Today is Sunday National Safe Food Day 2021. Bangladesh Safe Food Authority celebrates this day on February 2 each year. For the first time in the country, Safe Food Day is celebrated in the country. That year, February 2 was declared as National Safe Food Day as part of making people aware of safe food.
The main goal of celebrating National Safe Food Day is to ensure safe food to protect people's lives and health.

There is no alternative to ensuring safe food for everyone in public health protection. Excessive trans fat in foodstuffs is unsafe and is one of the causes of various types of non -communicable diseases, including heart disease. Bangladesh is on the list of the most vulnerable countries in Trans Fat -related heart disease. Although the government passed the 'Trans Fatty Acid Control Regulations, 2021' in foodstuffs, it has not yet started fully implementing it. It is important to implement the regulations quickly. Bangladesh Safe Food Authority (BFSA) works to secure food products to reach the consumer from production and preparation to consumer. The company gives the importance of public awareness to make food safe, but also fines.

The government is giving more importance to the public awareness than punishment. Officials say that if awareness is not created among the people, it will be difficult to prevent harmful and unhealthy food production by law enforcement.

There is no alternative to safe diet to survive healthy. But we are buying poison in the name of food every day with money. Every human being needs pure, safe and nutritious food for good health. Pure, safe and nutritious food is absolutely essential in the formation of a healthy and prosperous nation. All our needs are failed without good health. Want safe food, safe environment and economic security for good health. Healthy foods are healthy life or safe food, safe life, safe nation. But in our country, pure, safe and nutritious food has been difficult to get some conscienceless super -profit businessmen and traders. From production to marketing, food is being turned into insecure and poison at every step. The best restaurant in my surroundings
There are 5 million people in adulterated panic. Wealthy survival is our basic and constitutional right. To ensure that guarantee is the main function of a state. We are not for death, to live. Due to food insecurity, the amount of kidney, liver, cancer and heart disease is increasing at an unimaginable rate. Food keeps people's nutritional needs healthy and make people functioning. But what we are eating in the name of food, it is not food or poison! In fact, we are constantly buying poison with money in the name of food. Adulterated food is constantly pushing us in the face of death. We're getting sick. Sick people are a burden for family, society, nation and nation. The sick person has to spend extra time, money and thoughts behind. Was wasted at work hours. The lives of billions of people are threatened today as a result of adulterated food.

> The importance of safe food

Safe food is one of the most important means of nutrition and good health. We can maintain our physical ability by eating balanced diet. Moreover, unsafe food is considered to be the cause of health harassment as in our body.

According to data from the World Food Organization, about 1 million people in the world face food infection problems with food poisoning by consuming unsafe food. At least 120 people died of illness. In this illness, abdominal illness occurs the most. Due to lack of proper treatment at the right time, this huge amount of life is lost every year. However, it is described why safe food is important below.

* Protection from foodstuff illness
We have already learned that food illness can cause common abdominal pain to death. Which creates a serious health risk for us. Taking unsafe food causes various physical problems including diarrhea, hepatitis A, vomiting from food poisoning in various viruses, bacteria and parasites. The safe food system needs to be implemented to be safe from all these health risks. Otherwise, we will be infected with mortal diseases due to chemical and chemical fertilizer foods day after day.

* Reduces the cost of food security
To ensure food security of an organization is to spend a lot of money. If the food was safe from production, then this huge investment could have been used in another. That is, if the production of safe food is ensured, it would not be necessary to spend so much money in the public and private sectors in every case, which would have reduced the cost at all.

* Reduces food
Since weeds and viruses are not suitable for us to eat, it becomes a thunderbolt on a regular basis. In addition, unsafe food is inaccessible to eat very quickly. Although he can be stored in different ways in different ways, it is understood that they are not really suitable for us. However, if the production and marketing of safe food can be established scientifically, food thunderstorms will be greatly reduced.

> Bangladesh at high risk of long -term diseases in adulterated food

The spread of long -term diseases such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, liver problems, heart disease, nerve ineffective and high blood pressure cannot be prevented. As death is increasing in these diseases, many families are becoming helpless in treatment. Adulterated food is one of the major causes of long -term diseases. Poisoning heavy metals are being added to various stages from production to consumption. The Safe Food Authority, which is in charge of the food security, is still conducting various activities in the early stages.
According to various agencies and government data, 5 percent of the country's deaths are due to long -term or infectious diseases. Of these, one lakh people are being affected by cancer every year, and one lakh eight thousand are dying.

One out of every 1 in adults is a diabetes. Every year, kidney failure is 4,000 people, 5 percent of them die without dialysis or kidney additions. More than two lakh 3 thousand people die of heart and blood vessels.

The next step to ensure food for people is safe food. It is very important in countries like Bangladesh. Because people here are very high. Due to the damage to insulin ingredients in the food, the number of diabetic patients in the country is increasing day by day, the kidney is being damaged due to heavy metal.

Rice gives urea to whiten white. This urea is responsible for gastric-altar. We do not have a house where there is no gastric patient. Chemical use in banana or fruits is the use of chemicals to damage the liver of the people. Tomatoes are used in hormones, poultry feed bone powder, the heavy metals used there are harmful to our body. Because of this, numerous people suffer from long -term diseases.

There are 3 thousand 5 laws to ensure safe food in the country. Yet safe food was not guaranteed. A safe food could not be ensured by enforcing laws anywhere in the world. To secure food, each step of the food system (used materials and its use environment) should be secured at any cost. This requires awareness and responsible behavior of the partners in the food system. As the housewife needs awareness, there is a need to take responsible steps for a policy maker. For example, rice provides the majority of our main crop carbohydrate. Before giving any variety of rice to the partners, the quality of the fiber and glycemic value should be verified before its quality, especially until its latest transformation. Again, it is necessary to have social and legal coordination to ensure the safe use of pesticides used in crop production. The role of the media is very important. Even what will be the content of the advertisement on food, the appropriate authority should be obliged to approval. Food plays a role in the basic needs of the people and the formation of a healthy nation. We want to achieve the durable goals within 20 and to deal with the development of democratic gain by 20, which will create a healthy and nutritional sensitive, through which a healthy nation will develop. Here any kind of neglect or relaxation will bring great danger. We have already started to find it. We want to call food as food. I do not want to see any adjectives before food. The powerful and sustainable food system for the formation of a healthy and functioning nation is demanded by everyone.

> Safe food and nutrition
Safe diet refers to nutritious food. Below is a food that is called safe and nutritious.

* Amish
Calorie is needed to manage the human body. About 8-12% of our body's calories we get from the diet of Amish. Animals and vegetable sources such as fish, meat, milk, eggs, pulses, nuts, seeds, etc. are available. There is no alternative to food for the animal body.

* Sugar
Sugar provides energy to our bodies. Every day 3-5% of our total calorie comes from sugars. Usually the main sources of sugar are important in potatoes, chir, radish, rice, pasta, noodles etc. Of them, wheat flour, autos and red rice provide the most sugars. Because of this, those who regularly eat bread are more physical than other people.

* Vitamin
Vitamins and minerals control our body's immune system. In addition, the cells in the body work active and decorated. Greens and fruits are the best sources of vitamins and mineral salts, although vitamins and minerals are available from other foods, the main supplier of vegetables and fruits.

* Fat food
Fat is both good and bad for our body. Because excess fat has an adverse effect on our body, which is one of the obesity, high blood pressure, fat. However, 20-20% of the total calories in the body come from healthy fat foods. Ghee, oil (olive, mustard, nuts, sunflower), butter, etc. are important among the foods of beneficial fat. Fat protects the balance of our body's nutritional value.

* Water
We know the other name of water is life. In fact, the other name of pure water is life because the human body contains 5% water. Water is very important for the body's normal activity. In addition to keeping the various organs of the body, it is important to drink enough water to keep the cells fresh. Arsenic and bacterial free water serves as energy conservation for the human body.

* Dairy product
Calcium and phosphorus are one of the other nutrients in the human body. They are found in large quantities in milk, yogurt, ghee, cheese and leaf. These nutrients keep the body healthy and normal by strengthening the bones of the human body as well as increasing immunity. On the other hand, dairy foods help to meet the needs of the body.

We need to raise awareness from the marginal level on safe food. Otherwise, people will unknowingly mix their own food and eat themselves. It will take place at one time extreme health disaster.

Finally, I would like to say that in order to get safe and nutritious food in the country, there is no alternative to the government's initiatives and rules as well as raising public awareness. And most of the people in this country have ignorance and ignorance of nutrition. Not if the food of the foodies is not appealing. Also changing eating habits is an important factor. In order to eliminate these obstacles, the organic farmers create the organic farmers and the seminar campaigns and media campaigns should be raised to raise the campaign in the grassroots people to achieve the basic idea of nutritional food among the grassroots peopleAt the same time, if the private companies and entrepreneurs come forward in this work, Bangladesh will one day gain safe food and nutrition.
Let us be aware of the food to keep food safe and make others aware.
