Kangana Ranaut (actor-turned-politician) raised a critical question about nutrition in a recent video shared by the Ministry of Women and Child Development. She emphasized the need to consider whether our diets provide all essential nutrients. Reflecting on her upbringing in Himachal Pradesh, Ranaut recalled how her meals were rich in local ingredients like millets, rice, pulses, green vegetables, and dairy products, which she described as a balanced diet. She advocated for colorful plates, suggesting that a variety of foods leads to better nutrition, particularly for women and children. Highlighting the role of health in shaping family futures, Ranaut encouraged adopting local and seasonal foods, concluding with the phrase, “Sahi poshan, desh roshan,” which translates to “Proper nutrition, bright nation.” This message underscores the significance of local cuisines in achieving balanced and sustainable nutrition.
