| Abstract: | Twenty-first century citizenship has become more demanding than ever as both the concept and the social behavior reflecting it have developed impressively. More and more people are becoming aware of the interconnected world around them with its positive and negative aspects. One aspect of social consciousness, which must be represented by the security culture, should become a priority at the present moment. Security culture and social responsibility should go hand in hand, as the whole social system has been changing a lot lately and not for the better. Food security represents one basic aspect of contemporary society and the basis for the future process of development. Everybody seems to know about E-numbers but the question is connected to their effect. How safe are they? More and more people discover every day the negative effects that many of these substances have on our health. Mr. Wonka’s factory, an innocent dream filled with humor, has been multiplied all over the world, producing more and more synthetic food for those who are in a hurry to avoid meeting themselves. The social satire has become a nightmare. From a utopian project, it has been revealing itself as a dystopian reality. |
