One day, a poor man, who had only one piece of bread to eat, was walking past a restaurant. There was a large pot of soup on the table. The poor man held his bread over the soup, so the steam from the soup went into the bread, and gave it a good smell. Then he ate the bread.
The restaurant owner was very angry at this, and he asked the man for money, in exchange for the steam from the soup. The poor man had no money, so the restaurant owner took him to Mr. Big, who was a judge at that time. Mr. Big thought about the case for a little while.
Then he took some money from his pocket. He held the coins next to the restaurant owner's ear, and shook them, so that they made a jingling noise.
"What was that?" asked the restaurant owner.
"That was payment for you," answered Mr. Big.
"What do you mean? That was just the sound of coins!" protested the restaurant owner.
"The sound of the coins is payment for the smell of the soup," answered Mr. Big. "Now go back to your restaurant."

Use of Formalin and Other Additives in Food
The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious problem for three reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservatives, it will be very dangerous to humans’ body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition makes the people’s health in a treat. When the control is weak and the use of formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizens’ bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and animal corpses ?
The third is that the difficult economy seems not to end. This can make the situation worse. We all know that today’s economy is very difficult. People buy daily products and fulfill their needs with high costs. Things are getting more and more expensive. Consequently, the food production cost increases. For example, the preservation process for fish will be much cheaper if the producers use formalin. They know the danger of formalin, but they don’t care about the other’s health. What is in their mind is only how to get profit.
Considering the reason, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.
