Why was there no concern about dirty food during the subsidy period?
(Baonghean.vn) - Life is getting more and more prosperous but the worry about dirty food is increasing. In the past, we were only self-sufficient so we never had to worry about dirty food. So, why did Vietnamese people rarely worry about dirty food during the subsidy period?
1. Human consciousness
![]() | ![]() |
During the subsidy period, producers, processors, and traders of food and foodstuffs almost did not have the mindset of profiteering at all costs. Nowadays, when the market mechanism is formed, the blindness of progress makes people disregard public health to make illegal profits from dirty food. |
2. Production method
![]() | ![]() |
A popular way of producing food during the subsidy period was small-scale self-sufficiency in the form of increased production. Products were made primarily to serve oneself and one's family, and surpluses were brought to the market to sell, so there was no reason to make dirty food. In a market economy, industrial-style production facilities became more and more popular, and product quality management became more complicated. Many facilities took advantage of legal loopholes to bring poor quality products to the market. |
3. Use of chemicals
![]() | ![]() |
During the subsidy period, preservatives, additives, growth promoters... were completely foreign in the food production and processing industry. Nowadays, the widespread use of the above mentioned chemicals poses many potential risks to food hygiene and safety for consumers. |
4. Consumer culture
![]() | ![]() |
During the subsidy period, having food to eat was good, there was little overproduction, leaving food leftover or spoiled. Nowadays, the story of leftover or spoiled food being smuggled into the market in large quantities has become common, with many incidents that horrify people. |
5. Environmental conditions
![]() | ![]() |
During the subsidy period, the quality of air, water and soil was still good. Nowadays, the quality of air and water in many places is seriously polluted. The situation of agricultural land degradation, requiring the use of many types of chemical fertilizers to grow crops is becoming more and more common. These factors also affect the quality of food to some extent. |
