In some of the poorest parts of the country, still if you get good delicious food to eat,
00:07
they will say it is very meatha.
00:09
Now it could be a salty dish, it could be a dish involving not even a grain of sugar.
00:14
Still to praise it, it would be said meatha.
00:17
You see the reason, there was no sugar.
00:19
Sugar was so scarce that sugar itself became the symbol of some kind of prosperity or abundance or goodness.
00:27
If something is good, then it is sugary.
00:31
So whatever is good is being carried down in culture as meatha, sugary.
00:35
Those situations no longer exist.
00:37
The situations of scarcity and yet we behave as if they do.
