ESL 140: Red Meat, Gray Water



Download


See that bright red hamburger meat in the grocery store? It's bright red because a food processor added carbon monoxide to the package. Most European governments do not allow carbon monoxide in packages that contain beef products. They warn that the gas keeps the beef looking bright red even if the beef has started to decay. This bright red color is attractive, but it's a cheap trick that allows the processor to sell possibly spoiled beef.

In the US, however, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Agriculture say not to worry, the gas is completely safe.

"They might change their mind," said activist Maureen Downey, "when a lot of people get sick, and it's all over TV and radio news. These two agencies bend over backward for food companies. Guess what? Processors now want to use gray water in canned soups. Look out, America—your favorite chicken soup will soon be 50 percent gray water."

Conan Nolan, head of FDA, said, "Ms. Downey has a vivid imagination. Our primary concern is the health and safety of American consumers. Gray water is simply 'used' household water. It does not include toilet water. We would never allow 50 percent gray water in canned soups—that amount might make people sick. The amount we allow will probably not exceed two or three percent. People have to realize that water is getting more valuable every decade, as the world's population increases and the amount of fresh water decreases. Just as people's digestive systems get used to contaminated water in developing countries, Americans will get used to gray water in their canned soups and other products. Look, no processed food is 100 percent sterile. Consider how much rat feces we allow in processed food today. I've yet to hear of one American dying from eating too much rat feces, so a little gray water shouldn't be a problem either."

Thịt Đỏ, Nước bẩn

Bạn có thấy miếng thịt băm đỏ tươi trong cửa hàng thịt không? Nó đỏ tươi vì người chế biến thực phẩm bỏ thêm carbon monoxide vào bao chứa thịt bò. Hầu hết chính phủ châu Âu không cho phép carbon monoxide trong bao bì chứa thịt bò. Họ cảnh báo là khí này giữ thịt bò trông tươi đỏ ngay cả thịt bò bắt đầu phân huỷ. Miếng thịt tươi đỏ này màu hấp dẫn, nhưng cách làm rẻ tiền này giúp người chế biến có thể bán thịt bò đã hư.

Ở Mỹ, dù sao, Cơ quan Thực phẩm và Thuốc (FDA) và Bộ Nông nghiệp nói đừng lo, khí này hoàn toàn an toàn.

"Họ có thể thay đổi ý nghĩ," nhà hoạt động Maureen Downey nói, "Khi nhiều người mắc bệnh, và nó sẽ truyền đầy trên tin tức TV và radio. Hai phương tiện này sẽ kéo lùi những công ty thực phẩm. Thử đoán là gì? Những người chế biến giờ đây lại muốn dùng nước bẩn trong súp hộp. Nhìn xem, Mỹ-nước súp gà ưa chuộng sẽ chứa 50 phần trăm nước bẩn."

Conan Nolan, đứng đầu FDA, nói, "Cô Downey tưởng tượng quá sinh động. Chúng ta quan tâm đầu tiên là sức khoẻ và an toàn của người tiêu dùng Mỹ. Nước bẩn chỉ đơn giản là nước gia dụng "đã dùng". Không gồm nước nhà vệ sinh. Chúng ta sẽ không bao giờ cho phép 50 phần trăm nước bẩn trong súp đóng hộp. Lượng này sẽ làm con người bệnh. Lượng cho phép sẽ có thể không quá hai hoặc ba phần trăm. Người ta phải nhân ra nước ngày càng có giá trị hơn hàng thập niên, vì dân số thế giới tăng và lượng nước sạch giảm. Khi hệ tiêu hoá con người quen với nước ô nhiễm trong những nước phát triển, Mỹ sẽ quen với việc dùng nước bẩn trong súp đóng hộp và những sản phảm khác. Nhìn xem, không thực phẩm chế biến nào thanh trùng 100 phần trăm. Hãy cân nhắc bao nhiêu phân chuột chúng ta cho phép trong thực phẩm chế biến ngày nay. Chúng ta vẫn chưa nghe nói một người Mỹ nào chết vì ăn quá nhiều phân chuột, nên một ít nước bẩn cũng không thành vấn đề."

Bạn có thấy miếng thịt bò đỏ tươi trong cửa hàng tạp hoá không? Miếng thịt đỏ tươi vì hãng chế biến thực phẩm đã cho thêm khí các-bon mô-nô-xít vào bao bì. Hầu hết các chính phủ trong Liên Minh Châu Âu không cho phép có khí các-bon mô-nô-xít trong bao bì đựng mặt hàng thịt bò. Họ cảnh báo loại khí đó đã giữ thịt bò trông đỏ tươi mặc dù thịt bò đã bắt đầu phân rã. Màu đỏ tươi thật hấp dẫn, nhưng đó là một thủ thuật rẻ tiền để các hãng chế biến thực phẩm có thể bán được thịt bò ươn thối.

Tuy nhiên, tại Hoa kỳ, Cơ quan quản lý thực phẩm và dược phẩm (FDA)cùng với Bộ Nông Nghiệp nói rằng không phải lo lắng, loại khí đó an tòan tuyệt đối.

"Có thể họ phải thay đổi suy nghĩ của mình thôi" Maureen Downey, một nhà hoạt động xã hội nói, "đến lúc hàng loạt người ngã bệnh, và đó là tin chính trên khắp các chương trình thời sự ti-vi và ra-đi-ô. Hai cơ quan này bắt buộc phải làm mọi cách để giúp các công ty thực phẩm, cho dù phải gặp nhiều tình huống khó khăn. Thử đoán xem có chuyện gì nào? Các hãng chế biến muốn sử dụng nước bẩn trong các loại súp đóng hộp. Cẩn thận nào, nước Mỹ- món súp gà khoái khẩu của quý vị sẽ sớm có ngay 50% nước bẩn.

Conan Nolan, người đứng đầu của FDA, nói, "Cô Downey có trí tưởng tượng thật phong phú. Mối quan tâm đầu tiên của chúng tôi là sức khoẻ và sự an toàn cho người tiêu dùng Hoa Kỳ. Nước bẩn chỉ đơn giản là nước "đã dùng rồi" ở trong nhà. Nó không bao gồm nước từ nhà vệ sinh. Chúng tôi không chấp nhận tỷ lệ 50% nước bẩn trong các loại súp đóng hộp - đó là mức có thể làm cho con người ốm đau. Số lượng chúng tôi chấp nhận có thể sẽ không vượt quá hai hoặc ba phần trăm. Mọi người phải nhận thức được rằng nước ngày càng trở nên quý giá qua mỗi thập kỷ, khi dân số thế giới tăng lên và khối lượng nước sạch lại giảm xuống. Cũng giống như ở các nước đang phát triển, hệ tiêu hoá của người dân đã thích ứng với nước nhiễm bẩn, người Mỹ sẽ thích ứng với việc dùng nước bẩn trong các loại súp đóng hộp, và các sản phẩm khác. Thử nhìn xem, không có loại thực phẩm chế biến nào vô trùng 100% cả. Hãy xem xét có bao nhiêu phân chuột được chúng tôi cho phép có trong thức ăn chế biến hiện nay. Tôi chưa từng nghe một người dân Mỹ nào chết vì ăn quá nhiều phân chuột, vì thế chỉ có một ít nước bẩn cũng không nên quan trọng hoá vấn đề làm gì."

Hi, anh phamdinhphung,

Thật tình là bí rị với idiom trên. Mình phải sửa lui sửa tới mấy lần nhưng biết vẫn chưa đúng nên phải type chữ nghiêng để anh vào giúp. ^_^

Các bài về sau này dịch có vẻ khó hơn. Đọc thì hiểu được phần lớn nhưng dịch cho suông và sát ý thì khó quá. Vì vậy, rất mong anh và các bạn trong diễn đàn giúp thêm.

Cám ơn rất nhiều.

Chúc anh vui khoẻ.
