After making water free at all World Cup stadiums, spectators will be served free popcorn and cold drinks at the Wankhede Stadium. The&nbsp;Mumbai Cricket Association took the decision after the&nbsp;South Africa vs Bangladesh match on Tuesday (Oct 24).

MCA President Amol Kale said he proposed&nbsp;the idea which was accepted and that the association will bear all the costs associated with the exercise. The decision could potentially help draw massive crowds at the stadium, especially during the neutral matches.&nbsp;

“I had proposed to provide free one-time popcorn and cold drinks to all fans who turn up to watch World Cup games. It will be for non-hospitality areas. Once their tickets are stamped, free popcorn and coke will be given to each fan," Kale was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.&nbsp;

"The MCA will bear the cost of it. We will be starting this from India vs Sri Lanka game and it will be done till the semis. The MCA Apex members have agreed to the proposal,” he added.

The Wankhede Stadium has three matches left in its kitty for the World Cup. India take on Sri Lanka on November 2 before Afghanistan square up against Australia on November 7. The first semifinal will take place here as well, with the top team on the points table meeting the fourth-placed team.&nbsp;

Apart from the free popcorn and cold drinks, MCA will also unveil the statue of Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on November 1. The statue will be unveiled&nbsp;in the area outside the MCA lounge where a roundabout has been created.&nbsp;

<h2>BCCI announces free water</h2>

On the opening day of the World Cup&nbsp;earlier this month, BCCI&nbsp;Secretary Jay Shah announced that spectators and fans will be provided with free mineral and packaged drinking water across all stadium venues in the country.&nbsp;

"I am proud to announce that we're providing FREE mineral and packaged drinking water for spectators at stadiums across India. Stay hydrated and enjoy the games! Let's create unforgettable memories during CWC 2023!" announced Jay Shah.&nbsp;

Despite being the centre of the cricketing world, the basic amenities at most Indian stadiums have remained dismal over the years. While stadiums in SENA countries encourage the public to have a good time, Indian spectators often find themselves manoeuvring a thousand regulations to watch a match. However, the recent announcements are expected to ease the spectators' experience.&nbsp;

World Cup 2023: Cinema experience for spectators? Free popcorn, cold drinks to be provided at Wankhede Stadium

A new study published by the scientific journal PNAS has shown that eating chips and drinking sugary beverages have&nbsp;a very low impact on the environment.

While analysing 57,000 products sold in supermarkets in Britain and Ireland, scientists found eating fruits and vegetables is better for the planet than eating meat and cheese.

Comparing the results with the nutritional qualities of these foods, the researchers hope that their study may allow consumers to shop more sustainably without sacrificing anything for their health.

As they are composed mostly of water, juice concentrates, sodas, or other fruit juices are among the products sold with the lowest environmental impact.

The more sustainable a food is the better it is from a nutritional point of view and vice-versa, according to researchers.

Instead of analysing single ingredients, the study focused on multiple ingredients including sauces, prepared meals, and others.

A major challenge that the researchers faced during the study was the fact that only about three percent of the more than 57,000 products sold by eight food retailers had their composition fully disclosed.&nbsp;

As ingredients are notably listed in order of quantity used in Britain and Ireland, scientists developed an algorithm based on the few known pieces of information to evaluate the missing products.

While red meat has a high environmental impact, bread has a relatively low or intermediate impact on our surroundings.

If plant-based alternatives are used instead of meat, dairy, and eggs, it will have large environmental and health benefits, according to the study.

The researchers said that knowing the proportions and origin of different ingredients in a better manner would help to determine more precisely their impact on the environment.
