Health in jeopardy

We all know 'health is wealth,' but in our country the proverb gets more accurate when I say “wealth is health.” Well, that is the motto of most of the shopkeepers. According to a report by The Daily Star, 90% food items contain adulterants. As a citizen I have the right to have fresh food but who cares? Chocolate, kids' favourite, is also not free from textile dyes. We don't even get fresh vegetables to eat which is very important for our health. We, the kids, the future leaders of Bangladesh, are hugely affected by food adulteration and so I think the government should take strong initiatives if they don't want the next generation to be a burden on the country! I urge all my fellow brothers and sisters, please plant vegetables on your rooftop because this is the best way to avoid adulterants.
