Food Safety

Currently, many problems concerning the safety of food have popped up. As for me, I believe at least three factors account for this issue.

First, I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things. They aim to gain more money at the expense of consumers' health. Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality. The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people. Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit. As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed.

All in all, food safety is such a great concern, and we all should establish laws and implement them effectively to avoid producing toxic foods.

小編有約：今天的主題是食品安全。“民以食為天”相信這句話是大家非常熟悉的，毛主席在開國(guó)初期的工作重點(diǎn)就是要解決幾十億人民的溫飽問題。今天溫飽問題早已解決，可是食品的安全卻擺在我們的眼前，特別是近年來的什么毒大米，地溝油，人造醬油等等問題的出現(xiàn)，使食品安全成為大家一直關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)，所以對(duì)于這點(diǎn)，咱也不能漏掉。

注釋：
① 這本篇文章中，Daisy認(rèn)為有個(gè)詞組用的非常的好，那就是pop up，我們來看看pop up的意義和用法，
pop up : 突然出現(xiàn), 冒出來。 舉兩個(gè)例句：1. He seems to pop up in the most unlikely places.在他似乎絕不可能到的地方，他往往就在那里出現(xiàn)。
2. As we walked along, we saw a rabbit pop up from its burrow and scurry across the field.我們正在向前走著，看到一只兔子突然從洞里跳出來，穿過田野。
這在以前來說，是不大可能出現(xiàn)的事。到了現(xiàn)代就突然出現(xiàn)了這么多的有毒有害產(chǎn)品。

②然后就是"degradation" n. 降格, 墮落, 退化的意思。用在這里很貼切，以后關(guān)于環(huán)境或者生活等等的語境下就可以用上這個(gè)單詞。
例句：
1. Environmental degradation is a global issue of common concern to the international community today.
環(huán)境惡化是當(dāng)今國(guó)際社會(huì)普遍關(guān)注的全球性問題。
2. The role of dopants and contaminants in degradation cannot be ignored.
雜質(zhì)和污染對(duì)退化的作用不能忽視。
