Food Safety
A miracle-we are still alive
Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media.The problem of food security has become a hot button acro society.The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore.Leather milk, substandard milk powder, illegal cooking oil exposed in recent years.It’s greatly influence our live.There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide.First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem.More importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend.In fact, the poisonous food aociated with Japan.In China, a variety of pesticides, antibiotics, antibiotics are from Japan.In a manner of speaking, the problem of Chinese food should be attributed to Japan.In 1990s, Japanese companies were optimistic about China's cheap labor and the huge market potential.And then the Japanese companies have entered China with the tide of reform and opening up.In 1980s, Japan began to surge in China's pesticide export.In 1984, export volume had reached 26.5 billion yen.It’s irresponsible that Japanese companies take pesticides and antibiotics to China.In addition, Japan did not give a detailed description of the pesticides.Our country also make a list of healthy food additives and some law about it.However, many food manufacturers do not obey it and use lots of illegal food additives.These food additives are harmful to our body.For example, sanlu milk powder is added in illegal chemicals.If babies eat it, they will get gallstone disease.Another hot button is illegal cooking oil.Many restaurants use the illegal cooking oil to reduce the cost so they can get more profits.However, the illegal cooking oil contains a large of chemicals that will cause cancer.So it is very terrible.I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things.They aim to gain more money at the expense of consumers’ health.Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality.The exceive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people.Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit.As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed.Though many other countries, even countries like the U.S.and Japan, have also experienced food safety crises in some periods of their development, maybe none of them has witneed food safety problems on such a large scale and during such a long period of time.Actually, problematic food products had been with us for quite a long time before we realized them and almost no single food or even drink can be claimed absolutely safe.Flours may contain too much chemicals like brightener that can turn them into the desirable color;meat might have been produced by animals that have consumed chemicals to add to the red part of meat;vegetables may have too much remnants of pesticides on their leaves;even milk and other beverages may have in them poisonous chemicals to make them smell flagrant and tasty.There is no denying the fact that food safety is a grave problem with which this country is confronted.A joke goes that everyone who can survive in China can survive in any other part of the world, which means that the test one faces in China in terms of food safety is the gravest in the world.The most notable instance might be the notorious San Lu milk powder scandal which has drawn considerable publicity in the past months.Causing kidney stones among thousands of infants and deaths of some of them, the milk powder containing overdose melamine is but one example of numerous substandard food products in this country.While blaming those wrongdoers and sympathizing those victims, we must examine the fundamental causes of the problem and work out effective solutions.Why are substandard food products so rampant in China? Poor supervision and law enforcement might be the leading reason.Actually, we do have such departments as the bureau of food safety supervision and administration and the bureau of industry and commerce in various levels of the government, but are they really functioning or fulfilling their duties? The answer is most poibly no.We do not have to go to factories or markets to check their performance.We only need to go and have a look at those restaurants to know that those bureaus are not working.I believe that every one of us has noticed that tableware is not properly sanitized in some restaurants but no one says or does anything about that phenomenon.Truly, some will condemn those manufacturers as immoral and profit-hunting, but it is nothing to blame for an enterprise to go after returns within the limit of law and almost all companies will take the risk if the cost of producing substandard food is as low as it used to be.We needn’t go far to see the disastrous consequences of the food safety crisis.Not only are people’s health and lives directly threatened, but tremendous amounts of resources are wasted.The thousands of tons of milk powder burned to ashes is a case in point.Furthermore, an atmosphere of dishonesty and disbelief will permeate the entire society, which will not only hinder the development of economy but will ruin the nation spiritually.Therefore, it is high time that pertinent laws and regulations were worked out and rigidly enforced to crack down on any production and circulation of substandard food products.Meanwhile, inactive and incompetent civil servants should be immediately purged from the team of food safety supervision and administration.Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future of this nation.
