The effects of unhygienic food are both short- and long-term. Food items prepared in unclean kitchen can lead to different diseases, including but not limited to food poisoning and ulcer. People should be careful while eating out.
Just about anything and everything that is served at roadside stalls, and even smaller restaurants which do not have clean settings, is harmful for health. The list of such food items is endless. These items are being prepared in the most unhygienic way. This is the cause of the spread of abdominal diseases among people, especially children. The concerned authorities are requested to look into this serious matter.
