Sweet tooth
Published in The News on February 16, 2024
Even though diabetes is running rampant
throughout the country, many Pakistanis continue to consume sugar in obscene
amounts. Whenever you tell someone about something good that has happened to
you, they immediately demand ‘mithai’. Then there is this custom of giving
cakes to relatives and friends every now and then.
It’s mostly the rich and upper-middle class who do this, as the
poor cannot afford to buy cakes that often. This excessive consumption of sugar
by affluent Pakistanis is also responsible for the high prices of sugar and
should be stopped.
