India the seventh largest country in the world according to area but now first largest according to population. Not everyone in India gets food to eat , so nutritious is something very far away from the reach.
Barriers which come between nutritious food and impoverished community and leads to decreasing their access to nutritious food:
Poverty : Not everyone in India is that much rich that they can afford healthy and nutritious food for themselves and the family.
Lack of personal and public hygiene: People practising poor hygiene are also lowering the nutritional value of food.
Consequences of disturbing the mother Earth: Nowadays all this experiments , pollution and degradation going on mother Earth results in natural disasters which lowers the availability of food thus resulting in high prices of food which cannot be afford by everyone.
Discrimination against females: In many households especially in impoverished households in India it is considered that the man should eat more healthy food as he has to work much harder than a women resulting in low nutritious food available for women. As due to low family income nutritious food cannot be afford for everyone or whatever is available it is given away to man.
Ways that can help to overcome these barriers:
1.Education : Education is something that can help each and every community to understand the importance of eating nutritious food.
2.Addressing Poverty: Addressing poverty is very important to reduce the problem of lack of nutritious food as having a good financial balance can provide everyone the access to buy and eat nutritious and healthy food.
3.Population :The major problem, as facilities are inversely proportional to number of individuals. More the number of people in family less will be the access of each and every family member to nutritious diet.
In conclusion we can say that poverty and population are the major issues that need to be discuss if we really want a healthy and disease free country.
