Chemicals in foods!

The government shouldn't let this criminal activity of poisoning foods go on unabated and with impunity. It is the most horrible crime against humanity. It is incumbent on the government to act swiftly and save the nation. Legal safeguards must be in place to protect the citizens from the deadly fruits. Steps should be taken by deploying special forces, installing devices, to check the items sold and bring transparency so that consumers cannot be cheated and will have full and clear information about the items they purchase. Stern and exemplary punishments should be meted out to the culprits. The government should not take this lightly for the consequences are well known, and especially for the younger generation it can have horrifying implications. It should be stopped now and at any cost as the effect is far-reaching and irreversible. It is a scary scenario. Not that we didn't know about it but with every passing day it is sinking in deeper and deeper. It is also taking on serious proportions. It is getting more and more alarming as days go by. The insecurity among us is even more because the authorities are not doing enough and not taking concrete steps to stem this evil practice. A sense of hopelessness prevails.
