Most states run by BJP deny Eggs,
an essential protein, to children in the Mid Day Meal (MDM) schemes. This goes
in sync with the vegetarian culture they are supposed to be promoting. The
latest ban of Eggs comes in Madhya Pradesh where 52 per cent children suffer
from malnutrition.
A recent survey reveals that
vegetarian people have more protein deficiency than non-veg eaters. Several
communities including tribals, dalits and others across the country have
non-vegetarian food habits. By denying Egg to children in MDMs therefore the
governments are denying both protein and right to live the way people want.
