Experts stressed that there are five dietary "misunderstandings" among China people, so it is urgent to guide food consumption scientifically. These dietary "misunderstandings" include:
First, emphasize the taste in the cooking process, with more oil and more salt. Each person consumes an average of 30 to 50 grams of oil every day. Many residents directly pour oil into the pot in a five-liter oil drum, which is often excessive. There are not a few families in which a family of three can eat five liters of oil a month.
Second, urban and rural residents generally pay more attention to diet and nutrition, knowing that they should eat more vegetables and less meat. However, most family vegetables are cooked mainly by stir-frying, which costs more oil than stew. Such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, generally use 50 grams of oil; Vegetable fried flowers, fried onions, and fried green peppers also use about 50 grams of oil. Many people think that eating meat oil is not good, and it doesn't matter if you eat more vegetarian oil.
Third, although Chinese food consumes more vegetables than western food, restaurants and canteens also use more oil for cooking. It is a drawback of Chinese food that after eating vegetables, the bottom of the plate is full of oil. Residents in the north are "heavy-mouthed" and eat more salt, some even as high as 13 to 15 grams a day.
4. American fast food is called "junk food" and "energy bomb" by nutritionists because of its high calorie, high fat, high protein, low minerals, low vitamins and low dietary fiber, especially because it is addictive and has a bad influence on children's eating habits, but most parents don't think so.
5. "Westernization" of residents' diet structure, changes in food consumption demand and sharp increase in meat consumption. At present, the meat consumption of urban residents in developed areas has reached 46 kilograms per capita, which has surpassed that of South Korea and Japan.
Experts call on the government to guide the whole nation to consume food scientifically and reasonably, and to further adjust and optimize the food structure according to the national conditions on the basis of adhering to the traditional dietary structure. And the "misunderstanding" of diet is not swept away, and the "civilized disease" is hard to get rid of.
Experts pointed out that it is necessary to inherit the philosophical connotation of Chinese traditional diet and nutrition, "eat according to the cause and eat according to the syndrome differentiation", adhere to the principle of food biodiversity, pay attention to the chronic safety of food, and study the potential impact of unbalanced diet structure on human health; As soon as possible to develop a scientific and reasonable best dietary spectrum for the people.
