Influencer Revant Himatsingka, known as Food Pharmer, received a heartfelt message from the pilots of his Air India flight this morning. The note, signed by ‘Chandni and Rinkesh’, expressed gratitude to Himatsingka for promoting healthier eating habits among Indians.
With a substantial Instagram following of 2.6 million, Himatsingka uses his platform to expose deceptive marketing tactics used in pre-packaged foods. His advocacy encourages followers to opt for healthier alternatives over junk food, a message that has resonated widely.
Himatsingka gained prominence in April 2023 after a video criticizing the high sugar content in Bournvita led to significant changes in the product. Despite legal challenges from the brand, his efforts prompted a reduction in sugar levels.
Recently, Himatsingka highlighted the high sodium content in meals served on Indigo flights, comparing them unfavorably to popular instant noodles. He cautioned that while these airline meals may seem healthier on the surface, they often contain unexpectedly high sodium levels.
This morning, Himatsingka shared a photo of the note he received on his Air India flight from the pilots.
