Ok. This oil is an edible extraction. But no one served you dishes cooked with mustard oil? Mustard is a very important crop in Punjab. Also, leaves and seeds all are used in cooking.

Nobody is disagreeing about mustard Crop and this crop is in KPK and Sindh also, but for other purposes.

Then you have geographical Punjab vs cultural Punjab. It is the most ancient edible oil in Punjab. Dalda and other vegetable oil are not so old which are also cheaper except Oilive oil which is similar in par with Mustard oil. The question is which Punjabi culture represent the mainstream as there are varieties of Punjabi languages and culture in the vast region. People never talk about these things because it all now covered under hybrid Turkic-Persian Muslim culture. Turkic meat only foods like kababs are now considered mainstream while very few people eat makki roti with sarson saag.

Mustard oil is the healthiest oil folks. We call it karrwa tail its got a high smoke point and does not break down. In many villages most sabzi/ salan/ qeema all cooked in karrwa tail. Mustard greens are used to make sarson da saag and generally eaten in the morning with parathay all over punjab.

That would be a commendable argument if the same applied to Indians and Afghans, whom many Pakistanis share genetics with. Food has to be a root issue. The main causes are a combination of overweightness, lack of activity, and obesity - which can be caused by issues regarding food intake.

Please provide a recent peer reviewed academic research from journal which states the root cause. Web articles are not reliable scientific source.
