How does modern food affect India?

Biggest impact of all is losing the independence to explore the variety in Indian food and taste that you can develop and in the process revere as something that is good for your constitution.

The traditional Indian cuisine from the Indian Kitchen had all the concepts of healthy diet embedded in its recipies. The vast variety of food grains used, the vegetables, the spices, the cuisine had everything there to balance a person. It had always taken care of the two elements of food intake: fulfilling the appetite and the hunger. The receipies had all sources from the Indian traditional medicine "Ayurved" Only the excess intake could cause health problems arising out of bad eating habits.

The modern food which is processed food typically, takes the indian away from their kitchen causing him to lose contact with all that is organic and natural and the dependency on the processed food will be hazardous to their overall health. They would get obese and then they would join fitness programmes and the vicious circle begins with more and more dependency on the processed foods to reduce the calories and some other processed food for fulfilling the hunger and appetite.
