Gastronomes Arise!!

Mankind is at war at over thousand or more places, for ten thousand or more reasons at any given time. And yet there is peace! There is peace in pieces of heaven, fondly known as chocolate. There is peace in finely spiced curry! There is peace in both the veg & non veg kingdoms. Infact as I sit & write my mom is seen yelling for what ever might be her concern, & yet I know that as soon as my dinner is ready, peace shall prevail.
I believe that all malice in this world is for lack of appreciation of food. And yet hunger is not only the only theory where people are in agreement, but also the theory which is most manipulated for justice. Anna Hazare and Irom Sharmila to name a few. And mind you this is not meant to be taken as name calling! Lets move on to some other names too.
In Hippo chips I believe.  Refer the video for details. In the marketing world they say 'sex sells'. Hence Katrina Kaif sporting a size zero and 'food fornicating' with mangoes in the Slice Aamsutra is just another selling tactic! (Link for the the Aamsutra Ad)
In this time & age of baked chips (owing to competition even Lays have come up with their baked variety link) staying in shape could be a real challenge. And yet Hippo confidently flaunts his/her(seriously is it a he or a she?) bulging bottom. But that can also be taken positively. I mean which other food band mascot encourages people to not have body image issues, Fido Dido or the Amul girl?!

Hence, I believe that singularly Gastronomics, & my fellow Gastronomes are going to be the vials of peace & love. So here, I summon not one, but all Gastronomes. Anyone who loves food, yet hates to be looked down upon for his/her voluminous palate of taste. Anyone who appreciates the beauty of food both before & while it reaches your tummy (we advocate not to think about it after it has reached your tummy). You weight watchers & taste losers (& all losers) are welcome. Come one, come all!
Ps. No Food Fornication allowed in here.
