They consume everything in excess, without realizing the effect it has on poor and middle-class people. As for myself, I have to be on a diet consisting mostly of fruits and vegetables, for medical reasons. If I stop buying fruit, what will I eat? You have to find some way of convincing the wealthy Pakistanis to consume less, whether it's fruits, or atta, or even petrol. And I don't think they will listen to people like you and me. They have so much that they can afford to pay ten times more for everything. Fahd: the reason why prices of everything are going up is because the very rich don’t care a damn.

Not only atta, but everything is touching the sky. If you look closely, you have yourself answered your question,"Does this mean we should stop eating atta? " I have said "dont eat fruits" because its realistic. I am not that cruel like those hoarders :) Fruits are which can easily be left behind for a while. It would be a symbolic gesture of unity from the nation, as the next commenter Amir Askari has said. I have also said that we should also start using just the inevitable items, if we can affort it. It's timidness to say that we dont have solution to this problems. We have the solution, and that doesnt lie in weeping, cursing and self-persecution. That lies in the unity. That lies in the iron-clad retaliation. Strike at their heart. Dont use their products. Let them rot in hell of their rotten products. We have got the muscle to upturn all these rogues, hoarders, price hikers , corrupt officials, and politicians. The only thing is as Amir Askari said, we need unity against these oppressors. @ Amir Askari: Thanks, Unity is what is needed. @ Shakir: I disagree with respect. Not only atta, but everything is touching the sky. If you look closely, you have yourself answered your question,”Does this mean we should stop eating atta? “

Does this mean we should stop eating atta? There is no solution to this price hike, it happens every year in the holy month. And the fact that all the fruit is sold at the high prices means that there are rich people who can afford them.
