Eating less is good
Unequal distribution of wealth is not a new problem in Bangladesh. Some people eat more than required, while others can't get anything to eat at all. In Islam it is said that one should not take more food than is reserved for him. Some of us eat plenty of foods not thinking of the consequences. Gluttony gives birth to many problems. Too much consumption of food causes high blood pressure, diabetes and lots of other diseases. Over consumption of food leads to inadequate supply and thus the price hike. So, the Commerce Minister was right, though his solution to price hike sounded self defending and evasive. He should focus on finding an effective and immediate way out ofthis problem.
