Food

safety has been closely watched, because our everyday life simply can not do

without food. Everyone knows this, but always some people again, lets worry

about it, whether our food safety and health.

Recently

of malachite green, Sudan red, and so on have been "destroyed" and are these

hearts duck eggs, and havent been solved completely. But even if they now have

to solve, but we also have to worry about "they" will not back not just in the

future? Thought of here, I cant help but think constantly behind the scenes

"make" the food of a few to endanger the safety of life. So I just sent a such

doubts are these people for the sake of what? I want to or for a word - money,

money is the devils bait. Because of the money, how many times this happened in

the world of murder, robbery and theft? Who would have thought such a sum of

money, is want to jail and the court criminal "supplier"?

Is

because the money has arisen: artificial sweetener, saccharin sodium, cyclamate

and preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate), etc. The use of food

additives. Therefore, I very want to some people dont understand, how many

people did their "product" harm? There are a lot of people after eating these

so-called "health and safe food" and diarrhea and vomiting, and even lost his

life!

However,

I think, in addition to criticise those who only know to make money and people

who do not care about their health and safety, we also need to improve their

awareness.

Such

as: apple too shiny instructions may be played in a wax. White spot on the

grapes too much may be excessive pesticide use.

These

instructions, defense artificially added chemicals in food, some harmful

substance is but with the naked eye or simple method of inspection.

We

should pay attention to food safety, want to for the sake of our health and make

great efforts, to strive for the sake of our civilization.

食品安全一直倍受关注,因为我们的日常生活根本离不开食品。所有人都知道这一点,但又总一些人,让我们担心,我们的食品是否安全,是否卫生。

最近的孔雀石绿、苏丹红等这些是已经被“消灭”了还有红心鸭蛋等还没完全被解决的。不过就算它们现在已经给解决了,可是我们还要担心“它们”还会不会在不就的将来卷土重来呢?想到这里,我就不禁想到了在幕后不断“制造”这一些危害人生安全的食品的人。于是我就发出了这样的疑惑这些人是为了什么?我想还是为了一个字——钱,钱是魔鬼得意的诱饵。因为钱,这世界上发生过多少次的谋杀、抢劫和盗窃?谁能想到这么一张张的钱币,竟是想监狱和法庭输送罪犯的“供应商”?

也就是因为了钱产生了:人工合成甜味剂(糖精钠、甜蜜素)和防腐剂(苯甲酸钠、山梨酸钾)等食品添加剂的使用情况。因此,我十分的想些人明不明白,他们的“产品”危害了多少人?有许多的人因为吃了这些所谓的“卫生、安全食品”而上吐下泻乃至丢了性命的!

不过,我想,除了批评那些只知道赚钱而不顾及他们身体健康、安全的人以外,我们还要提高自己的防范意识!

如:苹果过于的`发亮说明苹果可能打过蜡。葡萄上的白斑过多可能就是农药使用过量。

这些说明,防御食品中人为的添加化学物质、有害物质有些是可是用肉眼或简单的方法检验出来的。

我们要关注食品安全,要为了我们的健康而努力,要为了我们的文明而努力。
