@kreacher10 Very well put buddy but was it really worth the trouble? :thumbup (2):
That's what i thought and its not well put at all. Just look at the length he has gone to save face and in doing so has put himself even more in the ditch. It would be counter productive for me to reply to it, there are so many holes i could rip it into shreds.
A simple question was asked. no answers forthcoming as yet
🙂
PS: plz go and watch slum dog millionaire :rofl: even they knw whats happening in so called restaurants and
Hotels where the boy fills the water from tap and then seals of the bisleri bottel.
So if one place does it every other does so as well ? You don't think you're over generalising here.
A cousin of mine started ordering those big inverted bottles at home because his daughter got sick from drinking the water in their home, they used to boil it and all. Not good enough. He said all he had was trust that the vendor would not mess with it. Glad i don't live in such an area aquaguard has alwas worked fine for me.
Given the way media is nowadays, local media especially, any one that tries anything would be risking his
business. Now this is to do with bottling business. In a restaurant which buys products from some one else they will just point at the bottling people.
This is easier said than done. I believe the paani puri phenomenon is far bigger here in Mumbai than anywhere else in the country and we speak from our local context. You must realize that this is a totally unorganized sector with each individual operator working quite independently. I can't see them being able to police themselves.
Did you see that pic of them with headgear and gloves. How long has that been going on ?
Isn't this direct evidence of self-policing ?
Look, paani puri is an india wide phenomenon, the only difference is it tastes better in bombay or thats what i'm given to believe.
I think you need to work out the odds more carefully. With 1% operators peeing into their lotas a person who eats out a 100 times has a better than even chance of eating at one such operator. Certainly much much higher than one in a hundred as you have stated. Unless you meant the chances of actually catching one red handed.
Not redhanded, the odds of that are negligible. I mean you get a guy that pisses in his lota and serves you out of it.
Lets try it again
1000 wallahs, 1% does it so that means ten dodgy vendors.
Your chances are 1 in a hundred if you eat out just once.
If you eat out 100 times and assuming thats over a year your chances are once at a minimum.
That is if you eat at a different vendor each time.
Now you are prolly following a fixed route, if thats the case and you got the dodgy guy in your route then you're going to be getting it more than once. You could argue this is the most common case. To which i can say, you prolly have a preference for a guy or two. You will prefer to go to the same person. Now when you make that choice its going to be 1 out of a hundred. So sticking with one, two or a few guys might be safer than trying out too many others.
You're playing the odds here is what i'm trying to say
🙂
Secondly, even if he were the only guy doing it, there is no way I, as a consumer can know that. It certainly dissuades me from taking a chance with any operator.
Thats the power of fear, it makes you behave irrationally. It stops you from reasoning and makes it easy to manipulate you.
I will buy the makings and prepare it at home.
Nothing beats home made which is sad i think. There is something to be said about eating out and being waited on.
There are many outlets in this city that specialize in selling supposedly organically grown agricultural products. From what you are saying, it appears that this might just be hogwash for the supposed benefits this brings. Would be so kind as to post some credible information debunking the myth of the benefit of organically grown stuff?
OK, you are asking me to prove a negative. This is very difficult to do. Far easier is to show whether there are detrimental effects to plants as socrates mentioned.
About organic, the only thing that matters is taste. It tastes better, now to experience that the easiest way is in a juice. Its much more concentrated. You will not be able to tell the difference in taste in a dish. That to me negates the value of organic food as its much more expensive. Now the organic fans will come out with similar stuff to what socrates said, and i ask them to prove that.
They are the ones saying the normal stuff is bad. It is for them to show such rather than the other way around
