Paragraph - Food Adulteration

Paragraph: Food Adulteration

Food adulteration means the process of making food by mixing such substances or chemicals which make the food less pure and harmful for human body. Nowadays food adulteration has become a very serious problem in our country. Man cannot live without food. It is essential for good health and happy life. But this food must be pure, clean and fresh. But unfortunately, some unscrupulous businessmen are adulterating foods indiscriminately only to make money. In hotels and restaurants, stale and rotten foods are mixed with fresh foods and served to the customers. Fish and vegetables are adulterated by putting on them chemicals and preservatives in order to make them look fresh. Bakery and confectionery products are also prepared by using toxic substances. Even fruits, milk and beverages are also adulterated. Although some chemicals may seem to increase the taste of the food, they are harmful for health. These chemicals often pose serious threat to public health. They may cause fatal diseases such as kidney failure, cancer and diarrhea and so on. Sometimes adulteration is done so acutely that it becomes quite impossible to identify whether the food is adulterated or not. So, we must be careful while buying any food item. However, we cannot let adulteration go on. We should make every necessary arrangement possible to stop it immediately. Law should be made and enforced cruelly against those who are responsible for thus heinous crime. Public awareness should be created so that people become more careful about buying food items. Finally, we should raise a social movement against this crime and the criminals.
