The Bushenyi district farmers’ association chairperson Jotham Misango has advised People to be conscious on the meat they buy from the butchery.
Misango noted that some of it is treated with formalin so that it can stay fresh and longer in the market.
Formalin is a chemical that is used on dead bodies to prevent them from producing bad smell.
Misango was speaking to the Bushenyi market traders and butchers in meeting that were held today at Bushenyi municipal council hall.
He said that some traders use toxic chemicals to keep their products fresh which is dangerous to human beings.
He also advised traders and farmers not to apply pesticides in agricultural products that are already in the market for consumption adding that they are toxic and this is why incurable diseases like cancer are increasing in human beings.
Misanngo noted that farmers should apply protective clothes while spraying their crops to prevent chemicals from entering bear skins.
Speaking as the coordinator Bushenyi district farmers association, Alex Yebangire advised people to protect water sources jealously than wasting them and start crying to government for help.
He added that it is everyone’s responsibility to protect water sources because water is life.
