Food hygiene at home and abroad

The presenters of these programmes would, I am sure, walk out of an hotel or restaurant in this country, and report them to the health and safety if they were allowed to prepare food in the same way.

In the exotic countries that are visited, they seem to make a point of showing
visitors crowding around a table laden with all sorts of wonderful
fruits, vegetables and meats.

The meat could be anything from cow to rat or dog in some of these countries, and yet people are willing to pay to eat them just so that they can tell their friends when they come home what a
fantastic time theyve had eating these different things.

These same people are usually the ones who check the sell- and eat-by dates in supermarkets before buying anything when they do their weekly shopping.

If they are ill, its what theyve eaten at home that gets the blame, not what they had to eat in India, or Thailand a few weeks ago.

Next time there is a holiday programme, dont just look at the sights visited but take a closer look at the food.

There is nothing wrong in the way thing are done in these
countries,b ut farmers in this country have so many rules and regulations
to keep up with that its driving them out of the business.

Abroad you see them selling, killing, plucking, cooking and eating chickens on the sides of roads an open markets with flies hovering around.

The locals dont fall ill because thats the way theyve always lived, but with all the health regulations in this country, everything is too clean, so we dont have any resistance to any bugs which might be in the food.
