It saddens me when I see or hear people in authority appealing to the conscience of others rather than implementing strategies to solve the issues they have been appointed to resolve.
Okay you can appeal to government for more resources but your aim should be to go to the market places and arrest those selling unwholesome food. You should collaborate with other agencies and probably get the minister responsible for your agency to take the matter to the cabinet level to get depts such as health, interior, education and local government making the joint effort to tackle the problem

if consumers get the right information and don't buy them, the unscrupulous sellers cannot sell them

the same mentality that will cause people to add cancer causing chemicals in ordinary palm oil to make it look red and sell them to their fellow human being to die from consuming them because of money; that's what Ghana has been reduced to, and it's all because Rawlings and NDC deceptive Politics.

So what is the difference between a person selling an unwholesome commodities and politicians looting monies, police collecting bribes, corrupt custom officials, sick immigration, judicial malfeasance. The system is on a verge of collapse.

a lot of stores like Melcom-Sunyani are selling counterfeit electrical equipment as well; my friend bought a brand new and supposedly brand name expensive stove from them six months ago, and it has already broken down.

FDA cum police and military must embark on nation wide operation to confiscate all these unwholesome goods flooding markets. My question is how these fake goods entered ghana?

If I were your employer, I would sack you today. You have said nothing. why don't you find means to control advert that are not in the interest of the populace. has the FDA seen all the adverts of all the bitters, all the mixtures & all the capsules promoting sex on TV & radio? have they seen adverts on TV promoting self medication?

We don't need education!. We were born stupid and will die stupid. How many of you can dare swear that they never patronized a "street hawker" before. You are all very sickhumans, you blame everything and everybody but yourselves. First and foremost All these street vendors are sick, as in diseased. They urinate and defecate along our highways behind bushes and in full glare of passersby, never wash their hands, then try to sell or force their goods on us. So many of us, whether it is out of stupidity or ignorance want to show off our few pesewas and buy all this shit. How the hell can you but and eat chocolate that doesn't melt under the scorching Ghana Sun, but everybody wants to pretend that sachet water is a life savor. I live in Ghana, I have never bought anything from any street hawker all my life, and I will live another 100 years...You people need to shut the fuck up and recognize that you are all subhuman...all this talk won't change a thing. If i had my way I will exterminate 75% percent of the population, and let new life new Ghanaian life germinate.

Go to makola and see all these perishables sitting around at 5:00 pm, and you wonder who is gonna buy it all by the next day, but then, where the hell are they gonna store the tomatoes, the lettuce, the carrots and every maggot infested food item at makola.

Go to kaneshie market, and visit the butcher section, see all this blood dripping meat with houseflies dancing adowa on them, at 5:00 pm you wonder what they gonna do with all this meat.

I used to think Korle Bu was a Morge, because people die like flies with a common stomach virus, people die just from sneezing more than 10 times. Yeah that is because we are ZOMBIES - Living Dead people, when you witness the sort of stuff our people consume. I have seen people walking the streets with blood shot eyes, and I know that they are only moving because the maggots in their systems are actually propelling them forward...trust me I have studied and I have solid conclusion of these facts. Beware, do not eat anything in the streets or open market places, else sorry you are a walking dead man/woman.

This should not be the last of such public education on chemically processed foods. There should be a constant and periodic education all over the country. The reason why we Ghanaians have come to be contracting Western diseases, is the acceptance and consumption of, particularly canned foods, some of which expire before we consume them.
