Kalyan increases security due to civic orders shutting down meat shops on Independence Day. The move, implemented since 1988, stirs political debates.

Kalyan Heightens Security Amid Protests Over Meat Ban on Independence Day

Kalyan enforces security due to protests over civic directives halting meat sales on Independence Day. This long-held practice faces political challenges.

Kalyan Security Tightens Amidst Meat Ban Protests

Amidst various political responses, Kalyan strengthens security against protest threats due to a civic order halting meat sales on August 15, a move dating back to 1988.

&nbsp;
Thane, Aug 14 (PTI): Security has been ramped up in the Kalyan area following warnings from some political parties and butcher associations about protesting against the local civic body's directive to close meat shops and abattoirs on Independence Day, according to police reports on Thursday.
Various municipal corporations in Maharashtra, including Kalyan-Dombivli, Nagpur, Nashik, Malegaon, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, have ordered the shut down of slaughterhouses and meat shops on August 15. Similar closures have been ordered on other days concerning Hindu and Jain festivals.
The ruling BJP and NCP have expressed differing views on this issue, with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stating that the government does not intend to police people's dietary preferences.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone III, Kalyan, Atul Zende, noted that security has been beefed up in the Kalyan-Dombivli civic jurisdiction to prevent any disturbances.
Some political parties have threatened to agitate near the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) by setting up meat stalls, selling meat, and holding gatherings. Notices will be served to potential offenders.
The police are contemplating the issuance of prohibitory orders for maintaining law and order. Most proposed agitations were identified via social media. Only a few political entities approached for official permissions, Zende added.
The KDMC has mandated a 24-hour closure of all slaughterhouses and licensed butchers of goats, sheep, chickens, and large animals from midnight of August 14 to midnight of August 15.
The civic body warned of action as per the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act, 1949, if any animal is slaughtered or meat sold within this timeframe.
Despite criticism, KDMC Commissioner Abhinav Goel reiterated that the restriction on selling meat has been enforced yearly since 1988, not just for August 15 but also for Gandhi Jayanti, Mahavir Jayanti, Paryushan, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Sadhu Vaswani's birth anniversary. This policy stems from a report by the corporation's health officer.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), headed by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, challenged the closure, whereas its ally BJP upheld the measure, referencing a 1988 state government resolution empowering such restrictions.
Opposition parties have criticized this move as well. BJP noted the policy was introduced in 1988 during the tenure of NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar as chief minister, questioning if the opposition would address him regarding it.
Chief Minister Fadnavis labeled the controversy over abattoir closures on Independence Day as "unnecessary" while maintaining the state was uninterested in regulating food choices.
Deputy CM Ajit Pawar recently criticized the closure on August 15, addressing the imposition of such bans as inappropriate. Restrictions are usually based on religious sentiments on occasions like Ashadhi Ekadashi and Mahashivratri.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray called for the suspension of the Kalyan-Dombivli civic commissioner, arguing that dictating food choices goes beyond his authority.
The Congress accused the Mahayuti government of diverting attention from pressing issues by creating controversies over trivial matters like pigeon-feeding and Independence Day meat bans. State Congress chief Harshwardhan Sapkal alleged the BJP was fueling caste and communal tensions as a political strategy.
NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad planned a mutton party on August 15 to assert freedom over food preferences.
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi condemned the decision to shut down slaughterhouses and meat shops on August 15, deeming it "unconstitutional" and questioning its relevance to Independence Day celebrations.

Meat sale banned in Bengaluru owing to Ganesh Chaturthi

The sale and slaughter of meat has been prohibited in Bengaluru in view of Ganesh Chaturthi on Monday.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has banned the sale and slaughter of meat on September 18 on account of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The municipal body has issued the guidelines to all meat shop owners in this regard.&nbsp;
The civic body has also issued a list of rules for organisers of Ganesh pandals. More than 60 window clearance centres issued permits in Bengaluru to ease the process..
The BBMP has also imposed a strict ban on the sale and manufacture of Ganesh idols that are made with Plaster of Paris (POP). A hefty penalty will be imposed if the ban is violated.
Special arrangements have been made at lakes such as Sankey, Halasuru, Yediyur, Agara and Hebbal Lake for the immersion of idols.

Plant-based and lab-grown meat are two different things and it varies in taste too


Artificial meat approved for sale in US; know the difference between plant-based and lab-grown meat

Plant-based and lab-grown meat are two different things and it varies in taste too.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given approval to two companies to sell lab-grown meat. With this, the US has become the second country to allow lab-grown meat for sale.&nbsp;
USDA has given approval to Upside Foods and Good Meat. Uma Valeti, CEO and founder of Upside Foods in a statement said, "This approval will fundamentally change how meat makes it to our table."
Valeti further said, "It's a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future -- one that preserves choice and life."
It is worth taking a note that plant-based meat has also been witnessing a major surge in the market. So, let's understand the difference between plant-based and lab-grown meat.&nbsp;
<h3>What is the difference between lab-grown meat and plant-based meat?</h3>
Lab-grown meat is made by harvesting cells from an animal or a fertilized egg and then it is kept in deep freezer for decades. Later, they are cultivated in steel tanks where they are given nutrients that are similar to what animals would eat. &nbsp;Moreover, lab-grown meat provides humans with animal protein.&nbsp;
Whereas, plant-based meat is a replication of meat, and it tastes and feels like meat but does not provide animal protein.&nbsp;

Smoking, grilling, frying, barbequing and roasting meat at high temperature might make it unhealthy for our health. Know how.  

Love barbeques? Know if barbequed meat is healthy for you or not

Smoking, grilling, frying, barbequing and roasting meat at high temperature might make it unhealthy for our health. Know how.&nbsp;&nbsp;

We often plan barbeque at home or love going out for a bbq meal. But are you aware that barbequed meat is not as healthy as you think?
Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee recently took to Instagram to share why smoked meat is unhealthy and there have been several studies that link it to various kinds of cancer.&nbsp;
According to her Smoking, grilling, frying, barbequing and roasting meat at high temperature produces many heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that may damage heart health, genetic material and ageing process in your body. Also, consuming it over a period of time may increase risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.&nbsp;
She suggests having barbequed meat only occasionally and balance it with raw veggies and fruits. You can also squeeze some lemon and add raw onion and radish to counteract the damage.&nbsp;

Processed food: Study suggests processed meat may increase the risk of cancer

Study suggests processed meat may increase risk of cancer

A recent study states that processed meat contains nitrites which may increase the risk of cancer.&nbsp;

A recent study conducted by Queen's University Belfast found that processed meat contains nitrites, which may increase the risk of developing tumours. Nitrites are widely used in processed meat to extend their shelf-life.&nbsp;
For the analysis, researchers fed mice processed meat containing nitrites and the other group of mice were given meat without chemicals. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Published in the journal Nature, the findings stated that mice who ate nitrite-packed food developed a 75 per cent increase in tumour, while the other group showed no symptoms. &nbsp;
The team also concluded that consuming processed food even&nbsp;in smaller quantities can raise the risk of cancer.&nbsp;

Covid virus may survive for a month on frozen meat, says study 

Coronavirus may survive for 30 days on refrigerated, frozen meat and fish, the study says.

According to a recent study, the Covid-19 causing SARS-CoV-2 virus may survive on meat and fish products in the fridge or freezer for up to 30 days.&nbsp;
Published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, the research was conducted using chicken, beef, pork, salmon and surrogate viruses with spikes similar to those on SARS-CoV-2.&nbsp;
The team found that the Covid-19 virus can survive within various refrigerated or frozen meat products for a month. They also observed that the virus can replicate within the gut, as well as in the respiratory tract.
Continued efforts are needed to prevent contamination of food and food processing surfaces to prevent Covid-19 infection, researchers suggested.&nbsp;

Whether you choose to eat meat or not is a personal choice. However, if you are trying to go off of meat or at least cut back on your consumption. 

Going vegan or vegetarian? Don't make these common switchover mistakes

Whether you choose to eat meat or not is a personal choice. However, if you are trying to go off of meat or at least cut back on your consumption.&nbsp;There are&nbsp;some things you&nbsp;should keep in mind.&nbsp;&nbsp; People who are trying to reduce&nbsp;their&nbsp;meat intake or just increase the proportion of plant-based foods in their diet end&nbsp;up making some common mistakes. Know them to avoid them!&nbsp;&nbsp;
#1&nbsp;Forgetting about key&nbsp;micronutrients&nbsp;
Eliminating a major food group like meat means you are not to be consuming your main protein&nbsp;sources.&nbsp;But apart from protein, you also miss out&nbsp;on nutrients like iron, vitamin b12 and omega fatty acids which are most commonly found in meats. Make sure you eat replacement sources for these&nbsp;essential nutrients by adding nuts and seeds, beans and lentils, soy foods as well as whole grains to your diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
#2 Focussing only on processed faux meats&nbsp;&nbsp;
With plant-based meats becoming the latest food trend in the market, it is hard to not be lured by the allure of faux meats. But remember plant-based meats are often highly processed&nbsp;and contain ingredients that don&rsquo;t really do you any favours. We also don&rsquo;t yet know what they do to our body in the long term. If&nbsp;the goal is to eat more plant-based food then do it with fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts. After all, there&nbsp;are&nbsp;so many of them!&nbsp;&nbsp;
#3&nbsp;Using&nbsp;cheese as a catch-all replacement&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s an easy way to mirror the lost flavour, so people often resort to replacing meat with cheese in the same dishes. And while there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with a bit of cheese, too much of one thing is never a good thing. Instead, try to aim for variety in your meat substitution. You can go for tofu, tempeh, chickpea, beans, lentils or just veggies!&nbsp;
#4&nbsp;Assuming everything vegan is healthier&nbsp;
This one is an honest mistake as vegan or vegetarian food is often marketed as a healthy alternative. But this is not always the case. Just because something is labelled plant-based does not make it&nbsp;automatically healthier. You still need to read the rest of the label to figure out the amounts of other things like sugars, artificial&nbsp;additives&nbsp;and preservatives to make a decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ultimately, a well-balanced vegetarian or vegan diet&nbsp;can be very delicious. Just keep the basics of nutrition in mind to make smart eating choices.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Going vegan or vegetarian? Keep these common switchover mistakes in mind

Planning to cut back on meat? Keep these common mistakes in mind!
Eliminating meat can reduce your intake of many micronutrients
Consume replacement sources like nuts, seeds, lentils, beans &amp; soy foods

Choose fresh fruit, vegetables&nbsp;and nuts over faux&nbsp;meats
Cheese is an easy way to mimic&nbsp;the lost flavour of meat
Aim for variety with tofu, tempeh, chickpea, beans, lentils or veg
Not everything labelled vegan or veg&nbsp;is always healthier
Read the labels to check for excess sugars and&nbsp;artificial additives&nbsp;

Paleo Diet aims to include unprocessed animal and plant-based foods with enough physical activity for a healthier lifestyle.

Paleo Diet: All you need to know about this diet trend inspired by the stone-age

The basic rule of Paleo&nbsp;diet is - if the food is made in a factory, do not eat&nbsp;it! Unprocessed plant and animal based foods ought to be consumed, while preserved and artificial food must be avoided in the&nbsp;Paleo&nbsp;diet.

Paleo Diet: A new trend inspired by the stone-age

Paleo diet is an eating pattern that includes&nbsp;unprocessed animal and plant based foods and&nbsp;is inspired by the stone-age. It results in health benefits like low blood pressure and insulin sensitivity.

If the food is made in a factory and is full of preservatives, do not eat it! This is the basic principle of the paleo diet which is designed to resemble what humans must have eaten in the Paleolithic&nbsp;era or during the stone-age. Paleo diet aims to include unprocessed animal and plant-based foods along with propagating enough&nbsp;physical activity in order to lead a healthier life. According to a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, paleo diet reduces systolic blood pressure, lowers insulin sensitivity and improves cholesterol balance.
What to eat?
Modern-day food is heavily processed and modified using preservatives and other chemicals. In paleo diet, the essential premise is to eat simple, unprocessed and fresh food. All kinds of plant and animal based whole foods like meat, fish, eggs, nuts, fruits, healthy fats and oils can be consumed. While water should be the main source of hydration, beverages like black tea and coffee are not entirely prohibited. And for some cheat day indulgence, small amounts of red wine and dark chocolate are also allowed from time to time.
What to avoid?&nbsp;
All things processed or preserved must be avoided at all costs. Packaged food, soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, processed dairy products like cheese and butter, legumes and vegetable oils must also be avoided in the paleo diet.
While there is no specific way to follow the paleo diet, the main idea is to avoid processed foods and focus on healthy, whole foods to live a longer and fuller life. It is also advisable to consult a professional dietician&nbsp;before making any dietary changes.&nbsp;

A recent study found that consuming beef may lower the risk of depression. 

Vegetarians are more likely to be depressed than meat eaters: study

A non-veg dish a day might keep depression away, claims study 

A recent study found that consuming beef may lower the risk of depression.&nbsp;

Are you a meat lover? Turns out, it might be good for you!
A recent study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that consuming meat, particularly beef may lower the risk of depression.&nbsp;
Researchers observed the association between vegetarianism and depression among adults during the study. They examined the dietary patterns of 14,216 adults aged 35 to 74 along with other variables like smoking, alcohol consumption, levels of physical activity, body mass index and nutrition.&nbsp;
The team found that vegetarian or plant-based diets actually led to people experiencing depressive episodes twice as often as those who eat beef.
Nutrients found in meat including iron, vitamin B, zinc and protein help brain functions and may be valuable in preventing depressive episodes. However, further research is required to clarify the relationship.&nbsp;

Amid the ongoing Presidential election in France, the issue of meat consumed by Muslims and Jews has become a major issue.
Right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen's plan to regulate the slaughter of animals has alarmed the Muslim and Jewish communities. Le Pen says she will order the stunning of animals before slaughter to curb animal suffering.
Le Pen said, "I am not going to abolish halal and kosher butcher shops at all. As you know, a certain number of countries in Europe and elsewhere, the European Union, moreover, in a directive, calls for it as part of the consideration of animal welfare. And also, the consideration of health safety, since the veterinarians have had the opportunity to express themselves on slaughtering (animals) without stunning, calls for slaughter with prior stunning. Acceding to this request, which is a majority request from the French, that does not mean that it will be the disappearance of halal or kosher, since I would maybe authorise the import, of course, of these meats in France."
This has apparently threatened the practices of halal and kosher. Muslims and Jews have claimed that if animals are stunned first, then the slaughter is not considered religiously appropriate. Halal meat shops fear closure, while consumers say they will be forced to slaughter animals as per religious rules at home.
Incumbent President Emmanuel Macron has opposed Le Pen's promise, presenting a more tolerant vision of France if he wins. He said, "I want a France that resolutely fights against Islamist separatism, but which, through secularism, allows everyone to believe, or not to believe. To exercise their religion. And not a France that prevents Muslims or Jews from eating as prescribed by their religion, this is not us."

The Ghazipur slaughterhouse in east Delhi will be closed from April 8 to 10 coinciding with the last three days of Navratra festival, the area's mayor has said.
East Delhi Mayor Shyam Sunder Aggarwal on Tuesday had said that the three-day closure of the abattoir was an annual exercise and "not a new order".
He had also "appealed" to traders to keep meat shops closed during Navratra or at least on the last three days of the festival, even as the authorities said "no official order" had been issued in this connection.
Aggarwal had also claimed that during Navratra, "90 per cent of the people do not consume non-vegetarian food".
Aggarwal's comments had stoked a controversy and drew sharp reactions on social media.
The East Delhi mayor said every year on the last three of Navratra, the Ghazipur slaughterhouse is closed, and this year it will be closed from April 8-10.

On the eve of Navratri,&nbsp;meat shops remain shut in South Delhi. No official&nbsp;order was issued, owners fare action.

Meat shops in several markets in south Delhi, including at INA and at Jor Bagh, remained shut on Tuesday, a day after SDMC Mayor Mukesh Suryan said they will not be allowed to open during Navratri till April 11.
Though no official order has been issued on the matter yet, shopkeepers kept their establishment closed fearing action.
Moreover, Tuesday being an auspicious day for many in the Hindu community, majority of meat shops in the national capital anyways remain shut on this day of the week.
There are around 40 meat shops in the INA market, and some owners said that the decision to keep shops closed was taken after the SDMC mayor's remarks "The (meat) shops at the INA market are closed fearing action by authorities. Yesterday, the SDMC mayor announced in the media that strict action will be taken against those opening shops during Navratri. We have decided among ourselves to close our shops for today," Sanjay Kumar, manager at Bombay Fish Shop, said.
Meat shops remained closed through the day, he said.
Mayor Suryan said that as most people do not consume non-vegetarian food during Navratri, there is no need to open meat shops during this period.
"Owners decided to keep shops closed as the mayor has threatened serious actions against them," Kumar claimed, adding that they are yet to decide whether they will keep shops closed till Navratri ends.
Kamal, co-owner of Pigpo meat shop in Jor Bagh, said he had opened the shop in the morning but after learning about the mayor's statement, decided to close it.
"We opened the shop in the morning but have shut it after we got to know that shops in nearby markets are closed," Kamal said.
Meanwhile, Saleem, general secretary of the Ghazipur Murga Mandi, said that meat shops are closed today as per their usual schedule. The impact of the mayor&rsquo;s request will be clear by 9 am Wednesday.
This is the first time when the civic body has asked for the closure of meat shops under its jurisdiction during Navratri which is being observed from April 2-11.
Suryan said that an official order in connection with closure of meat shops will be issued soon even as he claimed that most of the meat shops in south Delhi remained shut on Tuesday.
He had on Monday written to Commissioner SDMC to ensure that meat shops are closed during the festival of Navratri till April 11.

Going meatless or limiting meat intake has a range of advantages linked to improved health and a reduced risk of certain diseases.

Health benefits of becoming vegetarian and giving up on meat

Cutting back on meat has been linked to improved health and a reduced risk of certain diseases as well.

Trying to go meatless? These benefits will surely encourage you!

Going meatless or limiting meat intake has a range of advantages, linked to improved health and a reduced risk of certain diseases.

If you are a hard-core non-vegetarian who believes vegetarianism to be an incomplete diet form, then here&rsquo;s something for you. Going meatless or limiting meat intake has a range of advantages linked to improved health and a reduced risk of certain diseases. So, let&rsquo;s dive into the sea of benefits that might encourage you to give up on all kinds of meat and choosing plant-based foods instead.
May reduce the risk of heart diseases
Research published in the National Library of Medicine of the USA has found associations between the intake of saturated fat, primarily found in meat and animal products, and an increased risk of heart disease. The research also mentions that replacing saturated with unsaturated fat reduces the risk of heart disease. A plant-based diet may help in making this transition from consuming saturated fat to absorbing unsaturated fats.

Could improve gut health
Polyphenols found in plant-based foods help maintain a healthy gut. This plays a vital role in preventing the growth of certain cancer cells, improving body composition, and protecting against type 2 diabetes, as mentioned by the National Institute of Health of USA.&nbsp;On the other hand, the institute also says the fats and proteins from animal sources may promote the growth of harmful bacteria that negatively influence metabolism.
May help the environment
In addition to health benefits, eating more plants and less meat may be good for the environment. Meat production typically requires more resources, leading to greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to deforestation and pollution. Choosing plant foods over some meat products may have beneficial implications for the environment.

According to a study conducted by Helen Harwatt from the Harvard Law School, eating less meat may help combat climate change. In her report, she states that beef and pork contribute greatly to the rise in greenhouse gases. These must be replaced with food items after considering their land usage and emission targets. The study also shows that this shift may feed an additional 350 million people in the US alone. 

According to a study conducted by scientists from Harvard University, eating processed meat like bacon and sausages may increase the risk of breast cancer.  The study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, showcased that women who ate processed meat were at a 9% greater risk of breast cancer than others.
