India’s plans to punish spitting in food spark controversy

This month, two states ruled by India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced plans to impose hefty fines and imprisonment for contaminating food with spit, urine and dirt.

The northern state of Uttarakhand will fine offenders up to 100,000 rupees ($1,190; £920), while neighbouring Uttar Pradesh is set to introduce stringent laws to address the issue.

The government directives followed the circulation of unverified videos on social media showing vendors spitting on food at local stalls and restaurants – and one video depicting a house-help mixing urine into food she was preparing.


This is why I do not trust any 3rd world staffed fast food joints, restaurants or delivery services in Canada any longer.

Trudeau and his corporate welfare pals like Tim Horton’s in their greed are unwittingly ruining the food services sector of the economy.
