In recent years, there have been worrying problems in the field of food safety in China. Sudan red in KFC chicken, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate in tofu, toxic vegetables in jiaozi ... 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, brought serious impact on people's lives and health, and even touched everyone's heart.
Food safety problems do exist around us. My rural hometown is rich in edible fungi. I remember the last time I went home, I visited the whole production process of mushrooms. When my uncle and I walked into the mushroom shed, a warm current with the smell of mushrooms came face to face. My uncle told me that this is the place where mushrooms are made and showed me the making process. I saw my uncle working with other boys. I was fascinated by it, but in the end I felt something was wrong. I saw them make mushroom tube bags and soak them in paraffin liquid. My uncle told me that soaking in paraffin can not only ensure that mushroom sticks will not rot, but also be waterproof. After the mushroom grows, it can also ensure that the water of the mushroom will not be lost, which plays a very good preservation role. After listening to their introduction to the function of paraffin, I became more and more confused about the word "paraffin" and decided to make it clear.
When I got home, the first thing I did was turn on the computer and search for knowledge about paraffin. Finally understand its true colors. It turns out that wax is an industrial product, also called industrial paraffin. It is a complex chemical composition, 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 turns out that this is the "wax mushroom" that is strictly forbidden to eat on TV. Seeing this, I finally understand that these mushroom farmers put industrial paraffin into the production of edible fungi to produce poisonous mushrooms in order to earn a lot of money and pursue the greatest self-interest. They don't know that this behavior is a crime. If these mushrooms are exported abroad, it will not only affect people's lives and health, but also cause diplomatic disputes and damage China's international image. It is really wrong of them to do so.
It turns out that food safety problems happen around us, and 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 strict law enforcement 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 do not include articles used for therapeutic purposes.
Food safety means that food is non-toxic and harmless, meets nutritional requirements and will 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 worried. 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 has become a hot topic of great concern. "Sudan Red Incident", "Water-injected Meat" and the recent "Sanlu Milk Powder Incident" all affect the hearts of the general public. With the diversified development of food, various additives are constantly being refurbished and emerged, and are constantly added to food. There are additives in dental floss and melamine in milk powder. Although the information about food safety in modern society is asymmetric, it may 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 consider the production process of the food, and you don't really consider whether it has passed the national health inspection. You only consider the taste, but sometimes you will 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 reputation of the country. This is undoubtedly a shame, a kind of incompetence, and also a manifestation of the extinction of human nature.
When food safety problems occur, people will first think of sellers and manufacturers. Yes, the pursuit of interests is the bounden duty of enterprises, but we can't lose humanity; Yes, the competition among enterprises is mainly price, but they can't inject water into pork; Yes, the distribution of interests among enterprises, within enterprises and between enterprises and people is sometimes distorted, but they can't bear the health of consumers.
Of course, enterprises have their responsibilities, but officials of relevant state departments can't stand idly by. It is their responsibility to put people's interests first and rely on national laws and regulations to protect people's health. There is a saying that "it is better to be an official than to go home and sell sweet potatoes." At present, it is urgent to establish a food safety system. Now, the Food Safety Law has given some people a "reassurance". There are standards for food safety, but every 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 and sold directly without inspection. In this way, we can say that we are irresponsible to the party and the people.
Consumers' own awareness of prevention and self-safety and health protection are also indispensable. Of course, when buying food, you can't simply believe the boasted advertisements: quality first, and so on. From the understanding of some consumers, they all rely on advertisements and frankly say: if quality comes first, who will buy food with second quality? On the other hand, if you are not responsible for your health, who will care about you?
When food safety problems occur, people's health will be threatened. Faced with such a serious problem, why is there "problem food"? Where is the so-called humanity? As the top of the natural biological chain, don't we reap the consequences?
