Entry#1: Is America's Food Supply Safe?



         Eating fast food instead of eating healthy meal is now very normal to the Americans. Fast food is fast, easy and mostly safe to eat. People who work for the Food and Drug Administration help our community to ensure the safety of fast food. As the article " Is American's Food Supply Safe?" mentions, the F.D.A.set many offices around the country. And, trying their best to solve incoming problems and prevent potential risks. They are also working at the country border to keep unsafe food outside of the America, teaching our people how to store food in a safe way.
         It is very important to have the F.D.A. working for us and protect most of our people from eating unsafe food. However, the book "Fast Food Nation" illustrates a mistake of the fast food system. The mistake caused a young mom to loose her little son. The son was died in few days after he ate a burger. Which the hospital find out that there were harmful E. coli in the burger he ate. E. Coli is a type of bacteria that could risk the life of people who have a weak immune system. It's a very sad fact the really happened and it shows that the F.D.A. doesn't work well all the time. But still, after they find out the problem, they make the meat company to call back the problem products as much as they could from the entire country. And finally end the disaster.
         Even though the F.D.A. is not as perfect as it should be, but we have to have it and we definitely need it. Since there could be many more cases happening in the country if there is F.D.A. in the community.
