There Is No Gold at The End of The Rainbow
No one cannot live without money, that is why parents
nowadays really have a high passion in their jobs. They will try their best ro
gain lot of money everyday, neglecting their children. Children, especially in elementary
grade, are the fragile figures who needs parents affection and attention
because they cannot decide what is good for them. But parents would take them
easy, only give them pocket money and let them buy anything without parent’s
control. It is really dangerous because in school children do not always learn
a good thing, but sometimes it could be a bad habit they get. The bad habit
to chose dangerous food they consume. Children love colorful tasty foods in
font of their school which are very dangerous.
Otak otak, fried tofu, yellow
noodle, meatball, es syrup, and cilok with red sauce. This kind of foods is
very easy to be found in front of elementary gate. The sellers need not store
or tend, they sell this food on their motorcycle, gerobak or even only on mat. Their loyal
consume is starving children which spend their energy for their brain at school.
They offer tasty and colorful foods for their consumers.
Children cannot resist the tempting invitation from this tasty but
poisoned foods. Children spends their ¾ days at school, but their pocket
money is only Rp 2000 – 5000 in a day. Only 5% from them which bring home-made
food, and the rest lay their stomach in school’s food. While the vendors dare to
offer low price for their foods, children able to full their stomach by Rp 1000
foods. This economic nature give benefit for both of vendors and children.
And the second reason why school’s food became favorite for children is because
children’s eyes are interesting in shocking color.
Research found there are 25%-50% Salmonella
Parayphi type A in ice syrup. Otak otak and meatball use borax. Fried tofu and wet
yellow noodle use formalin. The shocking red color is got from Rhodamine B and
Methanil yellow as tempting yellow which both of them are actually to
coloring textile. This dangerous things is carcinogenic, so consume this
solute continually will increase the probability rate the consumer will have
cancer someday. While children are the young generation who will lead this
country to be better someday. Mentally effects are insomnia, concentration
problem, emotional problem, hyperactive and worsening autism. Not only mentally
effect, but this foods also take short term effect, there ara dizzy, nauseous,
diarrhoea and constipation.
In summary, even if cheap and
tempting, but the foods offered in school is dangerous for children. This kind
of food only bring lot of disadvantage rather than benefit.
It is better for parents to
prepare the children foods. It takes time but by bringing foods from home is
saving their health. The further thing must be done is giving children simple
explanation about how dangerous the tasty and rainbow looks food in their
school.
