Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Outbreak Reignites Concerns over Food Safety
.
Summary:
Foodborne illness outbreaks occur rather frequently in this day and age. The recent Wuhan novel coronavirus outbreak has once again alerted us to the dangers posed by our broken food system, especially when it comes to meat production.
.
Today, around the globe, meat, eggs, and dairy are mainly produced in factory farms. These establishments are notorious for confining animals in extremely crowded conditions. Not only are the animals severely restricted in their movement, but they are also given a wide range of animal drugs and inflicted with cruel physical alterations to reduce their chances of getting sick or injured.
.
Heavy reliance on animal drugs, however, can create food safety threats from resistant bacteria and drug residues, greatly increasing the risk of widespread foodborne illness outbreaks. In the past few years, a number of devastating E. coli outbreaks have been attributed to manure runoff from factory farms.
.
In the long term, for the sake of public health and animal welfare, we must crack down on factory farming and replace it with a sustainable and humane system. How can individuals help to achieve this goal? Simple! Eat as little meat as possible. Remember that every bite you take is a vote.
.
Language Enhancement:
crack down (ph.) (取締)
crack down 是短語動詞，即是「取締」或「制裁」的意思，是十分强烈的字眼，後接介詞 on。它的名詞版本是 crackdown「鎮壓」。
e.g. The ICAC was established in 1974 to crack down on corruption.
e.g. The school is having a crackdown on cheating. —————————————————

cruel名詞 在 Goodbye HK, Hello UK Facebook 的精選貼文
《The Washington Post》狠狠批評「曱甴論」
‘Dogs’ vs. ‘cockroaches’: On Hong Kong streets, language of genocide rears its head
「狗」與「曱甴」：香港街頭語言背後的種族滅絶概念
只係望一望個標題，可能會覺得係每邊打三十大板嘅文章，其實細心諗就明白整個評論針對嘅係咩人。狗係指邊個，曱甴又指咩？近代歷史上，邊個非人化名詞引發種族屠殺？無錯喇，呢個就係全編嘢嘅重點，亦係英文曲線鬧人好例子（至於鬧咩人就大家自己諗）。推到國際嘅嘢，Junior Police Officers’ Association（直譯應該係「香港初級警察協會」）嘅「曱甴論」聲明，加上高級警員及公共關係嘅科嘅回應當然唔少得，當然會引述學者同專家去幫手加多腳。
評論一開始就用網絡瘋傳嘅防暴警察大叫「你地連畜牲都不如呀」同「記住呀！你地唔係人黎㗎，係曱甴呀」然後發射催淚彈，講解詆毀語言（derogatory language）已經成為香港示威嘅一個特徵（係有好「中立」咁提過一句「警狗」嘅）。講解下香港示威嘅近況之後（星期六拉咗三百人，星期日咬甩耳仔），評論就話响咁惡劣嘅局面，警察用啲非人化名詞（dehumanizing language）就係對市民無差別咁使用暴力嘅先兆。
//The use of “cockroach” — a slur used by the Nazis against Jews and by Hutus against Tutsis in the Rwandan genocide — often provides the rationale for harsh and cruel treatment against a group of people and serves to further polarize society, these experts say, especially when used by state actors.//
（「曱甴」- 係當年納粹黨對猶太人同胡圖族人對圖西族人種族屠殺嘅詆毀詞彙 - 係使用殘酷手段嘅根本籍口，而對建制者黎講，就係深化社會分裂嘅工具。）
//“This sort of derogatory language can lead to a deeper kind of genuine dehumanization, You call people cockroaches a lot, you start thinking that they are subhuman.”...these terms were used in Nazi Germany and in Rwanda long before the atrocities there reached their zenith.//
（呢類咁嘅詆毀語言係會深化真正嘅非人化，當你經常話人係「曱甴」，就會好自然咁將對方非人化。呢啲形容詞係响納粹德國同盧旺達嘅殘暴行為，去到極致之前好耐就開始出現。）
結論係：
//“But when you have a government that is not elected, when it rules by other means, they feel less restricted, they are not accountable to anybody.”//
（如果一個政府唔係民選產生嘅話，而且係用其它手段去管治，佢地自然唔會節制（自己嘅言論），因為根本唔需要問責。）
