A miracle - we are still alive
Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot button across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which the government could not afford to ignore.
Leather milk, substandard milk powder, illegal cooking oil exposed in recent years. It’s greatly influence our live.
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.
In fact, the poisonous food associated with Japan. In China, a variety of pesticides, antibiotics, antibiotics are from Japan. In a manner of speaking, the problem of Chinese food should be attributed to Japan.
In 1990s, Japanese companies were optimistic about China's cheap labor and the huge market potential. And then the Japanese companies have entered China with the tide of reform and opening up. In 1980s, Japan began to surge in China's pesticide export. In 1984, export volume had reached 26.5 billion yen. It’s irresponsible that Japanese companies take pesticides and antibiotics to China. In addition, Japan did not give a detailed description of the pesticides.
Our country also make a list of healthy food additives and some law about it. However, many food manufacturers do not obey it and use lots of illegal food additives e food additives are harmful to our body example, sanlu milk powder is added in illegal chemicals. If babies eat it, they will get gallstone disease. Another hot button is illegal cooking oil. Many restaurants use the illegal cooking oil to reduce the cost so they can get more profits ver, the illegal cooking oil contains a large of chemicals that will cause cancer it is very terrible.
I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things. They aim
to gain more money at the expense of consumers’ health. Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality. The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people. Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit. As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed. 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.
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.
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.
good morning, my dear teachers and my friends.
it is my great pleasure to stand here to have a speech, Today i am going to talk about”food safety”.
〈Mention the food safety, people's hearts are unusual interest, concern. Because with economic and social progress, economic globalization continues, people food culture diversity, food hygiene and safety
become much-talked-about hot topic. Food diversification development, various additives renovates ceaselessly, emerging, trimethoxysilane cyanogen amine, Sudan red, red meat fine, no root agent, each report let a person, soul-stirring each report related to the general public's heart.
Food safety problems, the person's health would be threatened. Although the food safety is social information asymmetry, but may be consumer heart default, considering our everyday eat food, think about the people around us, they also mostly agree "out of sight, out of mind" view. Many consumers listen to media advertising, find out that problem, they knew that they again become victims. The body is his own, some poison is a lifetime all away, or even affect the next generation. Their own health, who is responsible for wrong will care about you
ging how we farm
Different farming systems vary enormously in their reliance on mined phosphate. Organic farms are more resilient to the coming phosphorus rock ‘shock’, as it can only be used as a supplement to nutrient recycling (including crop rotations, green manures, and composting), and not as a replacement. Organic crops generally have a lower fertiliser requirement than non-organic crops, with a greater capacity to scavenge for nutrients through denser and deeper root systems.
ging what we eat
Eating less meat can reduce the demand for mined phosphate. This is because vegetable-based production is more efficient in its use of
phosphorus then livestock production. Although different types of meat have different levels of mined phosphate demand depending on the farming system used to produce them. Meat from livestock grazed on grassland that has not been fertilised with artificial fertilisers, will
perform much better than meat from livestock grazed on fields that have been, or livestock fed on grain grown using artificial fertilizers
3,Changing how we deal with human exreta
The report recommends a radical change in the way we treat human exreta and the need to abandon our current ‘flush-and-forget’ toilet
systems in favour of Ecological Sanitation. The report also calls for a change to EU organic regulations to allow the use of human sewage – rich in ‘natural’ phosphate - on agricultural land to ensure phosphate levels are maintained. Globally only 10% of human waste is returned to agricultural soils. Urine alone contains more than 50% of the phosphorus excreted by humans.
Let the good faith in our hearts, and the let the world fill with love thank you for your listening.
good morning everyone, before my speech, i want to ask one question, what do you eat this morning? yeah, food is present in our life every time. so today my topic is how do we eat on campus?

3, the unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause different kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer, this is not a threat, some unhealthy food, containing various additives. and which give a tremendous threat to us. some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea[,dai?'ri?]、stomach ache and other disease of digestive tract. some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic [,kɑ:sin?u'd?enik] in a long time.
4, due to food safety is important in our life, so there so many things waiting for the government to do. （问1） first, strengthening food safety legislation [,led?is'lei??n] , and use the experiences of developed countries. strongly punish criminal for food safety. second, our government should promote food safety knowledge, to rise people’s of self-protection.
5, what is more, as a postgraduate, we also should do more on food safety. first of all, we should learn some essential common sense about safety food, and learn to recognize the unhealthy food by ourselves. ( 问2) second，do not covet ['k?vit] petty gain，in normal situation, the food price is stable, when you see a abnormal price, be carefull ! last, everyone should have awareness of unhealthy food, raise the sense of prevention.
though the food safety situation is bad, but i still believe through the joint efforts of government and all communities, we finally will eat the security food .
