People can not live without food every day, so food safety becomes our top concern naturally.

　　The importance of food safety is undisputed. We absorb nutrition from our diet which has a central role to play in ensuring our health. What’s more, health statistics clearly indicate that our health is closely associated with the quality of food. Nowadays, we purchase food from markets, so the food safety there would be of key importance.

　　In my opinion, while commercially prepared food is usually safe, rare accidents do occur, however, things often go contrary to our wishes since we are the witnesses of a string of incidents of food safety problems happening in China, ranging from the industrial dye of tofu to the notorious melamine-tainted milk powder. So serious are the accidents that even some victims lost their lives. Rapidly, these series of incidents focused the national spotlight on the food safety in our daily life. Obviously, it is the certain kinds of illegal food additives that pose severe dangers to the general public.

　　Luckily, our government is very concerned about food safety. In recent years, it has passed laws and regulations on food safety and special offices were established to oversee the food safety problems. Also, as consumers, our efforts will be a good contribution to eliminate these problems, too. Only when food safety isn’t a troublesome thing any more, can we have a bright future.
