As is known to all, food to human being is as water to fish. It is of utmost importance to everyone.
However, it's quite worrying that nowadays the safety problems of food are posing a grave threat to
the public interest.
In recent years, some money-oriented businessmen resort to illegal means in order to extract more
profits from consumers. They betray their conscience by injecting water into pork, adding harmful
substance to milk, or applying too much agricultural chemical to crops. Many consumers develop
severe illnesses which result from eating tainted food.
Government should be greatly responsible for launching a campaign against this phenomenon. Firstly,
it is important to build a wide-ranging surveillance system in order to guarantee the quality and
safety of products. Secondly, laws and regulations should be made to punish those who are selfish
and irresponsible.
But the governments alone cannot ensure the final success in uprooting the food safety problem, for
consumers themselves should also be fully aware of the potential harm of certain problematic
products.
