How to solve the issue of the milk products problem in HK?
The growing number of babies suffering from kidney stone in mainland china and Hong Kong has been a cause of concern, especially the parents. They argue that the government should take up the major responsibility. On the other hand, the government argues that it is the companies’ responsibility rather than government’s. However, we should concern on how to tackle the problem caused by toxic milk rather than to argue the responsibility. In this essay, we will talk about the main problems of the toxic milk are the low morality of the businessman and the impact on babies health. Next, we will also give some suggestions to tackle it.
The moral standard of businessman in mainland china is too low. In china, the businessman places the profit as the uttermost goal of doing business. In doing so, they will try many means to gain more by reducing the operating cost. For food industry, the company would like to exploit the labor and farmers. Also, they corrupt the government officer in order to quicken the application of the license. The poorest method is to add the chemical into the food. In this case, the businessman would like to use the least milk to produce the most milk powder. They add the water into the milk. The milk is diluted. Therefore, they add the chemical melamine to maintain the protein at an acceptable level. However, the baby cannot obtain too much melamine every day. Finally, the babies get a kidney stone. It shows that the businessman overlook the babies’ live.
This is the main food to affect HK babies’ health. As the only food for baby is milk, their parent can only use milk powder to make the milk. Some may say that human milk is good for babies. It is true that the human milk is much more suitable than the cow milk. However, in Hong Kong, many mothers will go to work after they have a baby. They will not offer enough human milk for the baby. Eventually, mothers consume poisoning milk powder for their babies. The babies have no choice.
To encounter these problems, the government should encourage the parents to feed soy milk instead of milk to babies. Soy milk has the similar nutrition to cow's milk. It has about the same amount of protein as cow's milk. The soy milk contain vitamin E. It helps the baby to have a better development for the brain. It is safe for people milk allergy. In china, the starbucks try to use the soy milk to replace the cow milk or milk powder as the new ingredient of the coffee. So, the Chinese government should provide grants to the family.
For those businessmen without ethic, ask them to drink the milk that they produced. A traditional Chinese saying goes, "What I don’t want, I will not give others to try". To improve the businessmen’s ethic standard, they should use their products until they know what the victims feel. Although this method is a little bit inhuman, it can state out that the Chinese government highly concern about the serious problem of poisoning food. This can figure out a clear picture to the world that the Chinese government will stop the spread of poisoning food around the world.
To sum up, the poisoning milk in china causes a great concern. It affects the babies’ health all over the world. It indicates that the businessmen in China have poor moral. To solve this problem, the Chinese government should promote drinking the soy milk. Also, use the inhuman rule to correct the business ethic in China.
