Is America’s Food Supply Safe Essay? 

             In Dr. Acheson’s passage “Is America’s Food Supply Safe?” It appears to be that aside from reminding readers about the F.D.A’s (Food and Drug Administration) hand in preventing dangerous threats to agriculture that could be a threat to consumers, it largely directs its focus on the preservation of food production and the consumer’s health /wellbeing. The passage continually reminds the consumer about the F.D.A. and their responsibilities as an administration. The passage also makes effort to reassure the readers that the food that is produced will not be distributed to the general public unless it is F.D.A approved. 

          The title of the passage foreshadows the theme of the passage itself, since the topics that are also discussed such as: The F.D.A.’s position in the agriculture industry, stopping any kinds of bacterial, viral or chemically tampered foods that could be a danger to any consumers’ wellbeing. The main Idea of Acheson’s passage is to get readers/consumers to be aware of the foods that are approved as well as safe guarding their wellbeing. Readers are reminded that consumers don’t only have to rely on what they purchase to eat. Acheson informs readers that some of the ways to avoid food hazards is to also “cook food to appropriate temperatures, keeping it reserved, properly handling raw meat” etc. This allows consumers to not only gain knowledge about what organization allows distribution of the various food products, but also informs readers of the responsibilities/actions required to safe guard their health/wellbeing. 

     Acheson cautiously reminds the readers about all the possible dangers that come with the food products that consumers buy on a daily basis. One could assume that with a line like “E.Coli in spinach, Salmonella in peanut butter” is enough of a self-conscience push for consumers to be mindful as well as divert their approach to the very food products that they purchase. This in that case, helps consumers to formulate better alternatives of healthy food products that are F.D.A approved. Whether the products will be judged based on natural facts, daily value percentage and expiration dates, it’s safe to say that consumers will be less at risk of health endangerment. 

   The passage also adds that the F.D.A ensures that if something slips under their radar , that they immediately take action on the situation so that whatever potentially unapproved product is released, that it would be dealt with and eradicated immediately before things go out of hand. This gives readers some reassurance about what they purchase but reminds them to be mindful about what they purchase. The passage constantly warns readers about the dangers of unsafe foods so that they could avoid dangerous results. 

   Acheson’s passage states over all the importance of the F.D.A. Also stating the responsibilities of the F.D.A. Along with informing consumers of the dangers of foods that are not approved by them. As well as the risks. Providing consumers the basic knowledge of how they themselves should handle food as well as ensuring their health. These all culminate all the elements of acherson’s passage.
