I think one of the biggest reasons for weight gain for youngsters today is the Swiggy, Zomato minimum order amount. To not waste Rs.49 every day, Indians are ordering way more junk than they need..

@skooookum So, the catch is, 9.6% is a combination of fixed and variable rate. The fixed rate has been 0% for many years now, and it is the variable (due to high inflation) at 9.6% that’s driving this up. The variable rate can change every 6 months and the party will be over
