So what are the reasons for the dispute over prepared dishes, and what are the specific motives of China people's hostility?
1. Concerns about nutritional value
One of the main reasons why some people are skeptical about prefabricated dishes is their concern about their nutritional value. Because food additives such as additives, seasonings and preservatives may be used in the production process, some people worry that these substances may have a negative impact on health. In addition, in order to prolong the shelf life or enhance the taste, prefabricated vegetables often contain high content of salt, sugar and oil, which may also cause health problems such as obesity and chronic diseases.
2. Lack of personalized taste
Compared with cooking at home or going to a restaurant, one obvious disadvantage of prefabricated dishes is the lack of personalized taste. The production of prefabricated vegetables is usually oriented to scale and standardization. In order to adapt to consumers' taste preferences, generally recognized moderate flavor is usually adopted. This makes many people feel that the pre-cooked dishes lack individuality and umami taste, which can't satisfy their pursuit of delicious food.
3. Non-transparent food safety issues
Food safety has always been the focus of people's attention, and the production process of prefabricated vegetables often lacks transparency, which brings concern to consumers. It is difficult for them to determine the quality and source of raw materials used in prefabricated dishes, and it is impossible to know whether the production process meets the hygiene standards. Therefore, people have doubts about the food safety of prefabricated dishes, which has also become a major reason for their hostility to prefabricated dishes.
4. The influence of cultural traditions and cooking habits
Finally, another factor that causes hostility in China society is the influence of cultural traditions and cooking habits. China has a long history of cooking, and many families and individuals attach great importance to the freshness, cooking skills and flavor of food. For these people, prefabricated dishes can't satisfy their pursuit of traditional cooking, which leads to hostility towards them.
With people's increasing concern about health and food quality, the prefabricated vegetable industry needs to further improve the production technology, improve product quality and transparency, so as to reduce disputes and gain more consumers' recognition and support.
