Eating Safely
Food safety is very important to us.How can we make food safe?Here’s some advice.
First,we shouldn’t go out to eat fast food often.At the restaurant there is also some food that isn’t safe,such as unhealthy oil.
Second,we should make food clean before cooking.Remember to boil food.
Third,we should buy and eat food carefully.If the food is in bags,we should read instructions and dates carefully.Make sure the food is safe.

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.
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 witnessed 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.
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 possibly 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.
