? It is unsafe for children to eat cooked vegetables for a long time, and their nutrition and health are not guaranteed.
Recently, there are more and more disputes about "cooked vegetables" entering the campus, which has aroused widespread concern from all walks of life. In the widespread concern of netizens, there are also many voices of opposition. In my opinion, netizens are not only resisting "cooked food", but also paying attention to food safety on campus and the healthy growth of children. Next, let's talk about the prefabricated dishes.
Prefabricated vegetables, also known as prefabricated cooked food, generally refer to semi-finished products or finished products made of all kinds of agricultural, livestock, poultry and aquatic products as raw materials, supplemented with seasonings and other auxiliary materials, which are pre-selected and processed.
Generally speaking, prefabricated dishes are also called cooking bags. They are equipped with various auxiliary materials as needed, and food additives may be used. They have the characteristics of long shelf life and convenient eating. In terms of types, prefabricated dishes are generally divided into four categories, namely, ready-to-eat food, instant food, instant cooked food and instant food.
Generally speaking, prefabricated vegetables need to be stored or transported under cold chain conditions for consumers or catering processors to eat simply after heating or cooking.
From the national level, cooked food, as a kind of convenient food, has been gradually valued and popularized by the state in recent years. This year, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission on Measures to Restore and Expand Consumption (Guo Ban Han [2023] No.70), requesting to cultivate the model of "breeding base+central kitchen+cold chain logistics+catering stores", tap the market potential of assembled vegetables, accelerate the construction of assembled vegetable bases, fully embody the principles of safety, nutrition and health, improve the standardization level of catering quality and distribution, and promote transparent kitchens for consumers.
From the long-term development of prefabricated vegetables, one end is connected to the field and the other end is connected to the dining table, which plays an important role in promoting the integration and development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and meeting the consumption upgrade.
? The implementation of prefabricated dishes conforms to the consumption needs and lifestyle of modern people. With the rapid development of society, people's requirements for diet have gradually become diversified and convenient. Cooked food, as a convenient and quick food, can meet people's needs for health, delicacy and efficiency in their busy lives. Whether cooking at home or eating in a restaurant, prefabricated dishes can provide a simple, quick and basic nutritional solution.
? The implementation of pre-cooked dishes is conducive to solving food safety problems. In the past, food safety problems have occurred from time to time, which has brought great concern to people's food safety. The implementation of prefabricated dishes can strengthen the supervision of food production and processing and ensure the quality and safety of ingredients. Compared with traditional on-site cooking, prefabricated dishes can better control the food hygiene standards, reduce the risk of food pollution and protect the health of consumers in the production process.
? The implementation of pre-cooked dishes is conducive to reducing food waste. In the traditional diet mode, a lot of food is wasted because of the imperfect procurement, storage and cooking of ingredients. The production process of prefabricated vegetables can better control the consumption and preservation of ingredients, reduce food waste, and achieve the purpose of saving resources and protecting the environment. The implementation of prefabricated dishes can bring more variety selection and innovation, meet the needs of consumers and promote the development and upgrading of the food industry.
As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, prefabricated dishes meet the consumption needs and lifestyle of modern people, and can meet people's demand for health, delicacy and efficiency in their busy lives. The basic audience of prefabricated dishes is basically people who have no time to cook because of busy work.
The emergence of prefabricated dishes, to put it bluntly, is a fast-food solution, that is, to meet people's basic taste bud needs in the least time.
Generally speaking, the safety of prefabricated vegetables can be guaranteed, but long-term consumption threatens health, especially for campus students in the growing period. Long-term consumption of prefabricated vegetables may lead to malnutrition and increase the risk of chronic diseases, which is not conducive to the growth and development of campus students.
Eating prepared vegetables for a long time will lead to weight gain. In order to cater to the public's tastes and keep food for a longer time, many prepared dishes are high in fat and calories. If children eat these foods with high oil and salt for a long time, it will lead to weight gain, affect human organs, and then induce related diseases.
? Eating prepared vegetables for a long time will lead to malnutrition. Generally speaking, the nutrition of prefabricated vegetables is relatively simple due to the limitation of the types of ingredients. Although carbohydrates, protein and fat can be well guaranteed, it is difficult to keep more vitamins, minerals and bioactive components. Moreover, some prefabricated vegetables will add preservatives to the varieties of vegetables in order to preserve them for a longer time. Although the preservatives in the officially purchased prefabricated vegetables are within the national safety standards, if children eat them for a long time, it will lead to malnutrition and other symptoms, which is harmful to physical development.
Long-term consumption of prepared vegetables will increase the risk of chronic diseases. In order to pursue the taste, too much fat intake in some prefabricated dishes will increase the risk of hyperlipidemia; Excessive salt intake of cooked vegetables will increase the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, which can not be ignored, especially for patients with chronic diseases and kidney problems, cooked vegetables with high oil and salt can be left untouched. If children eat it for a long time, it will increase the risk of chronic diseases.
As the saying goes, the healthy growth of children is the primary responsibility of society. Introducing prepared dishes into the campus may bring a series of health problems to children. Imagine that once the prefabricated dishes mass-produced on the industrial assembly line enter the campus and become the mainstream diet of children, it will bring many potential and unknown health risks. Moreover, if the school provides children with prepared dishes that they can't eat well or eat for a long time, it may not only lead to children's developmental retardation, but also have a far-reaching impact on their physical and mental health. Therefore, parents' opinions should be widely solicited when prefabricated dishes enter the campus. In fact, parents and netizens are not only resisting the entrance of prefabricated dishes into the campus, but also expressing their concern and concern for the food safety on campus and the healthy growth of children.
