I came across this on Hindustan Times today's edition.

What do you think? Does not it show that greed or over-indulgence in anything is bad.

We live in a world that anything and everything is seen from a different perspective. With reference to the article, the government and cultivators are to be blamed for this shortage in the native land. Also how many people are ctually bothered about such stuff

What happens now a days is that some people start making a lot of money out of something, and then a rat race follows. Everyone jumps on to the bandwagon, and this is when things start going out of hand. People are unable to stop their greed, and a lot of people suffer just to satisfy the riches of others.

Hello sweety,
Quinoa is not something very well known here so I will not try it out either. Same with the Soya that they are producing now is quite awful.
It gives me the tummy ache and I am not the only one perhaps its not really good Soya and that could be the problem so I do not eat that either.
I did read about it and wondered what it could be all about ages ago so now I can see what is going on.

At times, messy handling of things in high demand cause such a situation. This is a economic as well as a social problem. I know governments at local level might impose some export restrictions on this grain, but then it might hurt local exporters. So, it is a tricky situation now.
