Health Concern and Criticism
Wai Wai is often criticised for the presence of Monosodium glutamate in it, although it is said to be present in less than 1%. A warning mentioned on the packet clearly forbids infants below 1 year age to eat Wai Wai (in extremely small print, behind the flap). Being very popular among kids in Nepal, its a major health concern. A case of bone malfunction of a 12 year old child due to heavy consumption of Wai Wai was once reported in the national channel, NTV, of Nepal.

Famous quotes containing the words health, concern and/or criticism:
“Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table. It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
