Food Safety Policy

The FDA decided that we did not need any laws on genetically-made products. Genetically modified foods are commonly used to enhance the size, shape, and nutritional value of crops. We are consuming these foods, thinking that it is healthy for us. However, we do not know the true effects of our daily consumptions. It may cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. This makes it impossible for our bodies to fight germs and bacteria.

It is not right for the FDA to allow food to be sold without testing if they have any harmful effects on humans. This is wrong because we are consuming these products without knowing how it would affect us. If I were to create a food safety policy, I would make the FDA test these products to see if they are actually good for us. The tests would ensure that the product is safe to be sold in markets. The FDA would be fined half of their profit if they do not perform the tests. But if they follow the policy, they would not be fined and the company would not be suspended.

Fruits and vegetables are a vital source for our energy and maintaining balance. They are not natural when they're enlarged or tampered with. In addition, the use of pesticides causes harmful effects to health. Although endotoxins have been in use recently, they can still cause allergic reactions to people. They manipulate the food so that it's only harmful to insects. It would be best to find other possible solutions to store food so that pesticides and/or endotoxins would not be used. It is important to take care of our food sources because the future of food is in our hands.
