Partly Facetious : Food is very important medicine

"I am so very, very, very tired...."

"You and the rest of the world!"

"Indeed but that knowledge doesn't make me feel better. I feel imprisoned and...and...."

"OK tell me if the situation goes back to pre-Coronavirus times then what is the first thing you will do?"

"I would go to my favourtite chaat place and order a chaat...."

"The one which is not a permanent shop whose wares are not all that clean and need I say you know this."

"Chaat with a bit of road dust adds to the flavour I always say."

"Don't be facetious, health is wealth as the old saying goes and..."

"You know it's these decadent Western proverbs that we need to ignore. The Khan says kifalat programme, cash disbursements together with jobs for the daily wage earners (be they self employed or not) that require limited and not total lockdown is the key to dealing with the fallout of the virus so..."

"Hippocrates said that the wise man should consider health as the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine."

"Wow that Hippocrates was something else - The Khan and Murad Ali Shah rolled into one."

"I don't get it."

"Murad Ali Shah supports a lock down as a means to stop the spread of the virus while The Khan reckons food is very, very important medicine...."

"You are rambling."

"I reckon but my views are closest to Mark Twain who said the only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd rather not."

"Hey do what you can to protect you and your family and try not to take chances while accessing all available public and private avenues to feed your family."

"That is good advice."
