Eat less
Commerce minister gives solution to price hike of essentials
Amid rising prices of essentials and adulteration of food, Commerce Minister Faruk Khan has come up with a solution: "Eat less".
According to him, if people cut their food consumption, the prices will automatically decline.
"If we can tame our gluttony, traders will find no profit in this business. They will be bound to lower the prices," said the minister at a discussion on adulteration in foodstuff.
When people expect effective measures from the government to check price hike and adulteration, Faruk Khan told consumers, "You might get hurt. But as I personally practice, I would suggest you eat less. Everything will be all right."
Voluntary Consumers Training and Awareness Society, a non-profit organisation, arranged the event at Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
