Rita Date has been writing about the perils of obesity in India for decades. Her book "What’s For Lunch?" emphasises the importance of home food, specifically the midday meal. This is the time when much of the population is not at home, and many resort to eating from restaurants or street stalls.
The book explores how India has become obese and how we can combat this issue by eating healthy food prepared at home. She visits six metros with the highest obesity rates —Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad —and suggests what to pack for lunch. She stresses the importance of cooking at home, hiring a cook if necessary, and offers tips on making cooking more regular and easier.
