    "content": "and kumi kumi combined with poor nutrition causes more harm to the society than otherwise. Therefore, this needs to be addressed. We need to put more money into research on nutrition and foodstuffs. Above all, we need to have food and drug regulation so that we do not just swallow anything. This is because a lot of things come to our markets. There are now a lot of biological substances that have come into the market as food additives. Many people take them without the doctor's advice. They go to the shelves and buy them. They eat the so-called \"multi-vitamins\" so as to to improve their health while they are not good for them. Similarly, what we buy from the shops like white bread needs to be enriched. A lot of us love eating white bread but it does not add value to our health at all. So, a lot of these issues can only be regulated when we have the institute as proposed in this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need a healthy nation which can only come up when we are eating healthy foods. If we eat wrong type of foods, we are going to remain unhealthy and that is to the detriment of the nation. Sick people cannot think and create ideas. It is only healthy people who can sit, think and create knowledge and new ideas. Therefore, this Bill is very appropriate to help this country to start re-organising ourselves. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
