Adulteration

Adulteration is nothing new in this society. But even the dishonest elements had some scruples in the past and they were not really mixing anything and everything with foods. But the situation has changed. They do not hesitate to mix toxic elements with foods that could even cause death.

It is really horrifying to know that even the posh restaurants in the city are supplying foods unfit for human consumption. And that is true about many of the dazzling fast food shops.

I think profit making is not the only reason behind such activities. We as a nation do not have the needed sense of health and hygiene. Those engaged in the catering service are perhaps not aware that supplying stale foods is a criminal offence.

So the only thing that we can do about it is to apply the law very strictly. Nobody should be allowed to get away with adulteration and all such crimes. We have to realise that public health has a great bearing on our future as a nation.
