I have stopped eating outside since Corona.
Rightly said- the mindset of us consumers must change
Great content and excellent presentation, Saran. Wishing your channel even greater success and reach.
Thanks Ajay
Discovered your channel today. Great stuff man. Keep it up and hope your channel grows fast.
Appreciate the support Utkarsh :)
Yo where did you go
Thanks telling us this information
In my town in Doddaballapura there is a palav and puri guy whose kids are studying in USA and in childhood they went to ICSE prestige school. Still he sells puri at ₹20.
If he cleans and maintain every day his food will be costlier let's say ₹30. Then his unhygienic competitor who sells for ₹25 will gain all his visitors.
Exactly. People have to start prioritizing hygiene
true
Thank you for this , I'm messaging to youtubers to talk about this issues in india but no one have time to talk , its becoming a very big problem in india ,our health authorities are sleeping 😢
Hygiene and shoes are illegal in India, even in dangerous enviroments they never wear any shoes
Gloves do not help if you also wear the same gloves to handle cash, scratch your body, and take out trash.
How and from where you get the information and how do you script it?
Good one 👌
Too nice chennel
Thank you
If it sells why put effort :)
Typical Indian mentality
sad truth
The thing is the the person making the food.. i have seen videos of flies on the food and they even let it happen. They sell meat with flies all over it. And they make bread dough with flies on it before cooking. Some cook the dough with the flies still on it. And they seem to not mind rats and mice too.. rats and mice are not pest for them. They worship rodents in temples. They seem to leave pests rather than kill them. Maybe its because of their religion to not kill some animals because they worship them.
baking flies in the bread?? how can the government allow people to be so uneducated about hygiene??
But I seen some street food using there feet arm pits cleaning dishes in dirty water there is a difference ok that’s unacceptable
Brother, your content is crisp. I recommend bringing a change in your tone and make sounds a bit more dramatic. I understand your style is calmer but your content needs to reach more people. I guarantee your voice will reach more ears
Thanks a lot for the feedback Rohan. Will work on it
While hygiene is important for safe eating, there are several points I would like to make.
1. Even in Michelin stars as well as chefs in normal restaurants don't necessarily use gloves. You can see such examples easily on internet. So, gloves cannot be the only benchmark to define hygiene.
2. The usage of gloves and changing them. Who regulates how often they are replaced or whether or not they washed ? Also, even after wearing gloves, people touch food and non-food areas easily. Western bakeries/ cafes are live examples of it. How expensive the replacement of such gloves will be for low level vendors ?
3. All these negative comments which you mentioned are also the from the people who make only deregotary videos about India or comment on it. It's the fast food chains of those countries only that make nuggets and meat patties by grinding every single part of the chicken whether beak or feet. So, why do they feel only India is dirty or unhygienic ?
Although I do agree hygiene is an issue in general but rather than targeting low earning groups who have low-income customers in the videos gone viral, there should be stricter safety regulations for middle scale sellers as well as the restaurants which probably may be in even worse state than these videos. As for the lower income sellers, it is also the responsibility of the FSSAI either to ensure they follow hygiene rules or provide them with gloves in case they cannot and train them in the right ways to maintain hygiene.
They might not use gloves but they have sinks with running water to wash their hands. He either needed running water or gloves.
@@beckynorris4366 totally agreeing to this.
Me who doesn't eat that garbage
They share those videos of places with poor hygiene because they know people will react and interact more with negative content. Its not right because there are so many street vendors and family owned resturants they can show.
using ai for voice or using own voice?? and if ai then which ai
huh?
Okay, firstly, you said that gloves wouldn't matter much of anything to a street vendor.
Wrong, majority of the street vendors, probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
Secondly you say the defensive mindset needs to change, while you only show some handful of comments and street vendors, who have gone viral on the internet.
Thirdly, on the basis of articles, and 'news reports' by media, you're bringing into light the incomes of the popular street food vendors, which are probably higher than, an average middle class man. These articles are deliberately exaggerated, and such luxuries are enjoyed by some of these vendors yes, but most of them do not.
Some of the things you were right about, I'd agree, is that probably the vendors aren't even aware of the Schedule 4, and that the customers should be more aware of the hygeine issue. Especially when you talk about the people outside of India coming to eat the street food.
But it's really ironic when you say 'don't let such content mislead you', when you are making a whole video based on the impressions of the same content. Yes I get that hygeine here is not that great, but I don't seem to understand what you were trying to conclude, like complaining that the food is bad, and in the end enlightening us that most of these videos are misleading and our food is great, I don't see a strong conlusive point being made in the end.
And I'd suggest you to actually do some on ground research, because on one hand you're analysing the content you've been fed on the internet, and then you're making such a statement like don't let content mislead you, it's just really contrasting.
And yes most of the customers enjoying such type of food, don't care about hygiene, for two main reasons, they don't see the same in their own home, yes the majority of their customers are from the lower & lower middle class, they don't even know what hygiene is, and secondly, the thing that they are getting for that price is more valuable to them, putting on gloves, or keeping the place cleaner actually revokes their customers from coming on to their stalls, you can actually find an interview about the same.
The last thing what I'd say is, that keep yourself in the shoes of both the customer, and the seller, and not the ones that you see promptly on the internet but the real street vendors, that struggle for even a rupee, I hope you are blessed with a real vendors smile when you give them 20rs extra as a tip, and the joy on their face, or experience what it's like to be eating this everyday, not by choice, but they aren't privileged like we are, and that they have no other choice than this.
Akhir khna kya chahte ho... Hygiene must be maintained..
Hey Stavan...Appreciate the detailed feedback. Here are my thoughts:
1. My point is that videos on social media are a good indication that hygiene standards need to be improved, BUT that doesn’t mean all street food hygiene is bad. I had to specify this because people tend to nitpick when addressing a problem generally. For example, in my past videos, I said Indians aren’t blessed with good genetics, but there were hundreds of comments pointing out that certain communities in India have great genetics. I wanted to ensure the same misunderstanding doesn't happen with this video.
2. I did not base this video on just one or two videos or comments. I conducted thorough research on posts across Reddit, Quora, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. For the sake of this video, I only showed a few examples. So, I wasn’t basing this video on a handful of viral content.
3. Finally, I agree that we must put ourselves in the shoes of the seller, but again it comes down to generalizing. Some people are indeed struggling to make a rupee, but that’s not an excuse for everyone. If 4 out of 10 vendors are struggling, that doesn't mean the remaining 6 should get away with poor hygiene practices.
Overall, I understand where you’re coming from and really appreciate the detailed constructive criticism. I will work on these points, specifically the point about making a strong conclusion, as I continue to create future videos. I'm still in the learning phase, so I’m glad you brought this up :)
Bhai tere kehene ka mtlb hygiene hi naa kare?
It literally just cost 69 rupees to get a pack of 100 pair gloves 🤡
