Expressing Opinions (by Dennis)

Farmers shouldn't use the chemical ractopamine on pork for three reasons. First of all, in my view, the government should protect their people from health damge. If our government allows imported American pork with ractopamine, they just concern about American politicians and forget about their people. Second , everyone knows that many cattle farmers are greedy. If they can use chemicals to make their merchandises better, they will abandon their consciense and inject or feed their cattle with ractopamine. According to Taipei Times, the main reason why they use chemicals is that consumers can't distinguish poisoned pork and natural pork.Third, administrators of agriculture always mis-detect meats with chemicals. We can always read some news about how some poisoned meat slip into restaurants and markets. If our government doesn't ban ractopamine, we always take risks when eating poisoned pork or beef. In summary, because of the three reasons discussed above, farmers shouldn't use the chemical ractopamine in pork.
