Can't we have poison-free fruits?
Summer is around the corner. We call it the season of fruits because a generous variety of fruits are available in this season. But nowadays fruits are no more safe. Farmers inject and spray chemicals to enlarge the fruits' size and make the colours look shiny. They often use hormones to ripen the fruits, and formalin to prevent it from being rotten. We may suffer from various fatal diseases by eating these toxic fruits. Such poisonous fruits can create cancer and damage any internal organ of human body.
This is happening every year but we see very little action from the government to stop this. Can't we expect to have poison-free fruits in this country?
