        "content": "<p>Thrifty ways in the crisis<\/p>\n<p>This is an additional thought to the letter printed in the<br>\nJuly 16 edition of The Jakarta Post by Ritu Sud, regarding<br>\nfasting and the example of the prime minister of India, Lal<br>\nBahadur Shastri. I agree with what Ritu Sud said.<\/p>\n<p>Lal Bahadur Shastri not only called upon Indians to fast once<br>\nweekly on every Monday, but also requested them to eat vegetables<br>\ninstead of rice or wheat. He asked them to grow vegetables in the<br>\nback or front of their houses, or wherever they had space. I<br>\ncontinue to do this to this day, growing vegetables like<br>\ntomatoes, green chilies, cucumber and Siam cucumber. These<br>\nvegetables are easy to grow in the yard. Also, one can raise<br>\nfruits like papayas and bananas; papaya grows very fast.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many ways of saving to be had from many different<br>\nactions. Cut down or stop smoking, and eat boiled foods instead<br>\nof fried. If 50 percent of your daily diet can be shifted to<br>\nboiled or steamed fare, you will save on half of your cooking oil<br>\nconsumption. It is only a matter of will to do so rather than<br>\njust sitting back and criticizing others.<\/p>\n<p>President B.J. Habibie has made us aware that each and every<br>\ncitizen can help the country by fasting. Helping the country<br>\nmeans helping ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>N.S.
