Food safety and health
In recent years, there have been worrying problems in the field of food safety in China. "Sudan red" in KFC chicken, "hanging white blocks" in tofu, "poisonous vegetables" in dumplings ... More dangerous is "melamine", which not only appears in milk in large quantities, but also exists in eggs. These various food safety problems, like the current global financial crisis, have swept the whole earth, which has brought serious impact on people's lives and health, and even touched everyone's hearts.
food safety problems do exist around us. My hometown in the countryside is rich in edible fungi. I remember the last time I went home, I visited the whole production process of mushrooms. When I walked into the mushroom shed with my uncle, a warm current with the smell of mushrooms came face to face. My uncle told me that this is the place to make mushrooms and showed me the production process. I saw my uncle working with other boys. I was fascinated by it, but at last I felt something was wrong. I saw that they made the mushroom tube bag and soaked it in paraffin liquid. My uncle told me that soaking in paraffin can not only ensure that the mushroom sticks will not rot, but also be waterproof. After the mushroom grows, it can also ensure that the moisture of the mushroom will not be lost, which plays a very good role in preservation. After listening to their introduction to the function of paraffin, I became more and more wrong with the word "paraffin" and decided to make it clear.
when I got home, the first thing I did was to turn on my computer and search for knowledge about paraffin wax. Finally understand its true colors. It turns out that wax is an industrial product, also called industrial paraffin. It is a complex chemical component, and its dangerous component is mainly benzene, which is a very harmful substance to human body. Experts point out that it is the chief culprit of human skin cancer and lung cancer. I was shocked to read the introduction. It turned out that this is the strictly forbidden "wax mushroom" advertised on TV. Seeing this, I finally understand that these mushroom farmers, in order to earn a lot of money and pursue the greatest self-interest, put industrial paraffin into the production of edible fungi to produce poisonous mushrooms. They don't know that this kind of behavior is a crime, which not only affects people's lives and health, but also causes diplomatic disputes and damages China's international image if these mushrooms are exported abroad. It is really wrong for them to do so.
It turns out that food safety problems happen around us, or they may be happening to us, endangering our health. I think our country should attach great importance to food safety, and only by strengthening legislation and strictly enforcing the law can these problems be stopped. At the same time, as a primary school student, we should also actively participate in the propaganda of food safety, so that more people can understand the harm of food safety and resist pesticide food, chemical food and problem food, so that food safety can go with our health.
food safety and humanity
generally speaking, food is what people eat and drink every day. Specifically, it refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking, as well as articles that are traditionally both food and medicine, but excluding articles for therapeutic purposes.
food safety means that food is non-toxic and harmless, meets the nutritional requirements, and does not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to human health. Unsafe food becomes "problem food".
when it comes to food safety, people are extremely concerned and concerned. Because with the continuous progress of economy and society, the continuous development of economic globalization and the diversification of people's food culture, food hygiene and safety have become a hot topic of great concern. "Sudan Red Incident", "Water-injected Meat" and the recent "Sanlu Milk Powder Incident" all touched the hearts of the general public. With the diversified development of food, various additives are constantly refurbished and emerged, and are constantly added to food. There are additives in floss and melamine in milk powder. Although the information about food safety in modern society is asymmetric, it may all be the default of consumers. Considering the food we eat every day and the people around us, most of them agree with the view that "out of sight is clean". Yes, when you eat food, you don't think about the production process of food, and you don't really think about whether it has passed the national health inspection. You just consider the taste, but sometimes you eat "problem food" In my opinion, the production of "problem food" by manufacturers not only affects people's life safety, but also seriously threatens the country's reputation. This is undoubtedly a shame, a kind of incompetence, and a manifestation of the extinction of human nature.
when there is a problem in food safety, people will first think of sellers and manufacturers. Yes, pursuing interests is the bounden duty of enterprises, but they can't lose their humanity; Yes, the competition between enterprises is mainly about price, but they can't inject water into pork; Yes, the distribution of benefits is sometimes distorted between enterprises, within enterprises and between enterprises and people, but they can't bear the health of consumers.
Enterprises certainly have their responsibilities, but officials from relevant state departments can't stand aside. It is their responsibility to put people's interests first and rely on national laws and regulations to safeguard people's health. There is a saying that "it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes than to be an official." At present, the establishment of a food safety system is the top priority. Now, the Food Safety Law has given some people a "reassurance". There are standards for food safety, but each enterprise has its own "standards", and sometimes the standards cannot be implemented, because some local officials, leaders and manufacturers "collude" and have so-called inspection-free products, which are issued with hygiene licenses without inspection and sold directly. In this way, we can say that we are not responsible for the party and the people.
consumers' own awareness of prevention and self-safety and health protection is also indispensable. Of course, when buying food, you can't simply believe the boasted advertisements: quality first, and so on. From some consumers' understanding, they all rely on advertisements and frankly say: Who will buy food with second quality if there is quality first? On the other hand, if you are not responsible for your own health, who will care about you?
when food safety problems occur, people's health will be threatened. In the face of such a serious problem, why is there "problem food"? Where is the so-called human nature? As the top of the natural biological chain, aren't we reaping the consequences?
