On Food Safety
[00:11.79]As is shown in the picture,
[00:13.88]a lady with a magnifier is carefully examining the various vegetables
[00:19.13]laid on the table.
[00:21.31]In fact,
[00:22.47]this lady is among the many people
[00:25.02]who are paying growing attention to food safety.
[00:29.04]Why do people care so much about food safety lately?
[00:33.57]There are mainly two reasons for this.
[00:36.82]First, with the improvement of living standard,
[00:40.35]people are much more concerned about their health
[00:43.56]and their demand for quality food increases.
[00:47.20]Second,
[00:48.18]there have been a growing number of incidents
[00:50.66]involving food safety in recent years.
[00:54.03]Among these incidents,
[00:55.58]the toxic milk scandal,
[00:57.62]pesticide-contaminated vegetables and illegal cooking oil
[01:02.09]have shocked or even scared the nation.
[01:05.89]As I see it,
[01:07.39]food safety is closely related to people's health,
[01:11.03]so it is of great significance
[01:13.56]that the government take effective measures
[01:15.91]to ensure that food safety is well guaranteed.
