Melamine, the cause for deaths and illness for babies in China.

Since 17th September to now, 3 babies have died and more than 6000 babies have fallen ill in China. Because of this, China have promised to do a thorough check of every dairy producer across the country. 2 out of 22 companies are found to have the contents of Melamine in their milk powder.

Melamine, an industrial chemical normally used to make plastics and glue appear to have be founded in the products. I feel that it is against moral values for any such chemical to appear in milk powder or if in any other cases, food product. This is not the first time that such incidents have happened in China. Some other examples of such incidents are, Melamine being found in pet food products that killed cats and dogs last year. Fishes that were contaminated with banned drugs, cough syrup made with poisonous chemicals and dumplings laced with pesticide were also being sold overseas.

This is a serious issue as it is concerning the lives of many innocent people. Personally, i feel that it is not fair to put other peoples lives at stake just for the cause of earning cash. The reason being the effects and problems that it bring is vast and may be uncontrollable at times if it is being spread world wide. Not only this being the reason, there is also a question concerning what others will think about the society itself. If they are able to put all these harmful substances in the food for people's consumption, that can cause the loss of life, then i think this statement says a lot about the society already.

But one thing still at least is that China is solving this issue. Although it has caused the loss of lives and illnesses among people, they are doing all they can to put a stop to this incident. Let's just wish that no such incidents will happen ever again.
