A
man in the US recently won $7.4 million as damages from various
food companies after eating too much popcorn which resulted in him
suffering from a chronic lung condition. In India, most of us suffer
from various diseases after eating adulterated ghee, spices, milk, and
in-numerable other food items. If our courts here started awarding
compensation to each one of us, every Indian would become a
millionaire. When you fall sick, the first question your doctor asks you is, "Did you eat anything from outside?" It means eating out in India is always fraught with dangers. If it were abroad the hotel and restaurant association would sue the doctor if he ever asked such a thing. A lot of men all over the globe find their wives’ cooking dangerous. A man was all in bandages. His friend asked him what was the matter with him. He said, "it is all because of the food my wife served to me." The friend said, "If the food was bad you could have always refused." "That’s what I did," replied the injured fellow. Once, a wife who cooked atrocious food, asked her husband coyly, "If I dismiss the cook and make the food for you for a month, what will you pay me?"The husband replied, "I don’t need to pay you. You will get my entire life insurance amount!"
