Dear Editor,
Be it our busy lifestyles or sheer laziness, we seem to be resorting to the easy way out by consuming ready-to-eat products despite being aware of hazardous preservatives used to store them for months together. Our obsession with instant foods has provided an opportunity for food manufacturers to cash in on our weakness. Ironically, some of these advertisements promoting these products claim to have been filmed in research labs where celebrities go out of their way to certify the purity of the ingredients. The least food regulatory authorities can do now is to enforce strict guidelines as far as all food products and their consumption are concerned.
