Railways high on junk food, needs to move to healthier foods

Was served these attached food items in Vande Bharat train with the breakfast

Can you imagine a normal person consuming 72 grams of added sugar in breakfast?

This is more than double the limit an adult should consume in a day!

Can LC Manager escalate to Railways and get this corrected more

Pantry cars need modernizing approach right from design of coach. like we see in flights where no gas or electric stove used or cooking is done. MUST BE DESIGNED FOR facilities for STEAMED ITEMS AND USE OF MICROWAVE and hotplate can make big difference Storage, preparation , packing , and serving facilities can improve using permnent staff for catering. Food is not the right area for contracting in view of passengers health and hygiene. High revenue area if served quality food giving employment at all levels. Steamed sweet potatoes, corn, ground nuts, cut fruits, fruit fresh juice, steamed vegetables, bread and omelet, Hot milk, coconut water, buttermilk, with branded packaged food items can bring high revenue with good service to passengers. seasonal raw fruits also can be served. more

I am not sure the way new trains taking shape, food quality remains same,I never saw any suitable intake for diabetics including tea / coffee. more  
Why are you asking for government to take action?? Why not educate your, family, friends and children to stop buying those items. Once no sale they will have to choose that sells. This is how the free country works. Make India free again and take it away from socialist government control. more  
The all concessions to any class is to be removed. The Food should be served must be hygienic. at least serve basic home food dishes. The peoples who like to eat , will eat or let them take their own food from out side as per their choice. There is a lot of scope but the rly. official; + contractors Yuti is the main hurdle in implementation. If contractor is paying money to them he is going to serve sub standard food. more
