Food processing is not done scientifically in our country. We prepare foods in our house and those are safe for our health but we think that foods bought from the markets are also good and safe. That is wrong. Because food producers are not using good raw materials. They use toxic chemicals in foods.

If they need fruits they will use rotten or half-rotten fruits. Fruit sellers also use chemicals in fruits. Restaurants and bakeries prepare their foods in unhygienic places. For example, some icecream manufacturers use dirty water to make icecream. Bottled mineral water is also not safe.

The authorities concerned should look into the matter.
