This article is about the milk scare that has made its way to India, killing 5 and hospitalizing another 25 children. So what's the deal with this contaminated milk? It has affected 53,000 infants in China and now it it s to have spread. Investigators have found that some milk vendors, in order to boost their supplies, have diluted the milk to increase the volume of their "milk" and added a chemicals, melamine, to make the milk seem higher in protein content. Melamine is used in the manufacturing of plastics and fertilizer -- not to be put into milk and definitely not to be consumed.
If you look in your nearby grocery store, how many items can you point out that might contain any traces of milk? Ice cream, cheese, snacks, candy, chocolate, pudding, cereal, biscuits, cake, cookies, beverages, and of course, infant milk formula. We rely so heavily on milk, and even more so for the infants who only drink the milk formula.
Countries like the US have blocked any imports of milk containing products from China to protect their citizens from the contamination of the goods sold in their markets. This article just points out that we need to be more careful on guarding the food that our people consume. It doesn't matter if companies earn more from selling these contaminated foods. In the end, people will become paranoid after they read about how many people have died or been hospitalized, and avoid buying any products containing milk.
I don't think there is much to be biased about in this article. The writer is simply telling the people to be more careful with the stuff they eat or drink, although this might have a significant effect on the people. When we hear about these problems going on in India or China, we tend to avoid buying products from there. There also might be less people going to those places at these times and that might have some effect on those countries. That's just the way people are.
