The World of Food

There is literally nothing new in the world of food. All I can tell you is what has already been discovered years and years ago. New food is discovered every weeks. New plants, new animals, new poisons, new species, new everything. But what does this have to do with food? How does discovering a new animal deal with food ilnesses? It has ALOT to do with food illnesses. Scientists use all of their new discoveries to try and thwart food illnesses. Many people think that food illnesses are very rare and probably won't happen to them, but as my last post stated, everyone is infected by food. There are ways of preserving food as to keep germs off of them. There are certain harmless chemicals that are used to clean the food before it is distributed, but what has failed to be invented is a chemical that will permanently keep germs off of food.

The world could be up to 50% less sick if food didn't carry germs like it does. Scientists have been working for years trying to invent some type of germ pesticide that would keep germs completely off the food that was sprayed with it, but the pesticide also has to have no flavor and no effect on the people. Now that is hard. Scientist are still working on a pesticide to keep bugs off of plants without making the plant inedible. The right type of hand sanitizer still hasn't been invented to kill all germs and to create a germ shield to protect our hands from grabbing germs. Many think that it is impossible to find a remedy of that sort because germs are literally everywhere, but there are many who are still trying.

What the scientists are actually doing is taking mulitple pesticides and putting them together. They are taking pesticides that have either hurt and helped or didn't hurt and didn't help and they are mixing them together, hoping that somehow the hurt will vanish. Scientists you fluids from plants and the fluids of animal skin to try and help these remedies along. Every time a new plant, animal, or insect is discovered, the chances of practically riding the world completely of food illnesses increases.

If there were no food illnesses, the world's population of sick people would decrease 50 - 65%. There would be people who could go their whole lives without even getting the common cold once! The world could be practically disease free if food germs were eliminated.
