What do you think about the street food videos being made of India?

There's a lot of "negative" street food videos -> Negative in the sense that Ytbers go to to stalls making food in bad, unhygienic conditions (like dipping hand in food, dirty bowls, dirty place, dirty water etc)
I've seen lot of dumb Indians target these type of videos saying they are doing it for views or for making fun of india etc. But just a few of us even think that we Indians should wake up and start looking at the cleanliness and hygiene point of view of the food business. Instead of blaming the govt, why don't we blame these food stall owners for making such dirty food and selling it? Why blame the messenger (the YT creators)?

What is your views on these type of videos? Hate them, like them? Don't see them? Ignore them? :D
 
This is a SAD reality in most parts of India. The person showing the mirror is the culprit. Really the govt should have some strict policy on the food vendors, since its related to health issue.

If people decide to stop eating from those vendors that don’t maintain good hygiene, it might push them to either improve their practices or even close down. A few unsanitary instances don’t tell the whole story. India is a big country, and when we focus on just a small number of negative examples, we are neglecting 99.9% of vendors who are committed to maintaining better hygiene standards.

As soon as the vendor touches the food with his bare hands, i cant watch it any further and immediately dislike the video....can't fathom the idea someone on streets selling food unhygienically touching it with bare hands....:yuck::yuck::sour::sour:

Blaming it on the YT creators is a shortcut, while escaping the question as to why these shops have so low hygiene standards, and why do even people eat there?
I think these shops still have customers because of the low selling prices and nothing else. I am unable to think as to why would anyone eat here if they have a cleaner shop to buy from.
Also, when we have close to 60% of the population benefiting from free ration scheme, it is pertinent to have these low cost but unhygienic shops to exist.
 
It's all a circle.

Firstly street vendors occupy literally the "footpath". We encourage them by purchasing from them despite knowing the food is not hygenic.
Yes, there is an agenda to portray Indians as 'dirty' but we don't help ourselves.

Only people who wear gloves and stuff are those vendors who are given space outside big/famous shops. But in majority of these places the pricing is higher so people prefer street vendors.
