A wonderful Apple

Apple is one of the best fruits. It is sweet, delicious and good for health and also acts as preventive medicine, but it is not our national fruit and not even produced in the country. Apples are normally imported in bulk quantities from the countries like India, Australia, China and some African countries. They are sold by the foot path sellers, super markets and BDR shops. The electronic and print media frequently show us how the fruits in the country are poisoned using chemicals. It has become almost a normal matter and business people take it as part of their strategies of making profits. The damaging activities started through the footpath sellers. Now it has stepped to super markets and BDR shops as well.

I bought some apples two months ago from a shop where people buy various kinds of fruits with full confidence of having the best and free from poisonous chemicals. It was summer season and temperature was very high when the apples were bought. One of the apples remained unnoticed behind the books on my reading table. Almost two months later, I found it as fresh as it was bought. Now I keep it on my table and use it as a paper weight. Surprisingly neither any insect nor animal touches it. The ants and cockroaches always move around the apple but they do not try to nibble it.

Interested persons can perform the experiment before taking the apples as delicious food. Instead of throwing them out, the imported apples can be used as paper weight rather than food and perhaps that is the best way to save ourselves from early death when we cannot utilize our scientific knowledge to detect which is real and which is poisonous food.  

The exact definition of silent chemical warfare is not known to me but I guess we are now the victims of that type of war imposed by some unknown enemies who are taking the advantages of negligence and illiteracy of some concerned persons, though we have thousands of science literate citizens in the country. Is it not the time to wake up and protect our new generation from such dangers?
