"A pair of chopsticks can eat the whole world" can have a rest.

The full implementation of the use of public chopsticks and spoons is mainly to prevent and reduce the spread of cross-infection and food-borne diseases caused by * * * meals to the maximum extent, and to cut off the route of disease transmission. During the COVID-19 epidemic, there were many family gatherings, and all infected people had close contact with patients at the dinner table. From the perspective of virus transmission, everyone eats a dish with their own chopsticks, and saliva is integrated into the food, so the virus is easy to spread among diners. Therefore, the system of public chopsticks, public spoons and separate meals plays an important role in epidemic prevention and control.

The system of sharing meals with chopsticks and spoons is the result of historical evolution, but it is not easy to change old habits. I remember that during the SARS period, Academician Zhong Nanshan advocated using separate meals instead of shared meals, and using public chopsticks instead of private chopsticks to reduce the chance of illness from mouth to mouth. But why is it that after 17 years, the phenomenon of "eating the world with a pair of chopsticks" is still common? The reason lies in the cultural significance and emotional connotation of China people at the dinner table. China people pay attention to the atmosphere when eating, so it is more lively and harmonious for everyone to get together at a table. The younger generation shows respect and love for their elders by picking up food, and friends clink glasses with food to show intimacy, between superiors and subordinates, and so on. So as to strengthen understanding and emotional communication one by one. If you propose to eat together or use public chopsticks at the dinner table, it will be misunderstood as "disgusting, alienated and different". Under the epidemic situation, this concept has been put on the agenda again in many parts of the country, so it is imperative to use public chopsticks and spoons.

It is particularly important to renew ideas before forming habits. Public chopsticks and spoons have never been a person's business, and should become the universal understanding and value pursuit of the whole society. It is difficult to get immediate results in a short time, so the publicity of the concept of public chopsticks and spoons should be long-term. The news media and relevant departments should strengthen the publicity and popularization of civilized dining, guide the public to change their concepts, and let everyone truly realize the necessity and importance of public chopsticks and spoons; Catering service units shall provide consumers with public tableware such as chopsticks and spoons with obvious differences; The market supervision department can include the provision of public chopsticks and spoons in the hotel rating standards, and so on.

In addition, individuals should also strengthen self-discipline, and family dinners or large banquets can be set up in the form of separate meals or buffets. Similarly, schools should also strengthen the education of public chopsticks and spoons, so that children can develop healthy eating habits from an early age, bring good habits back to their families, and make the new trend of civilized and good dining gradually become a climate.

Male chopsticks and spoons are not only a pair of chopsticks and a spoon, but also a kind of peace and peace of mind. During the epidemic, good health habits are better than all panaceas. Don't let small details of civilization miss major health events. Let's join hands to issue a "challenge book" to old habits, so that the dining table will be healthier and more civilized.
