        People like to eat a variety of food. Not just lentils and squash all the time. Maybe you’re fine with a boring palate. Most people like more than two or three flavors, some of them even sweet.

        But I guess poor people don’t deserve that. Lentils for them every meal.

          This assumes a number of things. One, that my one example is something that people should be eating all the time. Two that the ingredients i listed can only be prepared in a boring way. I’m sorry you lack the imagination or even an Indian cookbook.
