Buckle up, foodies—celebrity chef Kunal Kapur just dropped a truth bomb on social media’s toxic food trends. ‘Koi bhi khana unhealthy nahi hota,’ or ‘No food is unhealthy,’ proclaimed the culinary star, igniting discussions across platforms.
Famed for spicing up MasterChef India and helming popular Delhi restaurants, Kapur tackled the hypocrisy of online gurus. Smoothies and salads reign supreme in reels, but what about mom’s rajma chawal? ‘Every cuisine offers balance if you don’t overdo it,’ he argued passionately.
Kapur unpacked the science: carbs fuel energy, fats aid absorption, proteins build muscle. Demonizing them ignores biology. He shared a personal story of a fan who gained weight chasing ‘detox teas’ instead of savoring balanced thalis.
Critiquing influencers without credentials, the chef called for authenticity. ‘Cook with love, eat with awareness—that’s the real trend,’ he advised. Kapur also promoted home cooking over hyped supplements, emphasizing seasonal, local ingredients.
This isn’t just chef talk; it’s a cultural shift. With India grappling with obesity and malnutrition paradoxes, Kapur’s holistic approach gains traction. Social media reactions pour in, from relieved moms to skeptical gym bros. As trends fade, his timeless wisdom endures: health blooms from variety, not vetoes.
