A simple answer and yet an innovative one is the implementation of ecological methods to combat this growing problem. What is referred to by ecological methods?? Simply put, ecological methods are ways by which the existing ecosystem in a specific are can be put to the best use, to reduce food shortage and insecurity issues in that particular area. Thus, by fighting the problem at the micro level, the fight can be taken to the macro level. Therefore, by solving such food insecurities in miniscule areas that make up the whole, the entire infrastructure will be rehabilitated from this modern plague.

“What are the ecological methods?” would be the obvious question put forward. Citing an example to clarify all doubts, the people of Xai Xai, situated in Mozambique, in a time of acute shortage of food that occurred on a yearly basis for four to five months per year, implemented the EbA technology, or ecosystem based adaptation to reduce the crisis. This involved the substitution of farming and other activities and such other livelihoods for crab farming and investing in mangrove nurseries. This helped to save at least 500 households, who up till then had faced problems of food allocation. This method was this much successful as the area of Xai Xai was suitable to the farming of crabs. In addition to the crabs, mangrove planting helped to increase the breeding grounds of other sea creatures.

This is the whole of ecological adaptation in a nutshell. The initialisation of such steps in more areas all across the world will help to channelize the resources of that area in the most fruitful direction, thus collectively helping to solve the problem.

It is an age, where in spite of globalization, there is always a huge cloud of localization looming at the backdrop. It is for this precise reason that the fast food franchisee, McDonalds, has introduced different types of menus in different parts of the world in order to satisfy the altogether diverse demand patterns of different countries. This has inevitably led to the innovation and creation of more and more odd, if not grotesque food items.

One of the first and foremost that comes to our mind is something that is found in McDonalds Australia. In places virtually all over the world, people like to spread a something, a topping over their toast. Some like jelly, some jam, some peanut butter, others just plain and simple butter. However, Australians have got a little weird secret up their sleeves, something that makes their tongues waggle so much, it is featured on McDonalds’ menu. Introducing the Vegemite, a piece of toast spread over with the leftover yeast after the manufacture of beer. It’s recycling all the way, and with a price tag stamped on it.

Go to Japan, and you get to sink your teeth into an even stranger dish. We have all heard of cheese burger, chicken burger, even veg burger, but, wait for it, Shrimp Burger?? Whoever hears it goes like, “What the??” Nobody knows why even McDonalds got the idea in the first place to combine the diverse dualities of shrimp and burger in a singularity. However, it is done and is named EBI Filet-O in Japan. It is of course a way to bring the tastes of the Occident and the Orient together, but nevertheless, does sound odd.

However, the oddest of the odds is still to go. Take the next flight to Kuala Lumpur, go to a McDonalds there, and you can get to offer a something called, Chicken Singa Porridge. In what may be one of the weirdest combinations anywhere in the world, this is a bowl of porridge with bits of chicken, ginger, carrots and other veggies added to it.

McDonalds is doing a great job of satisfying the hungry bellies everywhere, at the same time redefining the limitations of cooking, but nevertheless, restraint, anyone??

In this increasingly junk food dependent society, due to multiple and miscellaneous reasons, it is of the utmost importance that we analyze our food habits and keep them in check as per necessary. One of the utmost needs is restraining from the consumption of junk food. Junk foods are of course, lip smacking and delicious at the same time. After a hard day at work, to sink in your teeth into dollops of cheese may be the very definition of heaven, but beware for Man got thrown out of Paradise. In this way, all that glitters may not be gold.

There are certain fundamental anomalies that are incorporated into the human brain since birth.  Thus, being a part of common sense, they are generally neglected. However, to err is human. What is the seemingly harmless act of eating two large meals and two small meals can actually affect our digestive system, for it has to function on a haphazard basis. The proper thing to do therefore is to take small meals at regular intervals, thus mitigating the collective pressure at one period of time and dissipating them among various time frames.

What may seem to be quite harmless liquids and utterly insignificant in consequence and after effects upon the body may not be so. Recent research conducted has propounded that the consumption of tea in excessive amounts may actually harm the bones of the human body, leading to ossification. Thus, what may be quite harmless is always not so.

A humongous mistake in the diet plans of an average human is the non-consumption of fruits and vegetables. Veggies still go in in some form or the other, but fruits that are an absolute necessity get quite unintelligibly left out of the equation.

Lastly, a balanced diet being a necessity was propounded and taught to us during our childhood days in schoolbooks. Today, standing on the verge of digestive disaster, do we get to understand the significance of those two words.

Food is the ultimate fuel of our bodies, whether we like it or not. The proper regulation of this is utterly necessary, that we may facilitate the permanence and longevity of our human machines.
