Omie Goes On Strike
When your microbes start chanting, it’s probably because:
• Your snack game is all crunch, no fiber.
• Chips don’t count as a balanced diet (even the spicy ones).
• Someone really needs a banana.
In this strip, Zara’s love of namak para, bhujia, and sev reaches critical mass… and her gut? Well, it’s had enough. Omie shows up mid-snack with picket signs, a bullhorn, and zero chill.
This isn’t just gut drama for laughs (although yes, it is very funny) — it’s also a reminder that:
• Fiber is food for your microbes. Without it, your gut bacteria can’t do their jobs.
• Prebiotics (like bananas, oats, apples, and sprouts) help nourish good bacteria.
• A gut without fiber is basically a protest waiting to happen.
Zara may not be ready to give up her favorite snacks — and she doesn’t have to. But Omie’s protest makes one thing clear: your gut just wants a little backup. A handful of roasted chana, a slice of fruit, or some crunchy veggies on the side? That’s all it takes to keep the peace.
