The 21st century, is a rapid economic development, with advanced technology in the world. People living standard enhancement, no more hunger, although there is no hunger but now people CARES for another thing, how to eat green food, health food and worry!

The food safety can not be ignored, its about the health of people, will be affected by any carelessness life-threatening!

Someone will ask: "that to eat what good?" Is ah! What should eat? Can have the industrial salt chicken, duck, goose, there will be residual pesticides in vegetables, drink will have pigment, even pork by water injection. We can also go to eat some of what? Should go to eat? Do you still dare to dare not to eat table food?

Often reported on TV, clenbuterol, Sudan red, cooking oil, etc. Even the sanlu milk powder was also said to be "poisonous milk powder", in order to reduce the cost of some small retailers should use as edible salt industrial salt can lead to cancer. These carcinogenic food, all in the name of "cheap" to sell to those who are not informed. Although many not have seized "production license". Illegal manufacturer has not been sealed, but there are many dangerous also hidden in our side!

As the saying goes: "man is iron, the meal is steel, a meal is not to eat so hungry panic" although we cant stop illegal businessmen but we can not buy 3 without food, so we should choose safe food, production date, there are number of qs food. I think if every one of us can see the production date before shopping, choose to have qs food then wont make illegal businessmen have a chance!

On February 6, the first time China has set up a special food safety work, high-level deliberation and coordination agencies of the state council food safety commission, the 15 members including 29 ministries and commissions under the state council. The ministry of agriculture, ministry of health, quality supervision, inspection and quarantine, state administration for industry and commerce, food and drug administration and other relevant departments collaboration.

I believe that every person, so long as you dont deceive and administration management, illegal businessmen will explode!

二十一世纪，是个经济发展迅速，拥有先进技术的世界。人们生活水平提高，不再有饥饿，现在虽然没有了饥饿可是人们又为另一件事而烦忧：怎样才能吃到绿色食品，健康食品而发愁!

民以食为天，食品安全不可忽视，它关乎人们的健康，稍有不慎就会危及生命!

有人会问：“那吃什么好那?”是呀!应该吃什么那?鸡、鸭、鹅中会有工业盐，蔬菜中会有残余的农药，饮料里会有色素，就连猪肉都被注水。我们还能去吃一些什么呢?应该去吃去什么?餐桌上的菜你还敢不敢吃?

电视上经常报道，瘦肉精、苏丹红、地沟油等。就连三鹿奶粉也被说是“毒奶粉”有些不法商贩为了减少成本竟然用可以导致致癌的工业盐充当食用盐。这些致癌食品它们打着“廉价”的旗号，来销售给那些不知情的人。虽然已经查封了许多没有“生产许可证”的厂家。但是还有许多不法厂家没有被查封，危险还隐藏在我们身边!

俗话说：“人是铁，饭是钢，一顿不吃饿得慌”我们虽然不能制止不法商家但是我们可以不去买三无食品，所以我们应当选择安全食品，有生产日期，有qs号等食品。我想如果我们每一个人都能在买东西前看看生产日期，选择有qs的食品那么就不会让不法商家有可乘之机!

2月6日，中国首次特别设立了食品安全工作高层次议事协调机构——国务院食品安全委员会，成员包括国务院29个部委中的15个。农业部、卫生部、质检总局、工商总局、食品药品监督管理局等有关部门分工协作。

我相信每个人只要不被蒙骗，加上管理局的管理，不法商家就会不攻自破!

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

The so-called food safety, is the food does not contain any harmful substances to human body. If food spoilage or containing toxic substances, will bring harm to our body and even life-threatening. Food safety is about peoples life and health. Inferior food greatly endanger peoples health, light diarrhea diarrhea, or poisoning coma, moreover may cause death. Indeed, food safety is directly related with the health and quality of life of the masses. Schools around there are many small shops, the inviting "gourmet" from the fragrance, the classmates to withstand the snack temptation, you, me one yuan to buy a lot of snacks, the results some buy snacks classmates because bought not health food and have loose bowels.

Remember once I saw a news on TV: a famous yogurt brand for some reason, the expired yogurt repackage again, also good food quality supervision administration found in time, otherwise the consequence is unimaginable. Look at these factories, how hard, in order to market competition, regardless of the health of consumers.

The above examples are enough to prove that the importance of food safety, food unsafe events caused great influence to peoples life, food regulators have also been attaches great importance to this problem. Believe that relevant departments can seriously, strict management, give you a rest assured food environment. We, as a primary school student, as a member of a society, we should also be constantly improve the self-protection ability and the ego to protect consciousness, render and do our work with regulators.

所谓食品安全，就是食品里不含任何对人体有害物质。如果食品变质或者含有毒物质，就会给我们身体带来危害甚至危及生命。食品安全关乎人的生命健康。劣质食品极大得危害了人的健康，轻则拉肚子腹泻，重则中毒昏迷，更有甚者可能会引起死亡。的确，食品安全直接关系着群众的身体健康和生活质量。学校周边有许多小店，那诱人的“美食“发出阵阵香味，同学们抵挡不住零食的诱惑，你五角，我一元地买了许多零食，结果有些买零食的同学都因为买了不卫生的食品而拉肚子。

记得有一次我在电视里看到了一个新闻:某一知名酸奶品牌因为某种原因，把过期的酸奶重新包装了一遍，还好食品质量监督管理局及时发现，不然后果不堪设想。看看这些厂家，多么毒辣，为了市场上的竞争，竟不顾消费者的健康。

以上事例都足以证明食品安全的重要性，食品不安全的事件给人们的生活造成了很大的影响，食品监管部门也一直很重视这个问题。相信有关部门能够严肃处理，严格管理，给大家一个放心的食品食用环境。而我们作为一名小学生，作为社会的一份子，我们也应该要不断提高自我保护能力和自我保护意识，以及尽自己的绵薄之力配合监管部门工作。
