all that but just playing dumb to pander to even dumber mobs.
That is not “direct poison”. It’s the egg’s membrane. In fact, there are 2 membranes - one that is attached to the inside of the shell and one wrapped around the egg white. It offers additional protection against microbial attack in case there is a crack in the shell.
Fun fact: it’s not only edible, it’s made of collagen, and many collagen supplements are made from this membrane.
Even more fun fact: in very fresh eggs, the membrane sticks to the egg white and is harder to remove. As the egg gets older, the membrane is easier to remove from the boiled egg.
The egg is one of nature’s most accomplished works. A single, self-contained marvel, packed with every protein the body craves, brimming with vitamins and fats laid down to nourish new life. And yet, in the modern poultry farming context, IT IS PURELY VEGETARIAN because an unfertilised egg hosts no life, just the raw material to nourish it. Cracked into a hot pan, it firms into culinary gold. Whipped, it rises into airy clouds. Coddled, poached, folded into the silkiest of custards, or scrambled into bhurji, it bends endlessly to the cook’s will. Few things on this Earth give so generously, in so many guises. This, surely, is perfection in miniature. The greatest single ingredient in the kitchen.
"Govt is under no obligation to help you meet your (expensive) protein goals."
Yes it is under an obligation, the government is absolutely obligated to help the poor strata achieve its protein goals
Protein consumption is not a fad, it's a genuine need for a population which suffers from stunting and wasting
Even capitalist societies have understood this
Govt has no obligation to feed inexpensive protein rich food like eggs to kids in a country which suffers from severe malnutrition crisis.

हिंदुओं को गुरुद्वारा जाने की चुल्ल मची रहती है, इसलिए ये लोग मारते हैं। वीर पुरुष हैं, निहंग हैं, निहत्थों पर वीरता ऐसे ही निकलती है। मज़ार और गुरुद्वारा जाना ही क्यों है? तुम्हारे मंदिर कम हो गए हैं? वो नहीं मानते तुम्हें अपना, तुम क्यों चिपकना चाहते हो? उनका समाज भी कभी इस पर सामूहिक ��ूप से नहीं बोलता।
उनके लिए तुम बिहारी, भैये और कुत्ते-सूअर जैसे हो। नस्लभेद, घटिया जातिवाद और क्षेत्रवाद का भौंडा प्रदर्शन हो रहा है।
Feminists blaming everyone to parent to caste system to Ketan to family
But not blaming Siya goyal for her crime.
That's how they brainwashing every girl.
A state where barely 1.4% of people are vegetarian, the lowest in the country alongside Telangana, is going to have its school kitchens run by ISKCON, whose Akshaya Patra arm spent years fighting state governments in Karnataka, Rajasthan and Andhra over its refusal to put eggs, onion or garlic in children's meals because its parent body treats them as spiritually impure.
Bengali kids in government schools currently get fish or egg twice a week, which is often the only real animal protein the meal carries, and the plan is to swap that for a sattvik menu drawn from a Vaishnav dietary code that has never had any hold on how Bengalis actually eat, Hindu or Muslim alike. Special arrangements make sense for the small communities that want pure veg, but you do not fix nutrition for a fish-eating majority by handing their children's plates to people who consider an egg a problem.
notice how the word 'freedom' in the vocab of a feminist is always in context of either clothes or relationships. it's never about education or career or jobs or doing anything worthwhile. i wonder why ?
