The Disaster Between Our Ears

The Disaster Between Our Ears


A research that has done(ww. and gr.) discovered that there is a connection between food and behavior. The question that is asked is whether food manufacturers should be held responsible for producing healthier food or the people are(wo) responsible to check what they eat. In my opinion, the responsibility is mainly on the food manufacturers.



First, food manufacturers sometimes mislead people with wrong information in order to sell their products. For example, they call many of their products "Diet" and claim that those products are healthier than others. However, they aren't. In that way, people can mistakenly buy unhealthy food and consume it. In addition to it, some food manufacturers add harmful ingredients to their products because they want people to consume it more. Unfortunately, after lab checks all those findings are revealed and the damage has already been done. Therefore, food manufacturers should be forbidden to use those ingredients. They should use only healthy ones.



Second, food manufacturers have to warn us if their products contain harmful ingredients as tobacco companies do. As I see it, there should be a law that obliges manufacturers to write clearly all the ingredients they use so that we will know what we eat. As it is today, many companies use all kinds of codes to hide their ingredients(phr.). As a result, a simple person can not understand what he eats.

In the light of the above, I strongly believe, that food manufacturers are responsible to advertise clearly the ingredients they use. If people know what they consume, they are more likely to consume it wisely.


Very well written, Noa.
