The food safety problem that is not reported every day may be the biggest food safety problem

In the mouth area, watching the cows stand in the half-human-high dung pile...it's disgusting. When I was in the United States, there was almost no media coverage of food safety issues. It turned out that they had already paid for it to not report it! Can't believe how difficult the Kevin Act was to pass and not get an apology. In China, there are at least Sanlu that has been reported to go bankrupt, and some KFC Sudan Red has reported that international companies immediately apologized. Maybe the scary thing is not the frequent negative reports, but the lack of reports? I remember when I was learning about prions, I thought it was a genetic disease at first, but later found out that it was caused by a protein that treats the disease. For example, mad cow disease, American mad cow disease beef has been popular for many years, and mad cow disease is caused by prions. The transmission logic of prions is the same! kind! Mutually! Food! That is, let live cows eat dead cows, crush the body of the dead cows, and use them as a source of protein for the live cows to eat. The scariest part is that bovine infections don't necessarily get sick, and prions are transmitted in the form of proteins. That is to say, even if the food is cooked at high temperature, as long as the protein is not completely destroyed, it is burned to ashes, and mad cow disease can spread. Also known as eating a piece of fully cooked beef, even if the protein is denatured, as long as the protein is still protein, the virus can continue to spread.

Food, Inc. quotes

  • Title card: SB-63 passed the State Legislature. But Governor Schwarzenegger then vetoed it.

    Eric Schlosser: These companies fight, tooth and nail, against labeling. The fast food industry fought against giving you the calorie information. They fought against telling you if there is trans-fat in your food. The meat packing idustry for years prevented country-of-origin labeling. They fought not to label genetically modified foods; and now 70% of processed food in the supermarket has some genetically modified ingredient.

  • Eric Schlosser: These companies have legions of attorneys. And they may sue, even if they know they can't win, just to send a message.
