As the world is becoming one small village because of globalization there is no aspect of our lives that has not been affected by the cultural mingling. Our kitchens are flourishing with food from all over the world whether it is Continental, Chinese, Thai or Italian. There are many fast food outlets that are popping up, things are available on digital platform and foods can be ordered with just one phone call. With increased accessibility and purchasing power consumption of fried foods, fast foods and meat products have drastically increased (Damodaran K., 2018). Eating out has increased immensely and families are purchasing foods that were once cooked at home. An increasing number of young people have higher disposable incomes than their older counterparts and tendency to spend money rather than to save it. Ready to eat foods which includes frozen foods, packaged foods and quick fast food meals at quick se rvice restaurants have seen a huge growth in the recent times (Madhavapathy and Dasgupta., 2015). Exploring dietary patterns is a burgeoning field within nutritional science. In the expansive Indian Migration Study, researchers identified five principal di ets among a vast sample of adults across India, labeled as follows: Rice & low diversity, Rice & fruit, Wheat & pulses, Wheat, rice & oils, and Rice & meat (Shridhar et al., 2014). Despite the vast majority of India's food being produced domestically, thes e categorized food groups represent only a minimal portion of the diet. Amidst India's ongoing nutrition transition, a significant segment of the population adheres to the Rice & low diversity diet (Dipnail et al., 2016) 2016). Alarmingly, a considerable percentage of pregnant women ranging from fifty one percent to eighty three percent consume micronutrients like iron, vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin C, and folic acid at levels below half the recommended daily allowance. This issue of low micronutrient intake is notably less prevalent among adult men and women who are neither pregnant nor lactating (Shankar et al., 2017). Among pre school children, forty nine percent to sixty percent have adequate protein and calorie intake, a contrast to the sixty three percent of the adult men and seventy one percent of non pregnant/non lactating women meeting these nutritional needs. There is a huge difference between the dietary intake of urban residents and rural residents. Rural people con sume simple food that is rich in dietary fiber and low in saturated fat. Prevalence of non communicable diseases are increasing, large number of urban people are suffering from obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. This is attributed to the dieta ry shift associated with sedentary lifestyle (Shariful Islam et al., 2013). The rapid urbanization process has also led to a workforce transition from agriculture to the services sector, contributing to a decrease in the general physical activity levels am ong the population. In rural Bihar problem of under nutrition is prevalent. India is fighting with dual burden of malnutrition on one side people are suffering from obesity and on the other hand people are underweight. This is mainly due to lack of variety in the diet. Rural diet is mainly cereal based and confined to two meals a day. The consumption of essential food groups like milk and dairy products, pulses, green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, and fruits fell significantly short of adequate levels . Data from the NNMB rural surveys (2011 2012) indicated a 35% incidence of underweight (body mass index (BMI) Z scores below 2 SD) and a mere 2.2% occurrence of overweight and obesity among adolescents (Shankar et al. 2017) 2017). According to the NNMB rural s urvey report 2011 2012 chronic energy deficiency affected thirty five percent adults irrespective of gender. Recent data suggests increasing trends in abdominal obesity irrespective of gender (Shankar et al.
