Adulterated foods


Urea is very harmful when consumed directly. Formalin, a toxic chemical (used for preserving dead bodies) is used to make stale fish look fresh which can cause serious health hazards to humans. Fruits are sprayed with calcium carbide to prematurely ripen them. Foods in restaurants are often made with used oil which is toxic. What can we eat that doesn't have poison in it?

The government should be tough on this issue.
