| Healthy Food |
In today’s highly competitive food industry, attractiveness,
taste, economy and profitability are all special factors for a financial
success. Additives, preservatives and artificial flavoring can contribute for
the gain of the listed factors.
Nowadays, as a consumer we are all prompted to unsound nutrition claims for almost all kinds of media such as radio, newspapers, magazines and even high billboards across highways as well as other media commercials.
Come to think of it, most of the products that are advertised are processed foods. And if you take time to read the labels, you will noticed that most of them, if not all have some chemical additives or preservatives. While others, are synthetically produced. Even non-processed foods like fruits and vegetables are often treated with chemicals to preserve from spoilage.
Colas, chips, and even health drinks which according to some advertisers have “nutritive value”, do not even ft into the food group. It is because they are collectively called junk foods. Fruit shakes and crunchers enhanced by food coloring are also considered as junk foods.
There are also some bogus “health product” that is aid to boost energy, increase strength and endurance, and improve memories. But clearly, these are junk foods that mean to be regulated by the government.
So, is the food you’re eating right now is safe to eat?
