Meal sharing system during epidemic period

The catering system is a kind of catering style and catering culture, which is also developing and progressing in constant changes. The COVID-19 epidemic has once again sounded the alarm for us, and it is also an opportunity for us to reshape civilized eating habits. The urgent task is to let the civilized habits such as public chopsticks, public spoons, and meal-sharing system "serve" and promote the meal-sharing system in the whole society. Eating separately has at least the following advantages:

(1) Separate meals are safer. Separate meals can block the mutual infection of viruses and bacteria in the oral cavity, reduce cross-infection and reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases and food-borne diseases. Especially during the prevention and control period in COVID-19, the separate meal system can effectively reduce the transmission route of the virus and prevent infection.

(2) Separate meals are more nutritious. Separate meals can be prepared according to the nutrition required by everyone for each meal, which is conducive to a more scientific diet and balanced nutrition, and has a far-reaching impact on effectively preventing and delaying the occurrence of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer.

(3) Less waste in sharing meals. Eating according to one's own appetite and needs, one for each person, can effectively restrain eating and drinking, reduce extravagance and waste, promote a good social atmosphere change and live in harmony with the environment.

(4) promoting technological change. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the catering industry in China has been severely impacted. After the epidemic, consumers' consumption habits and concepts will undergo profound changes, paying more attention to scientific diet and health. This is bound to put forward higher requirements for catering enterprises, especially Chinese food enterprises. The separate meal system puts forward new requirements for cooking methods, quantification, utensils and reducing the use of oil, salt and sugar, which will promote the modernization of the catering industry and be more conducive to internationalization and social development.
