Currently novel Coronavirus is still spreading rapidly around the world and the pressure of preventing imported virus from abroad is increasing.
Some parts of China have clustered, and repeated alarm bells are still ringing from time to time.
Although the cause of the epidemic has yet to be explored by scientists, social consensus has gradually been formed to strictly prevent “disease from entering the mouth”.
Recently, the Capital Civilization Engineering Foundation and Civilization Magazine, together with 100 experts from all over the country, proposed a “dining table revolution”, in the hope that the “dining table revolution” with broad public participation could help prevent and control the epidemic.
“A healthy and civilized lifestyle is the best vaccine for disease eradication,” said a study released by the Earth and Resources Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Liu Xiaojie, an associate researcher at the institute, told reporters that establishing a healthy and civilized lifestyle to reduce disease exposure could cut off the spread of the disease.
From table to kitchen waste, what does a healthy and civilized lifestyle include?
How do you form a habit?
Eat every meal healthy and safe
The infection data of hepatitis, gastric cancer and other diseases increasing year by year released by the World Health Organization showed the effect of sharing meals on the transmission of foodborne diseases.
“Unhealthy lifestyle, diet, environmental pollution, food pollution and other key carcinogenic factors have made it imperative to change people’s living habits and diet.”
Liu xiaojie said.
“I hope everyone will eat every meal with care like in a Dream of Red Mansions.”
Zheng Linchang, a professor at the Institute of Regional Economics at Hebei University, hopes that focusing on health will become a dining habit for everyone. “It’s not necessarily about being meticulous about food, but more importantly about safety and health.”
What challenges do we face in promoting a “dining table revolution” and fostering a healthy and civilized lifestyle?
Experts believe that, on the one hand, we need to see a growing demand for separate meals, buffet, table meal and other acceptance is increasingly high, some catering enterprises are committed to the implementation of separate meals, through big data, cloud computing to help residents calculate what to eat.
In the process of epidemic prevention and control, residents have gained a further understanding of food-borne diseases, and the separate meal system has gained initial impetus.
On the other hand, family meals carry the cultural concept of “in the same boat” and “helping each other”, which has been running for thousands of years.
Wu Jian, deputy dean of the School of Environment at Renmin University in Beijing, told reporters that changing habits with cultural characteristics would be a “very slow process”.
“It is very difficult to change customs, and some traditional dishes are not suitable for separate meals.
“In the early days, separate meals meant higher costs for families, making it more difficult to implement separate meals.”
Jasonwoo said.
Wang Jie, a professor at the Philosophy department of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, said: “Separate meals started a momentum during the SARS outbreak, but people seemed to forget it soon after the outbreak was over.”
But the expert thinks commonly, this “dining table revolution” carry out has a lot of advantage condition.
“In the past, most of them were based on appeals and guidance. With the formulation of a healthy China development strategy by the Central Committee in 2017, the Healthy China Action Plan (2019-2030) was further proposed in July 2019. As one of the healthy lifestyles, dining system has specific targets.
Zheng Linchang told reporters.
Civilized repast cannot flow in a gust of wind
Reporters learned in the interview, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have issued the corresponding meal plan.
On June 24, Shandong province issued a guide to catering and dining system, setting a “local standard” for the system.
In many catering enterprises across the country, the public chopsticks and spoons are placed in a conspicuous position.
How to live a healthy and civilized life?
Liu Xiaojie thinks, should start from key industry, key domain, key crowd.
“First of all, cafeterias at all levels will continue to introduce buffets, encouraging catering enterprises to use buffets in various banquets;
Secondly, encourage small and medium-sized catering enterprises to provide public chopsticks, spoons;
Thirdly, guide enterprises to design, produce and sell tableware and sanitary ware for family meals.
Finally, advocacy for foodborne disease transmission goes to schools, communities and businesses.”
Zheng Linchang further explained.
The reform of cultural customs is the biggest difficulty in the implementation of separate meal system.
Wang Jie analysis, there are material and spiritual reasons for this.
From the material point of view, as far as the catering enterprises are concerned, the implementation of separate meal system will increase the cost of human and material resources, and at the same time increase the amount of washing utensils.
For a private family, there are only a few people in a family and three meals a day. If each dish and soup is eaten separately, it will not only increase the cost but also be more cumbersome and make housework more difficult.
From a spiritual point of view, to change a social custom that has been practiced for thousands of years and to form a new custom requires the joint efforts of all social strata and continuous guidance.
The first step is to “target the symptoms” and “attack them one by one”.
“The government can make some proactive policies in a timely manner.
According to the actual situation, some policies to encourage the implementation of separate meals can be introduced in stages.
Recently, for example, Shanghai business committee, market supervision bureau jointly developed for Shanghai in the food service units dining management norms “, used to separate the tableware, places, people, processes, and so on each link all made the rules, and gives the four separate eating patterns: ‘dispatch type’ ‘on type’ ‘the dining-table centiliter invite type’ and ‘buffet style, to some extent, to satisfy the customer different needs, solve the problem of Chinese food is unfavorable use individual.”
Wangjie said.
And catering enterprises can also carry out some timely and appropriate service innovation.
“For some qualified catering enterprises, we can combine the actual situation of the enterprises and the market to explore the innovation of separate service at a lower cost.
For example, some catering enterprises have introduced the concept of “double chopsticks”, “different prices”, “artificial meal sets”, and even separate dishes for some dishes.
“Wang Jie told reporters.
How to make a healthy and civilized lifestyle a habit
From the kitchen table to kitchen waste, a healthy and civilized lifestyle also includes recycling.
Starting from the root of food, not only can avoid waste, reduce pollution, but also can protect the environment.
Shanghai has taken the lead in garbage classification, and Beijing, Shandong, Jiangsu and Hubei provinces have also introduced corresponding measures.
The reporter learned in the interview that garbage recycling classification and separate meal system in the process of promotion have had “halfway” experience.
How to make a healthy and civilized lifestyle a habit, According to Zheng, besides guidance and encouragement, coercion and restraint are also important.
“In some countries, different garbage bags need to be purchased, filled up and put in a special place, or they will be punished.
Some people will secretly throw away old TVS and other appliances, but the cost of recycling is too high.
At present, there are still no mandatory restrictions, such as mandatory meal sharing and mandatory classification. The timely use of mandatory restrictions also helps to develop habits.”
In addition to “block” the way, Wu Jian reminds, “thin” the action also cannot ignore.
In her opinion, the final formation of habits depends on the mobilization of the enthusiasm of every social subject.
“It is a good idea to know what is right and what is right. For example, the measures taken this time have helped people form good hygiene habits.
What is good for the society should be observed by everyone. To build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, everyone must pay for it.
“It has been proven that when you tell the public what kind of behavior is healthy, it is acceptable to the general public.”
Jasonwoo said.
