Air India Pilots Write Heartwarming Message To Food Pharmer
Food Pharmer is known for cautioning his viewers against misleading ads used by big brands to whitewash their products as healthy. As evidenced by the note he received from the pilots, his work has garnered a lot of attention.
This morning, he was travelling via Air India when he received a note from the pilots of his aircraft. He took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared the sweet note that he received. In the note, the two pilots, Chandni and Rinkesh, lauded the work that he had done.
They thanked him for his ‘label padho’ campaign that encourages his followers to read the labels on food packets to learn the reality of what they’re consuming. They said that he was nothing short of a revolution for the people of India.
The Airline Responds To The Influencer’s Post On Social Media
Many people took to the comments section to admire both the influencer as well as this heartwarming gesture by the pilots. The airline, too, responded to the post saying that they, too, were touched by the note.
Recently, Food Pharmer garnered significant attention when he pointed out that the food that IndiGo serves is very high in sodium. As a matter of fact, the sodium content in the upma served by this airline is higher than the sodium content in Maggi.
In the past, he has gone toe-to-toe with several big brands, including but not limited to Bournvita for their misleading advertising and unhealthy ingredients.
