答案

参考答案:

In the first picture, a beaming shop assistant is luring customers of different ages with foods branded as "quality products" while in the second picture, the customers, after consumption of the foods, are forced to visit their doctors because of possible diseases such as diarrhea.

The artist who creates these pictures intends to draw our attention to the serious social issues of food safety which has resulted in nationwide discussions after such well-publicized scandals as the Poisonous Milk Power. Early last year, some famous milk powder manufacturers in China put melamine intended only for industrial purposes in their products, causing the deaths or illnesses of hundreds of children around the nation.

The milk powder scandal, however, is only the tip of an iceberg with regard to poor quality food in the whole food manufacturing industry. In order to reverse the situation and restore people’s confidence and trust in the government, legislative measures should first be taken to severely punish those who dare to venture consumers’ health for their profits. In addition, strict food quality inspection protocols should be established to prevent substandard food products from reaching the customers. This way, hopefully, we may start eating manufactured food without fearing being hospitalized afterwards.
