The safety of the food:

Do you worry about the safety of the food you eat?

Of course I worry about the safety of the food I eat for I am in an amazing country which is called China. I worry about the safety of the meat, fruit, vegetable, water, even Chinese herbs. I only drink boiled water because tap water is not suitable for drink.

The chickens, pigs, fish are sometimes raised with hormones mixed in with the food.

I feel the need to peel out the skin of apples before I eat them because there could be pesticide residues left on those skins; the same is true about tomatoes, [peers]?, grapes, etc. And talking about takeaway food, you will not want to have a look at the kitchen where the food is made.

Due to the fact that a lot of farm land and rivers are polluted, I can’t help worrying about the safety of the food. Every time I complain about the safety of the food, my friends will say, ‘what to do? We can not escape. If we don’t eat, we will die faster.’
