Yesterday we invited our very own Dr aunty, Dr Hanifa, to talk to the children about food. She very nicely explained how we should eat a balanced diet consisting of carbs, fats, proteins and vitamins and minerals. Apart from this information, she gave valuable insights which were thought provoking for some shikshikas as well.
She told the children that while we are having food, we should be happy.. And grateful because we have food. So many don't have food to eat. Hence we should happily eat food and also make sure not to waste it. She also said that if we don't like a particular dish, we can tell our parents to give little of that when it is served the next time. But for this time, we should happily consume what is served to us.
After the talk, we also talked about expressing gratitude to the annadata by saying annadata sukhi bhav after each meal. If our annadata is sukhi, the quality of the food we get well also be good.. Isn't it? Point to ponder indeed.
