Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated January 4, 1958: Food situation

The people of India should adjust their food habits in a way which would help to reduce the country’s present dependence on large imports of food grains as well as better their own health, said Mr. Nehru on January 2 in New Delhi. He added that he did not like the idea of importing large quantities of food grains from abroad. “A day will soon come when we have to stand on our own legs and stop food imports. We have, therefore, to produce more rice and more wheat. But what is more important is that we should change our food habits and take a balanced diet instead of consuming too much of rice only”, he declared.
