Alpha Zeta BBC April 28th 2015
The Korea government has claimed that the provision of toothpicks on restaurant tables is now banned. The fact that it is a threat to our health led to this conclusion.
The survey with approximately 2000 people shows that 73% of people have got injured by using the toothpicks. Also, since it is made of thin plastic, in can be easily ingested. The department of Health and Safety is saying that there is a toxic substance in the plastic so it can be a threat to our body when it is ingested.
However, just banning the provision of toothpicks is not the best way to stop people from using it. The information from the one of the largest toothpicks company has shown that they are supplying the toothpick to more than 70% of restaurants in Korea. In the other word, the company has nowhere to sell their product if the government bans on provision of toothpicks. Then, the profits might decrease and consequently, the toothpicks companies might fire their workers in order to maximize their profits. Thus, there might be an increasing rate of unemployment. Firms and workers of toothpick companies are now sending tons of letters requesting the government to lift the ban.
Despite the harmfulness of toothpicks to our health, people are demanding it because it is very useful after finishing dishes. Many health care centers and health experts are saying that the provision of toothpicks should be banned for the citizen’s health. (257 words)
