It’s not just fuel costs…

Their food supplies are adulterated at “single ingredient” level.

Like, Chinese street food used to be infamous for being adulterated, and so is any “street food” to an extent.

But in Indian cities all the food is adulterated because all the food is adulterated before it comes to a major city.

It’s hard to find good sources about how bad it is, because Modi doesn’t want people talking about how bad one of his government agencies is.

But it’s not like they’re just fraudulently slapping an “organic” label where it shouldn’t be. It’s like a whole truck of grain comes in mixed with pebbles thru out. Or a milk truck that had a bunch of cheap detergent poured in to cover up how watered down it was already.

When there’s zero government regulation, it starts looking a lot like drug dealing where every product gets “cut” at every step of distribution.

But even if you buy it straight off the truck as soon as it pulls into a major city, someone’s already stepped on it.

I think those shady practices are responsible for a lot of the cancer rates currently hidden by India’s pollution.

Modi is eating like a king I guarantee it.
