According to the report, the food ministry is drafting a questionnaire for hotels and restaurants asking what portion sizes should they serve to customers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his latest Mann Ki Baat, expressed concerns over the culture of massive food wastage in the country. Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ram Vilas Paswan was quoted as saying.
However, in reference with PM’s remark, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, Ram Vilas Paswan was quoted saying that;
“If a person can eat only two prawns, why should he or she be served six? If a person eats two idlis, why serve four! It’s wastage of food and also money people pay for something that they don’t eat,”
Repeating PM Modi’s concerns, Paswan said that the ministry will soon issue instructions to hotels about the quantity of food to be served.
The rule is said to be imposed over standard hotels and Dhabas will be exempted from the rule as they serve a Thalis.
