Food safety seems to not only be a China issue, but a global one. I believe since China is heavily populated it seems to be more prevalent there. However, the main issue is the cutting of costs for businesses. These cutting cost methods come at a cost of consumers health and safety. The article states that even though this has been a known problem it seems as if there still has yet to be a solution or even an attempt to find a solution. The case of the Sanlu milk is heartbreaking. So many children were affected and that outbreak alone should've caused major concern amongst the government and food regulations. The social inequalities seem to always be in existence even in a Communist country. The fact that the wealthy have less concern over the toxic foods since they have better access to cleaner and safer foods is a huge moral problem in my opinion. I hope the elite will have the heart to speak up and demand that the government implement better food policies and regulations for all.
