The founder and former CEO of Kernel urged his followers to embrace Indian food. However, his appeal is in stark contrast to what he believes and recommends. Pointing to the fact that Indian cuisine is often perceived as carb-heavy, many expressed their opinion online.
This surprising post left netizens in splits as he brought his own food on his six-day visit to India, adhering to a strict diet. Making the revelation about his diet on the recent India tour, he said,“A lot of people ask me what I do about food when I travel. The first rule is this: food is guilty until proven innocent. This is why I've brought with me to India every calorie I'll eat for six days.”

Reacting to this series of conflicting statements from the tech millionaire, a user stated,“Everything in India is diverse. When someone says Indian food, I ask, what Indian food? It's like me landing in London and saying that Croissant is an amazing European food.” Another user remarked,“Since when is naan bread healthy?”

It's not the healthiest of the bunch. Very protein deficient . Excessive carbs. Spices have been found to be adulterated with heavy metals. Lots of pseudoscience in the“alternative medicine” field.
