While you and I continue to indulge in unhealthy treats, a 31-year-old Indian is on an unwavering journey to raise awareness about the havoc packaged foods and beverages are wrecking on public health. Very recently, Revant Himatsingka aka Food Pharmer chalked out a sugar board that brings to one’s notice the amount of sugar some of the most prominent beverage brands have. On his Instagram handle, which has a following of over one million, he is seen urging people to create a similar sugar board and paste it in either their office spaces or home. This is to ensure each of us is mindful while gulping down the sugary drinks and understand their health hazards.

To dig deep into his efforts, Mid-day Online conversed with this ‘social’ content creator who shared why he is on this journey.
