In the Foods industry, I think food safety has become a relatively important topic. The significance of food safety and its relation to the consumers is an area which I think factory farming and its corporations mishandle greatly. I agree with the notion that food safety is not taken seriously enough. In spite of all the food we cook and eat on a daily basis without getting sick a lot of people do get very ill from food related diseases. According to food safety article I read it online it says about 76 million Americans suffer from food poisoning each year.
For instance, contamination in cow meat created the mad cow disease which has no cure. This disease affected over 200,000 cattle globally and several within the United States
Moving on, today’s corporations don’t maintain sanitary conditions in their factory farms. In relation and elaborating on the web article I read, it says with the significant increase in the speed of processing, workers are hard pressed to maintain the highest level of sanitation then continues to say, while the rate at which animals are butchered goes up, so does the rate of contamination. This shows you how these corporations value quantity over quality then they sell these products on store shelves for people like me and you to buy. Contamination in the food industry is not only limited to meat but also happens with all types of products such as toothpaste, pet food, fruits and vegetables. It has been documented that the largest outbreak of Hepatitis A was traced back to green onions in Chi-Chi’s Salsa. About 600 people in Pittsburgh
In conclusion, who is to say what is safe to eat? Is the answer the government, the FDA or the individuals who purchase these foods? Are you willing to take a chance to get the answer? Is that chance worth you being infected with a disease.
Till next next.....
