Mum's repertoire for “feeding us continuously” has led to diet-induced obesity
2021
Abstract Frequent and excessive eating runs unnoticed in many families. Indian parents, especially mothers, have a philosophy that love and kindness can best be expressed by making their kids eat a lot, rather, overfeed them. This often leads to the inculcation of undesirable feeding habits in them as they grow up, which involves overeating junk food sometimes. Consequently, this plays a major role in causing diet-induced obesity that is already a declared endemic problem we all face in India. The author herein describes his matriarchal tradition of “familial gluttony” with the excessive ingestion of deep-fried food and sugar-laden stuff regularly. He pens down his experience in the configuration of a poem.
