Wake up Call !!!

Guys!! First things first – thanks a lot for inviting me to post on this blog. Culinary Engineers – Who are we? Does this question arise in everyone’s mind? Not sure – but I do feel an introduction of us is a must. You guys might be one amongst us tomorrow and maybe you guys are one amongst us even today but maybe you have not realized. We are a set of friends/acquaintances/strangers with a common thought process. You can call us food freaks, gourmet, gourmand, foodie or anything you want. Culinary engineers are concerned about the environment, health and post data on good food and the advantages of good food. Sounds simple?

What the hell is wrong with the food I am eating right now; Oops – Apologies Mate, there is nothing wrong. Just that you might fall sick one fine day and the doctor might not be able to detect why you have been infected with such a fatal disease even if you don’t taste alcohol/tobacco/any drug for that matter. Yes, conventional food is not harmful to our systems but remember it neither harmless!!! The way these foods are grown, there is a flaw in that. Look at the farmer spraying the pesticides on the food!! Are these pesticides edible?? Can we eat them? Please read the label in each pesticide, it shows that we need to stay from that as it might be poisonous!!! Oops – Once more J. Why is our friend who is spraying pesticides on the food which we gonna eat having masks?? Why? Did any of us wonder why? At least I dint till sometime, researchers say that pesticides once dry might not be harmful! Listen to this; they say it might not be harmful. Stress the word there “MIGHT”. So, there is a possibility that it might get harmful. Yes! In some cases and it doesn’t take long for that some to become most!! Don’t u think I make sense? I feel insecticides and pesticides are certainly harmful!! Certainly! So, lets not mess with it! It is not harmful to you and me but it is harmful even to the animals, flowers, insects, in short all living beings!! How? Is this your question? You may think, how the food I eat gonna affect them? Yes! It would, I shall tell you how? Because of the environment hazards these crops might create. The world might get extinct, what is green house effect? Does this play a role in that? I guess, we need to wait till the next post to get these answers :).
