Indian-Origin Woman Slams Lack Of Veg Options At US Work Lunch In Viral Video: 'Walked Out...'
Last Updated: An Indian-origin woman in the US went viral for highlighting the lack of vegetarian options at work lunches. An Indian-origin woman in the US has gone viral for calling out the lack of vegetarian food options at a workplace lunch which she said reflects an indifference toward vegetarianism in the country. In the video, the woman explained that she was told not to bring her own lunch as food would be arranged for everyone. When she arrived at the event 'not a single vegetarian sandwich" was available among the dozens on offer, she said, adding, 'So many thoughtful options like kosher, halal, even gluten-free. I asked, 'Where are the vegetarian sandwiches?' And there was complete silence." She said that someone eventually suggested she 'make" a vegetarian sandwich by removing the meat, sharing, 'That doesn't make me want to eat a vegetarian sandwich. It makes me want to vomit." Calling it a recurring issue in the US, she said vegetarianism often doesn't even register as a dietary preference. She noted, 'Being a vegetarian is not even an afterthought, it's not even a thought", pointing to her experience at gas stations that stock no pre-made vegetarian options. Suggesting a solution, she said, 'How about everything is provided baseline vegetarian, and the meat can be an add-on on the side? Problem solved." While colleagues later offered to get her something to eat, she said it came an hour too late. 'I walked out so disappointed," she said. First Published: June 27, 2025, 18:44 IST

Bengaluru mom defends viral video of domestic worker's son eating on floor: ‘Doesn't need your pity'
A Bengaluru nutritionist's video sharing parenting tips went viral after it showed her domestic worker's child eating while sitting on the floor, drawing sharp criticism online. Nutritionist Sonakshi Sharma shared the video to highlight how baby-led weaning (BLW) is not a Western concept, but something Indian mothers have practised for generations. In the video, Sonakshi Sharma explains how baby-led weaning has been used by Indian mothers for generations.(Instagram/ 'Remember our moms being so busy with housework that they used to leave us with the food, and in that process we learnt to eat. BLW is just the same story wrapped in a seemingly exorbitant cover!,' Sharma says in the video. The clip shows her sitting on a sofa while her baby eats from a high chair. However, in the next shot, her domestic worker's three-year-old son is shown sitting on the floor, eating kheer and roti. Take a look at the video here: The contrast drew backlash from viewers who said it highlighted inequality, especially given the difference in how the two children were presented. Sharma defended her video, clarifying that the clips were filmed on different days and that the child simply preferred to sit on the floor. 'I don't practice idiotic things like untouchability in 2025 for god's sake! We just valued this child's preference, that's it. I understand that those showing concern are good people, but this child doesn't really need your pity for such a trivial thing,' she said. She also criticised the online response, claiming viewers were reading into it the wrong way. 'You're seeing a 'Househelp's child' sitting on the floor, while I'm seeing just a child who chose to sit on the floor—the same way my daughter would sometimes choose to do—the same floor where we regularly sit and eat,' she added. The video drew mixed reactions online. While some users supported Sharma's explanation, others felt the comparison was not needed. 'Whatever your justification is for why your help's three-year-old is sitting on the floor, it still does give out wrong message. This comparison reel was unnecessary in the first place,' one user wrote. Another countered, 'God! All the drama queens crying in the comments because kid is sitting on the floor. It's an Indian household, we all sit on the floor.'
