@OfficialSMVDSB @OfficeOfLGJandK @manojsinha_ We visit Vaishno Devi to worship Goddess n I feel we arent giving them enough respect by demeaning their privacy n disrespecting them. I witnessed mothers feeding their small children sitting on pavement. Is this what they deserve.

Last week I was visited Vaishno Devi temple along wid my wife n daughters. Despite of the fact that Shri Mata Viashmo Devi Shrine trust has done a wonderful job to take care of all the needs of piligrims. But needs of pregnant n lactating women has been neglected @OfficialSMVDSB

[Manish Kumar @epimanish]

There was a long que 4 registration of devotees at registration counter where one might have to wait few mins to few hours n then pregnant / lactating women have to wait in que widout any facility of feeding their child or space to rest. Everyone hav to be present 4 registration

In conversation with @Sonal_MK I talk about and respond to several questions that come from mothers.
Is formula milk actually safe for your newborn? And who benefits when breastfeeding “fails”?
What are bad marketing tactics
Is powder milk sterile?
What is informed consent
Why Cesarean section end with formula feeding?
What is prolatin and oxytocin?
How moms can use their power to decide about feeding their baby.
What the health system is doing?
What a mother can do to be successful?
and much more in this 90 minute talk including my life's story.
Governments have a lot to do, so is the health system to make women successful in breastfeeding.

@bickley200 @Moveribfan @MrutyunjayaNa19 @DrByomakesh @NAPiIndia @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA Very true whatever comes in packet is processed and is not good for health. Better to avoid such products

[Manish Kumar @epimanish]

Every consumer has right to know what is their in the packet which they are purchasing. Whether it's good for their health or not?? #FOPL #JagoGrahakJago #EatHealthy @MrutyunjayaNa19 @DrByomakesh @Moveribfan @NAPiIndia @fssaiindia @MoHFW_INDIA

@Moveribfan @SrBachchan @JagranNews Sad affair for most of our icons in India as this is not regulated under any act of #bharatiyanyayasanhita . We need strict laws and it's monitoring and implementation

[Manish Kumar @epimanish]

@SrBachchan this wasn't expected 4m u. Being a role model for many Indians u should either do some background study b4 doing advertisment of any product or better stop doing amy advertisment. Being at helm of your career where u hav achieved everything stop doing ads for peanuts

[Dr. Arun Gupta MD FIAP (Ped) @Moveribfan]

I am posing some questions.
@SrBachchan you have chosen to promote these Sabisco products claiming to serve "good health" Look at the advertisement full page in @JagranNews
We inserted Nut. content of 3 products we could find. These biscuits are HIG SUGAR per 100g as per @ICMRNIN Guidelines for Indians and @WHO guidance on the nutrient profile.
it is an Ultra-Processed Food product=Junk Food containing leavening agents, dough conditioner, emulsifiers, liquid glucose , artificial flavours, acidity regulators, invert syrup.
These biscuits cannot be considered healthy. Yet advertised as a ‘healthy’. It is misleading.
When you endorse it, makes people buy and consume. These are known to be addictive https://t.co/gMauunslSr in nature and people over-consume. Result is increasing obesity and diabetes. Hope you are aware of rising sharply ref to Eco Survey of India https://t.co/UgPY03ZsIj.
We urge you to withdraw. You can't be seen promoting unhealthy diets.
https://t.co/urG33B7BEC In 2022 ads of 'Milk Bikis' you featured were withdrawn because of same reasons. @ascionline @jagograhakjago
Now is the time to say NO to this ad also. Would you ?
Question to everyone: Shouldn’t Junk Food Ads Go Off Print & Air?
Question to Govt: Will you please take action and show that legal frameworks work?
Appreciate your response !!

@MrutyunjayaNa19 @SudhanshuSME @AnandPanjiyar

[Dr. Arun Gupta MD FIAP (Ped) @Moveribfan]

Look at the advertisement of Nutri Choice Biscuits: Junk Food Product
The Britannia Nutrichoice Digestive High Fibre Biscuit is High in added sugars(12.1g), total fats (20.8g) and sodium (362 mg )per 100g as per NIN Guidelines for Indians. As per NOVA classification it is Ultra-Processed Food product containing emulsifier, invert sugar syrup, raising agents, malt extract, artificial flavouring substances and dough conditioner.
These biscuits cannot be considered healthy.
Yet advertised as a ‘healthy’ and ‘good choice’ on World Health Day and endorsed by none other than Amir Khan.
Question : Shouldn’t Junk Food Ads Go Off Print & Air?
Appreciate your response !!

India is facing a rapid rise in obesity, diabetes and heart disease, driven by highly marketed packaged foods high in sugar, salt and fat.

SC Order 10-2-26

[Manish Kumar @epimanish]

Cannot understand why there is a delay when Honurable supreme Court ordered to go for warning labels.
#conflictofintrest #FOPL @MrutyunjayaNa19 @Moveribfan @iChiragPaswan @MoHFW_INDIA

[Dr. Arun Gupta MD FIAP (Ped) @Moveribfan]

@NAPiIndia writes to Chairperson FSSAI to raise its concerns about organising additional "stakeholder consultation" to discuss provisions of FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020, of which Front of Warning labels are a part of . Having a SC order to go for warning labels, we raise two important concerns.
1. Why another stakeholder consultation.
2. Conflicts of interest embedded in this.
In addition NAPi offers evidence and designs of warning labels.

Burning issue highlighted. We need to understand food labelling from perspective of a consumer which is paying and in return getting I'll health. #jagograhakjago @MrutyunjayaNa19 @DrByomakesh @JurnoSuchitra

[Dr. Arun Gupta MD FIAP (Ped) @Moveribfan]

Food labelling isn’t anti-industry — it’s pro-health.
My Column in @EconomicTimes today. The article argues that front-of-pack warning labels are not anti-industry but a consumer protection measure, enabling families to recognise foods high in sugar, salt and saturated fat.

India now has an opportunity to act as India's Supreme Court has directed the FSSAI to consider warning labels for prepackaged foods.@LiveLawIndia
