2 食品安全问题的知识

1. On Food Safety

Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food safety has become a hot button across society. The prevalence of food unsafe has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of the People Daily.

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.

As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead. 2..Food Safety

3.如何解决这一问题

It is universally acknowledged that the safety of food is closely related to our health. However, at the beginning of the year 2008, the low-quality milk products by SANLU Company killed many babies. Therefore, it is high time that we paid attention to this grave issue. There are several reasons for this several problems. First and foremost, some product makers, in order to make huge profits, make fake commodities or products of poor quality. In addition, the monitor role of laws and regulations has not been implemented in a strict way. Last but not least, the public especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food.

In view of the graveness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. Firstly, it is imperative that relevant laws and regulation should be enforced in a stringent way. Secondly, the public should be trained to be alert to food quality. Only by taking these actions can the problem be tackled successfully in the nearest future. Food Safety is Our Top Concern

People cannot live without food every day, so food safety becomes our top concern naturally.

The importance of food safety is undisputed(无疑的). We absorb nutrition from our diet which has a central role to play in ensuring our health. What’s more, health statistics clearly indicate that our health is

closely associated with the quality of food. Nowadays, we purchase food from markets, so the food safety there would be of key importance. In my opinion, while commercially prepared food is usually safe, rare accidents do occur, however, things often go contrary to our wishes since we are the witnesses of a string of incidents of food safety problems happening in China, ranging from the industrial dye(着色) of tofu to the notorious(臭名远扬的) melamine-tainted milk powder. So serious are the accidents that even some victims lost their lives. Rapidly, these series of incidents focused the national spotlight on the food safety in our daily life. Obviously, it is the certain kinds of illegal food additives(添加剂) that pose severe dangers to the general public.

Luckily, our government is very concerned about food safety. In recent years, it has passed laws and regulations on food safety and special offices were established to oversee the food safety problems. Also, as consumers, our efforts will be a good contribution to eliminate these problems, too. Only when food safety isn’t a troublesome thing any more, can we have a bright future. Food Safety is Our Top Concern

We don’t have to worry about the shortage of food nowadays in our nation as the economy and technology have been more advanced than the past. However, we are faced with more and more social problems in many fields, such as health insurance, children’s education and so on. In

the midst of these problems, food safety is our top concern.

Food safety, in my point of view, includes the one during the process of production as well as in the marketplace. Speaking of the former one, people will definitely come up with the Sanlu milk powder issue. The producer mixed the milk powder with the harmful additives, which is called melamine(三聚氰胺). It directly resulted in many cases of health problems among babies and adults. On the other hand, the safety in marketplace is essential as well. Once the food, which is stored in the fridge of supermarket, is tainted(污染) with certain kinds of microbes(病菌) or poisoned by vandals, the public health will be exposed to a dangerous situation.

Accordingly, necessary actions should be taken by the government before the market of food become completely out of order. Related laws should be made as soon as possible, and more importantly, moral ideas of producing and keeping food safe ought to be accepted by everyone.
