People nowadays are too much into food that we come up with many different kinds of it

as time flies. We tend to eat anything that is presented to us, not thinking about our own
nutrition. People these days are like scientists who make it a hobby to make an
experiment on foods. Some dont mind on what food they take in to their body as long
as it satisfies their taste buds. This increases the risk for food poisoning in the society,
not to mention the poorly managed food businesses that operate worldwide.
