Article 13

My Reaction:
According to James Meikle’s article” Food firms urged to make sources clearer”, it was said that all kinds of products should be stated clearly what ingredients of them and even where the products were produced should be told. Food companies and supermarkets must be more honest about where their food comes from, said Hilary Benn, the environment secretary. The expert also held a conference to discuss whether products were affected and demonstrated by labeling because the dioxins in pork revealed last month. Nowadays, people cared much about their health and they were thinking more about the quality, nutritional value and environmental impact of the food they ate. We could a detailed survey of house when you buy it; you could know the service history when you buy a car. Therefore, why couldn’t we know about what we were putting in our bodies? I think we consumers do have rights to know about it. If products are labeled clearly, it would increase the will of consumers to buy them. In addition, it is said that farmers should produce more homegrown fruit and vegetables. It can not only promote domestic agriculture industry but also is a method to protect the environment. This is a combination of buying products and environment protecting; therefore, I think everyone should do his best for we all live in the same world.
