In recent years, there have been worrying problems in the field of food safety in China. Sudan red in KFC chicken, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate in tofu, poisonous vegetables in jiaozi ... More dangerous is melamine, which not only appears in milk in large quantities, but also exists in eggs. These various food safety problems, just like the current global financial crisis, have swept the whole earth, brought serious impacts on people's lives and health, and even touched everyone's heart.
Food safety problems do exist around us. My hometown is in the countryside, rich in edible fungi. I remember the last time I went home and visited the whole production process of mushrooms. When my uncle and I walked into the mushroom shed, a warm current with the smell of mushrooms came face to face. My uncle told me that this is the place where mushrooms are made and showed me the production process. I saw my uncle working with other boys. I was fascinated by it, but in the end I felt something was wrong. I saw them make mushroom tube bags and soak them in paraffin liquid. My uncle told me that soaking in paraffin can not only ensure that the mushroom sticks will not rot, but also be waterproof. After the mushrooms grow out, it can also ensure that the water of the mushrooms will not be lost, which plays a good role in keeping fresh. After listening to their introduction to the function of paraffin, I became more and more wrong with the word "paraffin" and decided to make it clear.
When I got home, the first thing I did was turn on the computer and search for knowledge about paraffin. Finally understand its true colors. It turns out that wax is an industrial product, also called industrial paraffin. It is a complex chemical composition, and its dangerous component is mainly benzene, which is a very harmful substance to human body. Experts point out that it is the chief culprit of human skin cancer and lung cancer. I was shocked to read the introduction. It turns out that this is the "mushroom" that is strictly forbidden to eat on TV. Seeing this, I finally understand that these mushroom farmers, in order to earn a lot of money and pursue the greatest self-interest, put industrial paraffin into the production of edible fungi to produce poisonous mushrooms. They don't know that this kind of behavior is a crime, which not only affects people's lives and health, but also causes diplomatic disputes and damages China's international image if these mushrooms are exported abroad. It is really wrong of them to do so.
It turns out that food safety problems happen around us, and may be happening to us, endangering our health. I think our country should attach great importance to food safety. Only by strengthening legislation and strictly enforcing the law can we put an end to these problems. At the same time, as a primary school student, we should also actively participate in the propaganda of food safety, so that more people can understand the harm of food safety, resist pesticide food, chemical food and problem food, and let food safety go with our health.
