Main aur Meri Maggi



Maggi has been a childhood favourite and it remains so far and  I can't remember a time when I was too done with it .. You know.. Its Maggi how can you be done with it. Well I know of people who think the love for Maggi is overrated..but it does have its loyal fans (include me).
In the yesterday years .. When I was introduced to it.. It was an instant hit, lunch or dinner or breakfast or late night snack or studying companion or party food .. It has played a host all the time.. I have had friends who travel across the city and we always have our Maggi.. We all have some stories attached to it.. At that time we didnt know if it had msg or lead .. It was a joyous meal..
Then came a time when suddenly there was awareness about food and what you eat and does this instant noodle have MSG and all Maggi packets claimed to be MSG free.. And then the healthy versions aata noodles and oat noodles which have had more calories than the regular.. But we never cared..
Suddenly in this modern age in this year..claims of Maggi have high lead contents and its banned nation wide..and all the jazz around it...nestle struggling hard to win the battle..
My point of view : why now ? After all these years of consumption have you heard anyway die because of Maggi consumption.. Or any one getting a fatal illness because of Maggi ? People in the north of India would be eating Maggi everyday ? Has anyone suffered ??
To me all this feels unnecessary.. Maggi should continue to be available..and let our future generations enjoy it too..
Long live Maggi
