? It is not safe for children to consume prepared vegetables for a long period of time, and there is no guarantee for nutritional health.
Recently, there have been more and more controversies about "pre-prepared food" in schools, which has triggered widespread concern in the community. In the netizens' widespread concern, there are many voices of opposition. In my opinion, the netizens are not only on the "prefabricated dishes" resistance, but more reflect the concern for the campus food safety and children's healthy growth. Here, we will talk about the pre-prepared dishes of those things.
Prepared dishes, also known as prepared food, generally refers to various types of agricultural, livestock, poultry, aquatic products as raw materials, with seasonings and other auxiliary materials, by the pre-selection, modulation and other processes, processed into semi-finished or finished products.
Commonly speaking, the pre-prepared dishes are also called cooking packages, which are equipped with various auxiliary ingredients as needed, and may use food additives, and are characterized by a long shelf life and convenient consumption. In terms of type, prepared dishes are generally categorized into 4 types, ready-to-eat food, ready-to-heat food, ready-to-cook food, and ready-to-mix food.
Generally speaking, prepared dishes need to be stored or transported under cold chain conditions for consumers or catering processors to eat after simple heating or cooking.
From the national level, as a kind of convenient food, pre-prepared food has gradually been emphasized and promoted by the state in recent years. This year, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "National Development and Reform Commission on the restoration and expansion of consumption measures notice" (State Council letter [2023] No. 70), requiring the cultivation of "breeding base + central kitchen + cold chain logistics + catering stores model, tapping the potential of the market for prepared dishes, accelerate the construction of prepared dish base, fully reflect the principles of safety, nutrition, health, improve the quality of catering and distribution standardization level, promote the construction of prepared dish base, fully reflect the principles of safety, nutrition and health, enhance the quality of catering and distribution standardization level, promote the use of prepared dishes. catering quality and distribution standardization level, and promote transparent kitchens so that consumers can eat with confidence.
From the long-term development of the prefabricated dishes, it is a head connected to the field, a head connected to the thousands of households table, to promote the integration of the development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, to meet the consumption upgrade has an important role.
? The implementation of prefabricated dishes, in line with modern consumer demand and lifestyle. With the fast-paced development of society, people's requirements for food have gradually become diversified and convenient. As a kind of convenient food, pre-prepared food can meet people's demand for health, deliciousness and efficiency in their busy lives. Whether it's cooking at home or dining in a restaurant, prepared food is a simple, fast and nutritious solution.
? The implementation of prepared dishes is conducive to solving food safety issues. Over the past period of time, food safety issues have occurred from time to time, causing great concern for people's dietary safety. The implementation of prepared dishes can strengthen the supervision of food production and processing to ensure the quality and safety of ingredients. Compared with traditional on-site cooking, prepared dishes can better control the hygiene standards of food during the production process, reduce the risk of food contamination, and protect the health of consumers.
? The implementation of pre-prepared dishes is conducive to reducing food waste. In the traditional dietary pattern, the imperfections in the procurement, storage and cooking of ingredients have led to a large amount of food waste. The production process of pre-prepared food can better control the amount of ingredients used and the way of preservation, reduce food waste, and achieve the purpose of resource conservation and environmental protection. The implementation of pre-prepared food can bring more varieties of choices and innovations, which can also promote the development and upgrading of the food industry while meeting the needs of consumers.
As the saying goes, there are pros and cons. On the whole, prepared food meets the consumption needs and lifestyle of modern people, and can satisfy people's demand for health, deliciousness and efficiency in their busy lives. The basic audience of prepared food is basically for those specific people who do not have time to cook food due to their busy schedules.
The emergence of pre-prepared food is, frankly speaking, a fast food solution, i.e., using the least amount of time to satisfy the basic needs of people's taste buds.
On the whole, the safety of prepared food can be guaranteed, but long-term consumption is a threat to health, especially for the campus student population, which is in the stage of growth and development, long-term consumption of prepared food, there may be nutritional deficiencies, increase the risk of chronic diseases and other problems, which is not conducive to the growth and development of campus students.
Long-term consumption of prepared vegetables can lead to weight gain. Many pre-prepared dishes are high in fat and not low in calories in order to appeal to the public's taste and for a longer shelf life. If children consume these high oil and salt foods for a long period of time, it will lead to weight gain and cause the body organs to be involved, which in turn will induce related diseases.
? Long-term consumption of prepared dishes can lead to malnutrition. Usually, by the limitations of the type of ingredients, the nutrition of the pre-prepared dish is more single, although carbohydrates, protein and fat can be very good to ensure that the vitamins, minerals, and biologically active ingredients, but it is more difficult to retain, and some pre-prepared dishes in order to be able to save longer, but also in the dish variety to add preservatives, although the regular purchase of pre-prepared dishes in the Although the preservatives in the regular purchased prepared vegetables are within the national safety standards, if the children consume them for a long time, it will lead to malnutrition and other symptoms, posing a hidden danger to the development of the body.
Long-term consumption of prepared vegetables increases the risk of chronic diseases. In order to pursue the taste, some of the fat intake in some of the pre-prepared dishes, will increase the risk of high blood fat; pre-prepared dishes in the salt intake of excessive, will increase the risk of hypertension and other chronic diseases, this is not to be ignored, especially for the already have chronic diseases, and kidney problems of the patients, high oil and high salt of the pre-prepared dishes can not be touched, do not touch. If children consume them over a long period of time, they will be at increased risk of developing chronic diseases.
As the saying goes, the healthy development of children is the primary responsibility of society. Introducing pre-prepared dishes into schools may bring a series of health problems to children. Imagine, the industrialized assembly line on the mass production of prepared dishes once into the campus, become the children's daily mainstream diet, will bring a lot of potential, unknown health risks, and if the school to provide prepared dishes children long-term eat bad, or can not eat, not only may lead to their stunted growth, but also on the children's physical and mental health to cause far-reaching effects, therefore, the prepared dishes into the campus to be widely consulted with parents Therefore, parents should be widely consulted on the introduction of pre-prepared dishes into schools. In fact, the parents and netizens are not just on the pre-prepared dishes into the campus resistance, more reflect the campus food safety, as well as the children's healthy growth of care and concern.
