Today the case of AGASA and its silence regarding the overdose of sugar in sodas made in Gabon. Enjoy your treat!
I sometimes ask myself stupid questions, the answers to which are a real torture that shakes my mind.
Frankly, between us, what is the purpose of the thing wrongly called the Gabonese Agency for Food Safety (AGASA), this so-called technical thing attached to the Ministry of Agriculture?
What food security are we talking about? Are we serious in this country?
Let’s take a product at random among many others of the same type and which constitute a public health danger: sodas.
These drinks, widely consumed by our children and even adults, in these very heatwave times, contain a discharge of sugar outside the phytosanitary standard and therefore infectious for consumption in the same way as market garden products doped with pesticides and sold in supermarkets. neighborhoods by street vendors.
Several chemists are unanimous on the question of the very high sugar level in sodas made in Gabon.
The objective, I am told, is to attract as many consumers as possible and create an addiction. Whore !
We see a whole range of these sodas on the market with varied labels, a sign of vicious marketing.
As a result of this sugar overdose, in 10 years, we will create millions of diabetics and kidney patients. The eminent Dr Gotran Macka presented sugar as a “sweet monster”, which says it all.
To make the numbers explode, these shit factories set up in this country sell us poison like some of our West African relatives who, to attract large numbers of customers, sprinkle the dishes offered to customers with fecal matter.
Consumer food safety is sacrificed on the altar of criminal business. The abundance of sugar in sodas sold in Gabon and which are said to be the sweetest on the planet, does not seem to concern AGASA, which boasts of having created a laboratory to identify products unfit for consumption and put a whoop!
It’s as if this agency is held by the balls by these factories which shit on the health of the Gabonese people.
The chemists who work in these factories of mass destruction and who bend over backwards to save pitiful salaries at the expense of our health must be brought to justice for passive complicity in mass poisoning.
The National Assembly must take action by initiating parliamentary controls and calling on the Minister of Agriculture or even his colleague from industry.
Faced with the lack of expertise of NGOs specializing in the defense of consumer rights, Gabon must call on a private laboratory because the health of the Gabonese depends on it. AGASA must simply disappear for having failed in the duty of its responsibilities.
Hold ! another product that is too sweet is abundantly available on the market without moving the supposed AGASA experts who are rather preoccupied with harassing travelers surprised with a little Nkumu and cassava in their suitcases at Léon Mba airport.
This sweetened condensed milk that I dare not mention so as not to also be complicit in insidious advertising has a rare color if not refined palm oil. He became the star of cafeterias or “backs turned” as well as grocers’ stalls in poor neighborhoods except “la Sablière”.
This milk is so “so good” that its price is unbeatable.
And yet, a little research on the web shows that this milk manufactured in Asia, the world capital of palm oil, is only sold in certain dumps called African countries (Gabon, Benin and Nigeria). Poor Africa!
With all this overdose of sugar, the CNAMGS must soon file for bankruptcy, incapable as it will be in a decade of honoring the medical bills of diabetics, kidney failure and other heart patients…
To put it simply, the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI) must close AGASA and entrust its missions to a private laboratory which will be selected after an international call for tenders. The laboratory will be responsible for convincing soda manufacturers to lower their sugar bill, a reduction which will preserve the health of the population and lower the national medical bill for a real rise towards happiness.
I will return to the subject as long as the CTRI does not tell us the number of its press release on this subject.
