I recently found out that imported apples are waxed to look shiny and healthy. If you take a knife and lightly scrape the skin, you will actually get layers of wax.

I know, because I tried it. It was a shock.

I have switched to Manali apples that may not be shiny but are at least not waxed. Basic necessities like oil, milk (a police raid found synthetic mawa), vegetables (especially carrots) and honey have been found to be adulterated.

I fell ill last month because of an allergy to edible colours in the food I ate at a five-star hotel. I am a complete foodie and used to eat out regularly, but now, I am sticking to homemade dal chawal.
