In fact, my point of view is in stages. For most people's life trajectory, food should come first, and health should come later.

Our generation, born 70 years ago, has a deep and sincere desire for delicious food. The result of the 30 years of reform and opening up is that this generation has quickly come from an era of extreme material scarcity to an era of great material abundance.

.

Let me tell you three short stories for comparison.

Story 1: When I was a child, I felt that I was lacking everything to eat. At that time, there was not much difference between people, and there was no difference between families.

You need meat stamps to buy meat, and you need food stamps to buy rice. All economic models are planned economies. I don’t judge and evaluate whether they are right or wrong, but it is true that many things are lacking, so a problem arises. Don’t talk about snacks at home.

No, the protein that children most need to supplement during the growth and development stage, such as eggs and meat, is extremely lacking. These are daily luxuries on the dining table of ordinary people.

Why do children need protein supplements?

!

Of course one of them eats less and is greedy!

Another is that protein is necessary for the growth and development of the brain and body.

Otherwise, it will greatly affect the growth of body and intelligence.

But each family’s consumption pattern determines their lifestyle choices within the limited financial resources. Growing up, I felt that the two most expensive expenses at home were laying railroad tracks. On rare family holidays, my parents would

We tried our best to take a 2,000-kilometer train for three days and four nights back to the mainland to visit our grandparents. My other parents valued our intellectual investment since childhood. I remember the times when it was rare for other people to find a few books. Our family

Just several bookshelves full of books.

This consumption pattern meant that the family had very little money to spend on buying more snacks, eggs, and meat, so at that time it felt like being able to eat a fried poached egg was a luxury.

Story 2: A few years ago, my relatives from the United States came to China to visit. They were already standard American ABCs. In addition to being able to simply understand Mandarin, they could not speak it clearly. After walking around in big cities in China, it was natural.

They would follow us to supermarkets, markets and shopping malls, and they would all express the same emotion that China's current material world is too rich and full.

They couldn’t understand why there were so many types of goods, and there were so many Chinese people that they lamented that they couldn’t buy them all.

Story 3: The Chinese New Year period is of course the golden week for relaxation and consumption. I took my family to the newly opened Shoppingmall next to my home, and then chose a new and awesome buffet restaurant for lunch. When I entered the restaurant, my God!

There is a dazzling array of food, only you can’t think of it, and there is nothing you can’t eat.

Chinese food, Western food, Japanese food, Korean food, etc., seafood, meat, delicacies, and seafood are all available.

People in the restaurant are feasting. I think besides the delicious food, they want to make the most of the money spent on this buffet.

Of course, I am not exempt from vulgarity. When I was eating a lot, I suddenly had an epiphany that made me feel very guilty. I was consuming precious food without restraint, I was greedily demanding too much, and I was using my own money.

Make a bet with your body.

Do I really need to overeat these foods?

!

But my daughter just ate a moderate amount and said she was full, without taking any more food. When I looked around, many children behaved in this way.

Oh my God!

Thanks to the fact that they live in an era of material abundance, they won't grow up to be horrible greedy eaters like us.

I think it is sad when a group of people are asking for more than they want to eat. When a group of people only want to have enough to eat, then it is not surprising how much change and promotion their creativity and spiritual growth will bring to society in the future.

It goes without saying.

The current Chinese people are not in an era of material scarcity, but an era of super abundance. The food in many domestic cafeterias has been far behind similar foreign restaurants. It is estimated that people from any developed country will be disappointed when they go to Chinese cafeterias.

Staring sideways in shock.

We should consume and ask for things in a controlled manner, regardless of financial income.

People should not place themselves in the position of being the hegemon of a society or even the earth and spend excessively. Even if your financial ability can support it, it is a kind of tragedy that does not understand respect.

The theorem of freedom = ability-desire is eternal. We want to usher in a high degree of freedom in life. The degree of control of ability and energy is certainly important, but if desires cannot be cultivated or increasingly controlled, then the ability to obtain freedom and happiness should be

This is a false proposition. The more our abilities and desires increase, it becomes a stumbling block to our free life, making it difficult for us to move forward.

In fact, there is no conflict between food and health. We should calm down and ask ourselves what do I want?

!

Just follow the direction of your heart and follow the footsteps of freedom.
