Expressing Opinion..........by Amber

Expressing Opinion
Farmers shouldn’t use the chemical ractopamine on pork for three seasons.
Firstly, it’s harmful for human’s body. According to the Taipei Times, using the chemical will give people some symptoms such as racing heartbeat, dizziness, and headache, there is even one patient who has died.
Secondly, Taiwanese people have different diet habits than people from other countries. We eat animal’s internal organs, which might contain traces of the chemical, so it’s dangerous for Taiwanese people. I n my opinion, we should pay more attention to what we eat.
Lastly, I think using the ractopamine is against the natural rules. Human beings always do something for their benefits, but they don’t think about the natural rules. If we use the chemical on cattle, they will be changed. Nobody knows what will happen in the future. Maybe not only cattle, but human’s genes will also be transformed. What a big calamity that will be! I think we can’t fight with nature and we should follow the natural rules.
In conclusion, because of the three reasons discussed above, farmers shouldn’t use the chemical ractopamine on pork.
