Paint it black



Click on the image to enlarge and read.

You have been saying a couple of things about this blog.
You say, this is too pessimistic.
You say, tell us the solutions.
You say a lot and don't do much.
Alright. Here's a deal. We are going to tell you what to do about the fact that the food you are eating is poisoned by genetically modified ingredients.
And we are going to tell you about what to do about the toxic paint you have been putting on your walls.
But first, you must know about these two things in detail.
Here's the first one. About food.
And then number two.

And now, what to do. Let's make this simple. You know the culprit brands. You are too lazy to write to the ministry. So here's what you can do in one easy step.
Boycott these products.
Surely, you don't want to bring home poison and feed it to yourself and your kids. Or, are you o.k doing it?

Now, don't start whining.

  1. I simply cannot believe how India hasn't banned lead in paint - diabolical behaviour on the part of the legislators.

  2. 'You say, this is too pessimistic. You say, give us the solutions.'

    This is like Bollywood claiming Satyajit Ray, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Mrinal Sen, etc. only show poverty and don't offer solutions.
    If solutions were actually offered, silver-bullet style, I'm pretty sure what the reaction would be: 'Wow, we must try this sometime, thanks man.'
