A Dialogue Between Two Friends on Food Adulteration

Raha: Hello Zarif! How are you?

Nitu: I’m fine. What about you?

Raha: I’m fine too. Have you seen the recent raid of mobile courts on food production houses?

Nitu: Yes, I think the mobile court is doing the right task to stop food adulteration.

Raha: Exactly! The adulteration of food is increasing beyond any limit. They are using chemicals to preserve food.

Nitu: Yes, and these chemicals are mainly used for industrial purposes. These chemicals can cause kidney damage, heart failure, and various other diseases.

Raha: Yes, and it seems to me that the unscrupulous traders of our country don’t care even to kill innocent people to earn extra profit.

Nitu: You’re right. However, this is not the only case of food adulteration of adult people. They are also mixing chemicals with baby foods.

Raha: Oh, my God! I see the situation is very terrible! They have become so heartless that they don’t even care about babies.

Nitu: Yes, nowadays fishes are adulterated with formalin, fruits are adulterated with carbide, and edible oils are adulterated with cyanide.

Raha: But why these traders are adopting such malpractices in spite of knowing the worst consequences of massive food adulteration?

Nitu: It’s very simple. They are dishonest and they can do everything for money.

Raha: They are very nasty and they have no moral character. They are enemies to humanity. However, this crime must be stopped at any cost.

Nitu: And we’re helpless at the point of their clutch.

Raha: You’re mostly right. Our government is taking steps time to time but they are producing no result. Isn’t there any light of hope?

Nitu: Yes, there is. It is we who should be careful to choosing right foods as far as possible. The criminals have to be punished by law.

Raha: Your valuable words may make me wise.

Nitu: Absolutely! You’re most welcome. See you again.
