SANITARY CONDITIONS IN THE TOWN OF FLOWER

Public Stage was a walk through the meat distributors Plaza Las Flores, located in the supply sector of Bogotá and what a surprise that was.

At 10 am on April the news team arrived on site with the aim to verify how it was handling, processing and distribution of meat, the result was not optimal as weaknesses in the area of \u200b\u200bhealth were evident .

The transition from consumers, the voices of product supply and fierce competition among shopkeepers, perfectly adorned the heads of beef, offal and blood water lying on the ground, cement, because even were plated some of the establishments.
Everywhere you looked there were chunks of meat displayed in trays of dry oxide residues, carts filled with the entrails of cattle, steaks hanging unrefrigerated meat exposed to bacteria from the floor and near sewage channels smelly, shopkeepers receiving money from their sales with hands-free gloves that are then available to play the next pound of meat offer, faces devoid of masks and uniforms, no longer white but brown.

"The order, which will lead, I have the head of pig or carnecita, you say" offered a shopkeeper trying to take the client to your competition. A few steps, the sharp knife that Apun another butcher boned the skin of the third head of cattle exposed in the corridors in the eyes of the public and posted on a makeshift metal rail. In a split separations instead, plastic baskets containing more and more refrigerated meat and some bone pedaso ending devoured by the ravenous appetite of a dog that very likely, as well as consumers, used to visit the place.

More than conducive are these conditions in which meat is stored for them to develop large-scale cultivation of bacteria although none have sickened consumers, since none of those who buy there are complaints, does not mean that are not exempt from infection at any time because obviously unsafe place. General Dr. Santo University Thomas, Karen said Estupiñán clearly against such a situation that is supplied meat and bacteria in the animal was sacrificed and additionally when handling, storage and / or treatment of it is poor, the chances of an outbreak of infections and development of bacteria are greater, "when this type of food ingested can cause severe discomfort to the digestive system and depending on the type of bacteria are major complications to the point of requiring hospitalization and treatment" reiterated Estupiñán.

"You are shooting us" shouted exalted a butcher in the square when he surprised one of the members of our newspaper group taking place records. He quickly made it out of the situation with the equipment safely, but nevertheless, a member was approached by butchers who referred her to the administration of the place, "you can not take pictures, or write here," said the manager, whose name would not disclose. With the strong argument that there can not be recorded because they have been victims of robberies of establishments, this woman wanted to find evidence that could be eliminated. Clinched the fact, those arguments miss the public scorn, the question of whether do you really have been robbed or otherwise want to hide what is not working well see, because as the saying goes, that nothing should ...

Now with the knowledge of the remarkable unhealthiness in the Plaza de las Flores, other questions grow where are the bodies responsible for monitoring and surveillance in such cases as are The Ministry of Health and INVIMA? What about retailers who dare to sell meat that is not being properly handled? Why consumers buy there without any problem if it is clear that sanitation is poor?

To resolve these questions and establish agreements and solutions, Public Stage is preparing a public debate at the University of Santo Tomas, which will be duly informed the coming days, remember that it is essential to have your presence and comments.

Tomorrow is another day ... 24 Hours with Luis Quiroga

a butcher Luis Quiroga is young, bold, "mamagallista" and sometimes confianzudo, works for his father in "The Lone Ranger", a barn that has built his family for life . However, Lucho, is not in Bogota, Santander is a pure strain which had to come to a very early age to live in the capital, because according to Don Antonio, his father, here was the "talk."


Now we know who is to fight, we undertake an exhaustive journey through some of his lungs, ribs, "colombinitas, feet and legs; products that accompany it in their daily lives and become an expert in cutting, packaging and treatment meat products it sells. Lucho, is known in the industry for being a good tradesman, because housewives love to meet them as "Lucho, give me a pound of meat ball, but rather thin, you know, and I like it, or if not, I bring the pot, "they say again and again clients of The Lone Ranger."


Photo by Natalia Pinilla Marquez on May 15, 2009. Bertha Suarez, client set the barn does not tire of repeating how much he likes the way to be the butcher "Lucho, is a very good boy, it serves a good, honest and friendly, in addition to the old ladies I have patience and best of all, you do not attend to one of zeal. " Although his days begin at 5 am and end at 9 pm, no time of day you are in a bad mood or make a face, probably due to their youth and passion for work, because every time he talks about his job he does as if it were his hobby or pastime.


At 5 am, get out to the fridge "Carnes Angus, "because although a friend of the administrator must arrive early, otherwise the meat will not turn away and run the risk of being left" envelopes "or meat the previous day. Lucho says, "I like what I do and do not mind early, sometimes plays as a sacrifice and I will cycle to" Angus Meats, pasito do some sport "this morning because we decided to go with him to make meat shop I had to leave to "bold" file (your bike). Lucho


arrives around 7 am (when going in "bold"), arranges the meat on the counter and available for breakfast, do not have to go very far, because he lives on "The Plains", when it comes to shopping Dona Alba, her mother, she served chocolate meat "thorn fried, eggs and bread for the time are now 8 and her clients begin to arrive: "I fight it, the other Lucho, Lucho, Lucho, Lucho" is envied the ability to hear so many orders at once and serve correctly all. "The time for him is strong from 8 am until 11, so do not force myself to stay with me all day, plus the customers already know and if you arrive after 11 no meat to them, because I'm not going to risk my health they stuck to the bar "said Don Antonio.


In this brief respite, Lucho helps her mother with the housework, is seen with his girlfriend and some of her friends, and he says "one has her friends, does not see many girls come here and I cast the eye for being so nice. " I really have enough time to devote to their romantic adventures, because at 2:30 pm "The Lone Ranger" closes its doors for reasons "food", as Don Antonio should go to lunch and therefore take their afternoon nap and 5:30 reopened.


"At that time she starts to move it, because people come from work and go to buy about the food or lunch the next day, they buy the kids lunch and buy milk for breakfast, "says Lucho. In the blink of an eye, the barn was full of customers, children, dogs and even cats, accompanying clients to buy food. On one side is Don Antonio, his earnestness and clumsiness saying "what to pack, and the other is Lucho" Hi, how I am, do you want to give you. " The ambiguity of these characters is such that the women treated brusquely Don Antonio and amicably Luchito, who trusts them and intercede with his father that he will too.


Suddenly, the 9 pm closing time, "The Ranger", Lucho is quick to pick up the packages of potato out there and lower the gate, as though their working hours are not many, require a lot of pressure, concentration and tactics, because not everyone handles like a knife! With the precision that he does and without any protection. Finally, your workday ends with the order of his father close to see Lucho, I'm very tired, tomorrow is another day. "

Meats, advantages and disadvantages of consuming meat

In this article I will look more generally about the meat, besides talking about the quality and wholesomeness of it will do much emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages in fact consume and talk about the conditions that cause the human body in this culture carnivorous.
meat has become indispensable in any Colombian dish, but this food has been strongly questioned by experts in the field. Although experts in meat consumption is not recommended to advise that stop eating because it would prevent the body receives a lot of vitamins and proteins that can not be achieved in another way or at any other food. There are many nutrients
that we provide, according to the institute of food control in Colombia say that all the meat we provide between 15 and 20 percent of proteins that are considered as high quality contributes between 10 and 20% fat, have a limited amount of carbohydrate and the water content between 50 and 80%. In addition we provide B vitamins, zinc and phosphorus.
The meat is strongly criticized because it is directly related to safety and quality problems as well as major health problems such as heart failures is one of the leading causes of death in Colombia, another drawback is cholesterol and can even include cancer despite being a rich food protein that led to increased mortal illnesses that cause damage in the body in the case of eating bad meat treated with bacteria producing lethal effects such as brucellosis, an alarming case for eating too much meat is cholesterol as mentioned above, but in large amounts can aggravate diseases like high blood pressure and cardiac arrest. Trigger such sensitive issues as clogged veins, complications with the uric acid is responsible for such an important role in the body and inflammation in one or more joints. According to the medical
, Maria Elena Moura "Another major problem stems from the way this food is prepared, as when meat is cooked and brown at high heat directly (for coal or wood), form carcinogenic compounds that generate tumors in the stomach, small and large intestines and also has the same effect if eaten bad meat. The risk of this problem increases if the diet is based on lack of diversity of food, where there are present plant products rich in fiber and vitamins C and E ".
addition, nutritionists say that there are people that should not stop eating meat because there are nutrients that they provide us are indispensable, as in the growth stage of the child, elderly and pregnant women, all to prevent anemia in juvenile stages and also help create the body's defense of diseases and produce hormones that are essential for the body. However
the healthiest meats are those that do not contain much fat and are well treated in terms of the temperature at which they are exposed, you should not fry cook and therefore avoid having all of the abovementioned diseases, all depending the amount of carbs you should eat each day for the proper functioning of the body.
According to Dr. Maria Elena Moura, "there are many factors that may be associated with the meat with an increased risk of death. Cooking meat at high temperatures produces carcinogens and Meat is also an important source of saturated fat, associated with cancers of breast and colon, remember. In addition, lower meat intake is associated with decreased risk factors for heart disease like cholesterol and blood pressure. "
To conclude as we have seen in this article from any point of view we must be careful when eating meat either by being in poor condition or the amount of red meat consumed.

"Las Flores" - Interview with Darius

The market square of "Las Flores" is one of the most popular spots city, since it is located in the town of Kennedy, south-west of Bogota, near the central square of the country's largest grocery, Corabastos. However, the food supplier, today presents problems of hygiene and sanitation.

Bogota Under the warm morning of Saturday 2 May, the Public Stage news team met at 9:00 AM, near Banderas TransMilenio station, two miles west of Corabastos, and began his journey towards the goal of research, market square "Flowers." Despite the

difficult access to this area of \u200b\u200bthe city, because of the crowds of vehicles and vendors, Public Stage managed to enter the square. The news crew was divided into two parts to cover the entire sector.

Amid phrases such as "Forward pattern, what are you looking for?!" Or "I have a potato, tomato and lettuce fresh!" Is the area of \u200b\u200bmeat whose grandeur is characterized not only by the contrast of red and "white", or rather white-brown, but the mix, almost suffocating, the smell of meat, fresh and relaxed, blood and the different smells that emerge from local vegetables, fruits and vegetables surrounding the meat sector.

As we were getting inside the long hallways of this section of "Flowers" was obvious how the different local employees handling meat. The landscape was overwhelming and yet abominable: chunks of meat in trucks loaded plastic rib fragments, for sale, lying in plastic crates and wooden canvas at the foot of treated water grids; heads manipulated on beef coffee and sticky floors and countertops, whose weak legs, corroded by rust, seemed to take it anymore the weight of the loins and legs there were deboning.

"Take my love and see how good the Costillita is just ... A thousand bucks!" Shouted the woman, thick texture, responsible for one of the butchers at the same time around and settled on the piece of meat, mosquitoes and flies, inevitable guest of honor at the marketplaces.

After half an hour of observation, my companion and I decided that was enough for the day, so we left the place.

at 9:45 am we arrived at the agreed meeting point, a few blocks west of the square. Fifteen minutes later the second "squadron" of research, the cameraman and his assistant, but with the difference that came without one of the partners in it. That's when we knew there were problems.

Part of our objective was to obtain visual images on sanitation and hygiene of the place, which implies that we should put up video cameras that were not discovered. However, under the pretext that he was showing some family photos to his assistant, cameraman, the second research group, had the fabulous idea of \u200b\u200btaking the camera in the middle of a lane to capture better images. Immediately the owner of an adjacent room realized the situation and began warning to all traders in the area.

The cameraman and his assistant went to one of the outputs of the square. But unfortunately, the partner in charge of distracting the vendors, asking for prices and types of meat, he was not aware of the event and identified the merchants.
"She is one that was recording ... The other two went through that door ... Call the administration!" Shouted desperate seller. After several discussions, the Public Stage integral was taken to the administration office.

"You can not record here, because here we have won a lot. That is why sellers are so paranoid, "said the secretary to the administrator, at the same time you said you could withdraw because the staff was busy and could not address the situation.

meat
The area occupies approximately half of the square as the number of stores of this type creates a kind of safety device between the owners of the butcher, because apparently were victims of theft by of films that show the access and the security implemented in "Flowers."

After approximately 30 minutes, the mate came to the meeting point, with a look of nervousness and agitation, told us what happened and made our way back.

were
10:45 AM and during their return, Public Stage reviewed the images captured by cameras and can definitely give the serious health and hygiene deficiencies that exist in this popular supplier of food, which stands to prevent the usual buyers of this place when buying their meat products.

Expect more details on the situation being presented in "The Flowers."
