答案

Food safety has been cited amply in recent press accounts. Although people today have more food choices than those in the past, from my perspective, it does not necessarily mean that the food we eat today is healthier than the food we eat in the past. First of all, food industry is increasingly commercialized and businessmen do not really care about the food quality when they are devoted to make profits. What makes it worse is that some mercenary food producers adulterate foods without informing the buyers. For example, the notorious melamine incident poisoned quite a few innocent children, which made the society bristle with anger. In addition, the pace of life has been accelerated, and most people eat fast food for saving time, and this choice is harmful to health in a long run. Especially for the young people who are struggling in big cities full of tension every day, a reasonable breakfast seems a luxury to them. Although having fast food saves their time, over time, the bad eating habits will eventually do harm to their health. Last but not least, there is a wide variety of food choice in contemporary world, and people have easy access to high-fat or high-calorie food which results in obesity. Most obviously, many people now are so bewildered by the overwhelming advertisement of food that they cannot tell between the healthy food and the junk food. As a result, many of them are suffering various health problems due to their intemperance in their diets. In conclusion, it is true that the recipe becomes more scientific and healthy today but for the apparent reasons discussed above, the food we eat today is unhealthier than those we eat in the past.
