World
Health Day is celebrated on 7th April every year to mark the anniversary of the
founding of WHO – World Health Organization, in 1948. Each year a theme is
selected that highlights a priority area of public health. The Day provides an
opportunity for individuals in every community to get involved in activities
that can lead to better health. The topic for 2015 is Food Safety.
Food
Safety has become a priority because of food-borne illnesses and slow poisoning
by unsafe foods. And this topic of Food Safety is most important to India
because it is the most neglected one in our country. Our vegetables and fruits are
contaminated with fertilizers and pesticides and treated with chemicals for
ripening and brighter appearance. Our Non-vegetarian products are carelessly
handled. Our water and even milk is contaminated. Road side eateries amidst
dust, dirt and insects, with shabby cooks and unhygienic ingredients can be
found all over the country. These unsafe practices go unchecked. All this
should end.
As
in many other countries, India should make this slogan come true: “From farm to
plate, make food safe.”
