Impact of foodborne illness of Culinary tourism:
Culinary tourism and foodborne illness are directly interrelated. Increasingly, food is consumed outside the home with the potential for exposure to poor hygiene in commercial food service settings (WHO, 2008). Researchers already found that increased culinary tourism and lack of food safety training, are the two major reason for increase foodborne illness. According to Kramer and Scott, increased tourism and travel, the increase in the number of people dining out, changing food production methods, poor hygiene practices, a lack of training in food safety, and the public awareness of their rights of how to report these incidents ( 2004).

Bangladesh is a land of different kinds of aesthetic foods. We have traditional, ethnic, festival and regional foods which can be a memorable experience for tourists as well as enhance our culinary tourism vicinity. Unfortunately, the culinary sector in our country is not in a position which can explore as an industry. Recently, a huge amount of well-known food court and restaurants have been established around the country, especially in big cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and so on, with their unique servings. This huge amount of food court and restaurants also raised the importance of control and regulation as well as food safety issue. According to Syed Rashidul Hasan (1988), there are two problems related to developing culinary tourism, 1) Quality and hygienic factors of Bangladeshi food are doubted by the customer because most of our cuisines prepare the food in a dirty environment. 2) Most the ingredient of the foods is nutritious …show more content…
Researchers suggested that consumers use food safety cues in restaurant choice, such as observation of locale and staff hygiene (Henson et al., 2006; Fatimah et al., 2010). Food of a destination can change the experience of a traveller positively even if the tourist is not satisfied with the place. Mandatory certification on food safety will give assurance to the travellers about their health issue while travelling in Bangladesh. This certification will increase the image of food quality of fast food shops and restaurants, as well as promote our culinary arts to
A major issue that is occurring in America is a phenomena known as “food deserts”, most are located in urban areas and it's difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. Whereas in the past, food deserts were thought to be solved with just placing a grocery store in the area, but with times it has become an issue that people are not picking the best nutritional option. This issue is not only making grocery store in food deserts are practically useless and not really eliminating the issue of food deserts because even when they are given a better nutritional option, and people are not taking it. In my perspective, it takes more than a grocery store to eliminate ‘food deserts’. It's more about demonstrating the good of picking the nutritional option and how it can help them and their families. For example, “Those who live in these areas are often subject to poor diets as a result and are at a greater risk of becoming obese or developing chronic diseases.”(Corapi, 2014).
Furthermore, food safety is a major issue in the United States. Foodborne illness has caused an estimated 1 and 6 Americans to be sickened, 128,000 hospitalizations, and cause 3,000 deaths each year (http://www.sustainabletable.org/). These numbers may seem shocking, but they are all too real. All of the high levels
Almost every angle of the food industry can be considered dangerous. It is dangerous to make the food, as a meatpacking job is one that is viewed as having abnormally high risks; however when the food is handed over a counter on a tray or prepared in a family of four’s kitchen, it poses a huge risk to humankind. Foodborne illnesses are all too common and almost everybody has the possiblity of contracting a foodborne illness. These are life threatening diseases that need to be monitored and regulated; therefore the enforcement of government regulations in the fast food industry could potentially save many lives that are lost annually due to the numerous factors that need regulation.

The United States Department of Agriculture has reported that approximately 23.5 million Americans currently live in food deserts, including 6.5 million children (Shannon 248). Food deserts have left Americans without the option to provide fresh food resources for themselves and their families. As a result of the lack of food provided for Americans, obesity and illness rates have increased for people living in these areas. Food deserts have created a negative effect on people by causing a rise in obesity and illnesses, and causing difficulties in families. In order to fix this issue there needs to be a movement that will include placing supermarkets in food deserts and these markets should provide a variety of fresh food sources.
Food deserts are a serious problem in this country and affects many people across the United States. The official definition of one is “The USDA defines a food desert as a low-income census tract in which more than 500 people or 33 percent of the population live at least a mile from a supermarket that does at least $2 million in annual sales” (Dutko 2). In many states across the U.S., there are urban cities that have little to no access to grocery stores or supermarkets, severely limiting their supply and likelihood of receiving fresh produce to give to their families. Living in a food desert comes with a vast array of problems to those who live in them. Certain companies think that it is unwise to put in grocery stores in these urban areas;
Environmental justice focuses on the fair treatment of people across all demographics, as it relates to environmental laws, regulations, and policies (Hilmers et al., 2012). An example of environmental justice is food deserts. Food deserts are areas concentrated in low-income neighborhoods, where residents do not have access to healthy food options such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and other whole foods (USDA, 2011). Similarly, low-income areas tend to lack supermarkets and other healthy food retailers (Office of Community Services, 2017). In California, food deserts are prevalent due to the unaffordability, limited access, and an overabundance of unhealthy food choices.
Foodborne diseases are among the most widespread public health problems. Yet only a small proportion of these illnesses come to the notice of health services, and even fewer are investigated. In developing countries even fewer cases are counted, primarily because of poverty and lack of resources for food safety management and food control services. In spite of underreporting, increases in foodborne diseases in many parts of the world and the emergence of new or newly recognized foodborne problems have been identified (Tauxe, 2002).

America is a capitalist society. It should come to a surprise when we live like this daily. We work for profit. We’ll buy either for pleasure or to sell later for profit. It should come to no surprise that our food is made the same way because we are what we eat. We are capitalist that eat a capitalist meal. So we must question our politics. Is our government system to blame for accepting and encouraging monopolies?
The third weakness is the fact that food tests, inspections, and the detection of contaminants are taken seriously only after an outbreak of some food-borne diseases, food poisoning, or deaths.

Food borne illnesses are diseases, usually either infectious or toxic in nature, caused by agents that enter the body through the ingestion of food. “In industrialized countries, the percentage of people suffering from food borne diseases each year has been reported to be up to 30%. In the United States of America, for example, around 76 million cases of food borne diseases, resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths, are estimated to occur each year.” (Geneva 2)
