The Indian government is considering implementing health warnings on popular snacks like samosas and jalebis, similar to cigarette warnings, as the country grapples with rising obesity rates. This move comes as India faces a doubling of obesity levels in the last decade and holds the position of diabetes capital of the world. The health secretary’s order mentions that the obese population is expected to increase to 44.9 crores by 2045. The initiative aims to provide information on oil and sugar content in these foods, particularly in certain institutions like AIIMS. However, concerns are raised about the practicality of implementation and the lack of focus on ultra-processed foods.
