Expressing Opinion(by Flora)

Farmers shouldn't use the chemical ractopamine on pork for three reasons. First, ractopamine is harmful to human's body.Accroding to Taipei Times, pork wiyh ractopamine cause many symptoms such as racing heartbeat, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, headache, muscle cramp, vomiting, diarrhea, and high blood pressure. I think that Taiwanese eat pig's intestines so the symptoms will be more severe than other countries.Second, use the chemical ractopamine on pork will affect Taiwan's economy. In my view, if Taiwan does not ban ractopamine, it will cause many economic problems. When the U.S. pork come into Taiwan, many Taiwanese will buy the cheaper U.S. pork, and this will discriminate against the local pig farmers.Taiwan's restaurant will use the U.S.pork, and many Taiwanese will not eat out anymore. As a result, Taiwan's economy will go down very soon. Third, the ractopamine was banned before. I believe that Taiwan's government shouldn't be "U.S.-oriented." We shouldn't change our polices on banning ractopamine although the American pig farmers use ractopamine. In conclusion, because of the three reasons discussed above, farmers shouldn't use the chemical ractopamine on pork.
