for past few days i have been getting irritated with news about adulteration in food. take it milk products , fruits or vegetables or pulses nothing we eat today is as good as it used to be. its not very recent if you are thinking , it took its time to establish its market. ya but now it's in everything. reports say that ghee we eat is adulterated with animal fat that means worst fear of pure vegetarians i.e dead bodies of animals were seen around some ghee manufacturing plants. some people have said that when they bought vegetables they were of normal size and by evening they grew large meaning thereby that they were injected with harmful chemical oxytocin ,The other chemicals used are calcium carbide (CaC2), a chemical used in explosives and also used for artificial ripening of fruits especially mangoes.
these chemicals make fruits and vegetables ready to eat before their time and give them tempting fresh look. farmers are growing vegetables in different fields meant for commercial growing and adding pesticides and other chemicals to a great level.
studies have shown that injections given to cows while milking them are so harmful for cows health as it sucks their bones calcium slowly and also responsible for early puberty in children now.
i think its necessary to tell list of diseases as its way to long lets start from burning of eyes and skin due to calcium carbide, pulmonary ederna, tumours and cancers.
The prevention of food adulteration act 1954 deals with various aspects of food adulteration making food adulteration non bailable offence and imprisonment can be from 6 months and may extend to 3 years plus 1000 rupees fine.
but seems like that black marketeers are not afraid of law and considering the profit they make , they can have good lawyers to fight cases for them.
it is also fault of government mechanism as spending so much money and expenditure on budget means we would have been getting good quality food by now but doesn't see so to me.
all that money goes to pockets of officials and peanuts reach to farmers .
also food inspectors are careless in checking and allowing this to happen . we can have hundreds now to blame for not doing their duty or we can opt for be careful next time. make ghee at home , buy milk from good brands. idea of saving some money in this can give you great medical bills later on.
wish the amendment takes place in law giving severe penalty for adulterers for playing with health of millions.
i love the idea that if i am ready to pay taxes and price for my plate of food than i deserve good quality too.
be careful about what you eat.
