台灣食物安全嗎?
How Safe is Taiwan’s Food? by Tim Ferryon
Good eating has long been one of the joys of living in Taiwan, but a series of food-related scandals has left the public concerned about the safety and reliability of the food supply. Although the government has been taking action, the problem is not easy to resolve, given the large number of unregistered factories and food providers.
In the wake of a slew of shocking food-safety scandals over the past four years, Taiwan’s reputation as a gastronomic paradise is under threat. Beginning with plasticizer found in cold drinks, jams, and pastries, followed by tainted starch products and counterfeit olive oil made green with a chemical additive, and culminating in last year’s horrific waste-oil scandal that embroiled several of Taiwan’s most venerable firms, the series of incidents has crushed consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply. The brazen malfeasance of prominent players, especially Wei Ying-chun of the tycoon Wei brothers, not to mention the inadequacies exposed in the government regulatory system, outraged the public as much as the gory details of tannery waste and diseased animal corpses mixed into food oil.
The Legislative Yuan amended the law to impose steeper fines and tougher prison sentences for violators, and added the word Safety to the statute – now called the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation. Prosecutors indicted violators operating throughout the oils supply chain, and the perpetrators, including high-level executives, have either been sentenced to lengthy prison terms or remain in custody awaiting trial. And the Executive Yuan, for its part, has decided to add 70 new inspectors to the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) staff to improve the authorities’ ability to conduct meaningful monitoring.
Night market vendors Taiwan ensure food safety Night market vendors are demanding more documentation from their upstream vendors so they can assure customers of the safety of the food being offered.
But are these moves sufficient? Is Taiwan putting enough resources toward finally solving its food-related problems, and are those resources being put where they will be most effectively utilized? While most experts agree that progress has been made, many also say that much more needs to be done to satisfactorily ensure the safety of Taiwan’s food supply.

Powerful Things to Do for Yourself When
You’re Sick By Samuel Gentoku McCree tinybuddha
Reflect on the benefit of health.
Often illness brings into focus what we
wish we could be doing when we feel healthy.
Once, back when I was a pack-a-day smoker,
I got food poisoning, and I remember the smell or thought of cigarettes made me
feel so much worse. At that time I vowed not to smoke anymore. I felt the
frailty of my body and I didn’t want to live a life that hurt my body. I saw
how much I needed my body, how bad it felt to not be able to rely on it.
Unfortunately as soon as I felt better I
forgot what I knew when I was really sick. Being sick gives us the chance to
reflect on the value of health and what you want to do with your life energy
when you do feel better. People who are in hospitals only have time to sit
around and watch TV; is that what you want to do with your free time?
We only have so many hours and days of
health. How can we use each hour of our lives to benefit the people we love the
most?
Take time to do little things.
Write letters, reorganize your closet, or
read a book of poetry. We often take small simple tasks for granted. Their
simplicity can seem too easy for us when we are in the midst of a busy life,
but when we are sick they might be at just the right pace for us.
I tend to “veg” in front of the TV, but
reading that book I’ve been meaning to finish or writing an email to my sister
wouldn’t take much energy either.
Sickness makes us slow down, so it’s a
great time to do the simple things. We can use this change of pace to change
perspective.
Reflect on the frailty of life.
So let’s face it: We aren’t going to be
here forever. There is no way to avoid old age, sickness, and death. Our
willingness to acknowledge impermanence can either bring anxiety or help us
focus on what we want to do with our lives.
Being sick is a great time to reflect on
the meaning of our lives. Sickness can be a wake up call to remind us that we
aren’t made of Teflon. Alas, all sorts of stuff sticks to us in life and it’s
up to us what we want to work to let go of.
What principles do you want to adhere to in
life and what small things could you let slide? If you only had a year to live,
what would you do with the time you have left? If someone you care about got
sick, what would you want to say to that person? Why are you waiting?

you’re sick?

the most?
