Knife, fork and chopsticks slogan

In the history of more than 5,000 years, China has produced countless cultural histories, both traditional customs and some things in daily life, which have a very old history.

In the life of China people, chopsticks, an ancient thing, are the most common. Their own chopsticks have been in China for more than 3,000 years.

From ancient ivory chopsticks to bronze chopsticks, and now the most common wooden chopsticks, this food tool has bred hundreds of millions of people, and the birth of chopsticks also marks the wisdom of ancient civilization in China, and everyone in China is proud of using chopsticks.

Every holiday, the family will start to change the dishes and chopsticks. After all, wooden chopsticks have a short service life.

There are different opinions about wooden chopsticks, but there are also some shortcomings?

With the accelerated pace of modern life, disposable chopsticks do not know when they began to appear.

Indeed, disposable chopsticks provide great convenience to everyone in life. Whether it's a barbecue stall or a takeaway, you will see disposable chopsticks.

As a disposable chopstick, it wastes a lot of resources every year. In addition, the recycling rate of disposable chopsticks is low and it is basically impossible to recycle them. Because of this, many trees are wasted.

However, there are many inconveniences in not using wooden chopsticks, especially metal chopsticks.

As we all know, metal chopsticks are easy to slide down when holding vegetables, and metal materials are easy to conduct heat, so they always feel very hot when eating hot food, such as hot pot. Of course, metal chopsticks have a good advantage when eating barbecue.

Is the British media "worried"? It is considered that China wastes resources by using chopsticks, so it is suggested to use a knife and fork instead.

According to a short article in the British "Media Telegraph", people in China should ban chopsticks and use knives and forks instead.

In fact, this statement has been vomited by many people, because no matter what chopsticks are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not that they can be changed. Besides, it is annoying for us to abandon tradition and adopt western-style knives and forks.

What will happen if people really use knives and forks when eating?

Maybe when you eat hot pot, you are rummaging around with a knife and fork; When eating freshwater fish, you can't pick holes with a knife and fork; Put it on the plate with a knife and fork. ...

However, in this article, Britain also listed the waste of resources and environmental pollution caused by making chopsticks one by one, and said: 65.438+0.4 billion China people use chopsticks for more than tens of billions of times every year, which leads to the continuous felling of trees.

In fact, this practice will waste resources to a certain extent, but most disposable chopsticks on the market are made of renewable bamboo, which saves resources more than metal knives and forks. After all, metals are non-renewable resources.

Do we really have to give up the "chopstick culture"?

In the article, British media also said that China should learn from South Korea and use metal chopsticks. Many netizens said that the British media is really "too caring". China has achieved remarkable results in afforestation and sand control in recent years, and is not afraid of these renewable resources.

China has a large population base. Even if a pair of metal chopsticks is about 30 grams, multiplied by 65.438+0.4 billion, it means that it needs 42 billion grams of metal, that is, 42,000 tons of metal. Isn't this a waste of resources?

Besides, we haven't counted some spare chopsticks in restaurants and supermarkets, and some missing metal chopsticks. What's more, if China people really use knives and forks, the quality of knives and forks will definitely be three or four times heavier than metal chopsticks.

Presumably, everyone can calculate this account. In order to reduce the use of resources, non-renewable resources are particularly important. Shouldn't British people give up knives and forks and use chopsticks to protect resources? Of course, you don't have to waste tree resources and metal resources, so it's good to advise them to learn from Indians.
