Who Should Take the Blame-ford.food contamination？

 

Nowadays various kinds of news coverage on food contamination has been heard of. People are in the fear of the milk food contamination, the poisonous fish, the pesticide-left vegetables and so on. Some people blame it for those companies’ lack of responsibilities, and others criticize the government. In my opinion, as the governor and supervisor of the food safety, government has unshirkable responsibility for food contamination.

On the one hand, the governmental institutions don’t perform their duty of supervision well. Citizens pay taxes for the service of the government. So the latter has the responsibility for the food safety of every person. They should develop stringent standards for food safety, and strictly examine the products of every company on schedule. But if they are serious about their duty, how can so many cases come out? It is because of their act of omission that the condemned food enters the market. The customers are disappointed again and again, and they will not trust the quality supervision departments any more. The government should squarely face the problem and take a down-to-earth attitude toward it.

On the other hand, the government didn’t take decisive and effective actions to thoroughly rectify and regulate the order of the food market. Most of the food contamination cases are treated after the media coverage that those cases are not seized by the governmental institutions. It is believed that the examining techniques and methods of government are advanced, but they are blind to the illegal act. If the media and the public didn’t put pressure on them, they would go on escaping from the reality. What’s more, the related law should be enforced. The criminal knew clearly the harm of the contaminated food to people, but he still did the misdeeds. Because the punishment for food contamination is not serious, and the profits are much higher than producing standard goods, this kind of crime is repeated. There is an urgent need to strengthen food monitoring and intensify legislation and its implementation.

Food is the first necessity of people. The government has the responsibility to protect every citizen and regulate the food market. Throughout the country we must resolutely implement the following principles: the law must be observed, law enforcement must be strict, law-breakers must be dealt with accordingly and all persons are equal before the law. Only in this way can the government perform its duty and people enjoy the food safely.
