Chapter 317 Genetically Modified Oils

Today, the food in the infantry battalion is very rich, not only stir-fried vegetables, but also fried fish. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Meng Chuan noticed that the two warriors were busy in front of a large cauldron, first pouring a few buckets of oil into the pot, then heating it, and then throwing in the fish wrapped in flour and starting to fry it.

Meng Chuan was very interested in this fried fish, so he stopped and watched, fried fish is definitely a meat dish, and in many cases, the price of fish is not much more expensive than vegetables, and it is definitely a better food to supplement nutrition for the soldiers.

Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu saw Meng Chuan stop in front of the oil pot, and they also walked over one after another, "Meng Chuan, have you found anything?" ā€

Meng Chuan shook his head, "I'm still watching." ā€

The two of them had no interest in frying fish, and the fishy smell of the fish was not particularly clean, so they were even more reluctant to stay, so they went elsewhere to watch other things.

At this time, a soldier accidentally knocked over the empty oil pot, and was just about to bend down to pick it up, Meng Chuan said: "You are busy, I'll pick it up." ā€

So he bent down to help up the empty oil pot that had been poured, and when he saw soybean oil written on the oil pot, Meng Chuan immediately became energetic, this can't be genetically modified oil.

Because Meng Chuan saw the difference between genetically modified oil and non-genetically modified oil in the review materials in the graduate school entrance examination, and also focused on describing it there, Meng Chuan was very impressed by genetically modified oil.

In our ordinary life, a lot of soybean oil is genetically modified oil, because the domestic economic conditions are here, genetically modified soybean oil was once very popular in the market.

The reason why genetically modified oil is cheaper is that genetically modified food changes the gene sequence of the plant and transfers some other plant genes into soybean plants, thereby increasing the yield and oil yield of soybeans.

Although genetically modified food has not been found to be harmful to the human body in the existing scientific research, this can only show that the development of genetically modified technology is short and is developing, because genetically modified oil has not been tested for a long time, so if you eat it for a long time, no one knows what will go wrong.

Because there is no clear evidence that genetically modified oil is harmful, and the benefits brought by genetically modified soybeans are indeed high, it is completely possible to put them on the market according to the formal procedures.

If ordinary non-GMO soybean oil is 100 yuan a barrel, maybe genetically modified oil is 50 yuan a barrel, which is twice as cheap, if it is an ordinary people's family, which one will you choose?

There is no doubt that many people will choose genetically modified soybean oil, which is cheap and affordable, so why not buy it.

However, genetically modified technology, from the development to the use of less than half a century, the development of the time is too short, no one knows what the consequences of long-term consumption of genetically modified food will be, so Meng Chuan still recommends that everyone usually try to eat peanut oil and sunflower oil, both of which are non-genetically modified, and it is relatively healthy to eat.

The soldier looked at Meng Chuan and was stunned at the oil drum, and said: "Comrade Lieutenant, we have no problem with this oil, we all buy it from regular manufacturers, and the military rations in the army, the manufacturers don't dare to sell us fake oil." ā€

Meng Chuan put down the oil drum and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, by the way, is your fish fried, give me a piece." ā€

The soldier immediately took out a piece of the basket and gave it to Meng Chuan, "Comrade, be careful of the burn." ā€

Meng Chuan blew it and took a bite, it tasted good, but when he thought that this was genetically modified oil, which might bring hidden dangers to the soldiers' bodies, he couldn't put his mind at ease, so he walked out of the back kitchen quickly.

Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi watched for a long time, but they didn't see anything useful, it seems that the dream is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, I thought that I could find the problem as soon as I arrived at the grassroots level, but I didn't see anything useful after a long time, it seems that I will have to discuss it with Meng Chuan later.

The two were about to go to find Meng Chuan, but they found that Meng Chuan walked out with a piece of fish meat, so they immediately followed and shouted, "Meng Chuan, why are you going?" ā€

Meng Chuan walked out of the back kitchen, only then did he stop, and beckoned Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi to come over, "Come, taste some fish and meat by yourself." ā€

As soon as the two of them saw that there was fried fish to eat, they immediately took it and ate it, Meng Chuan asked, "How does the fish taste?" ā€

The two didn't think there was anything special, "It's similar to the school cafeteria, and there's no difference between not eating it." ā€

Meng Chuan said: "These fish are fried in genetically modified oil. ā€

"Ah, genetically modified oil?" Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu both graduated from food safety, so they naturally know about genetically modified oil, although this oil is not harmful to health, but no one knows what harm long-term consumption will bring.

Guo Zhi hurriedly said: "Meng Chuan, you are still our captain this time, knowing that this is fried in genetically modified oil, and returning it to us to eat." ā€

Meng Chuan hurriedly sighed, "Let's go, let's go to my room and say, there are a lot of people coming and going here, don't let the soldiers hear it, it will have a bad impact." ā€

The two quickly followed Meng Chuan back to the room, Meng Chuan said: "It turns out that when I was at the grassroots level of the army, I didn't pay attention to this oil, and I only found out today that the grassroots use of our grassroots is basically genetically modified soybean oil." ā€

Ah, Yue Xiuxiu exclaimed: "But eating too much genetically modified oil may cause harm, many developed countries have banned the sale of genetically modified oil, which shows that in the long run, this oil should not be conducive to long-term consumption." ā€

Guo Zhi shook his head, "Since this oil can flow into the market, it proves that in the existing scientific experiments, the harm of this oil cannot be proved, and this oil is really cheap, and there is a lot of market space in our country." ā€

"This principle is the same as cigarettes, everyone knows that cigarettes are harmful, but there is no way to prohibit it, because this is not a one-step thing, the poor have the poor man's way of living, the rich have the rich man's way of living, if the economic conditions are a little better, it is estimated that no one will eat genetically modified soybean oil."

Meng Chuan nodded and said: "Guo Zhi is right, but I remember that our country has issued a policy that genetically modified grain is not allowed to be planted and genetically modified soybeans are not allowed to be planted, but a condition has been opened to allow the import of genetically modified soybean oil, which is estimated to take care of the lives of the people, after all, the price of non-genetically modified soybean oil is a bit high, and it is indeed not found that the harm caused by genetically modified soybean oil is not found, so after comprehensive consideration, genetically modified soybean oil will be allowed to be sold in the market." ā€

Yue Xiuxiu asked, "Meng Chuan, do you mean that we want to conduct research on this genetically modified oil?" ā€

Meng Chuan shook his head, "We are just ordinary graduate students, and it is not reliable to study the genetic sequence or something, and I can't study it, so I suggest that we can write a paper on the topic of banning the use of genetically modified oil in the army." ā€

Guo Zhi heard Meng Chuan's words, and exclaimed: "Meng Chuan, the title of your dissertation is a bit unrealistic, do you know how many people there are in our army, if all of them eat non-GMO oil, how much will it increase the burden of military spending, I estimate that even if this topic is written, eighty percent will not have a good result, and if you don't do it, you will be reprimanded by others for not knowing how to thrive, aren't you usually quite frugal, how can you think of such a topic, it is completely thankless, so I oppose this dissertation topic." ā€

Meng Chuan shook his head, "The necessary economy is to cultivate virtue, but I will definitely not approve of this kind of economy that may bring physical harm to officers and soldiers." ā€

Guo Zhi immediately retorted: "But in fact, under the current scientific conditions, the harm of genetically modified oil has not been found, and the state has not made clear regulations to prohibit the consumption of this oil, so I think you are completely unnecessary." ā€

Yue Xiuxiu saw that the opinions of the two team members were not in agreement, and immediately said: "Guo Zhi, you are also a graduate of food safety, you should know what genetically modified oil is, although no harm has been found at present, but this has not been verified for a long time, and many developed countries have banned the sale of this genetically modified oil, which can be seen from here." ā€

Guo Zhi hurriedly said: "I understand what you said. But this project is definitely a thankless job, so I suggest that we can observe for a few more days, if there is a better topic, why should we study this topic, I think you don't want to waste this time, the time that was finally applied for, if the project has little effect, or even is opposed, it is really a waste of this opportunity. ā€

Yue Xiuxiu also took this situation into account, so she said to Meng Chuan: "What Guo Zhi said also makes sense, classmate Meng Chuan, otherwise let's take a look first, this topic can be used as a backup topic, and we can also study it when we are fine." ā€

Meng Chuan nodded, "Okay, I respect your opinions and agree not to regard this topic as the primary topic, but I think this topic must also be studied in a key way, this is for the sake of officers and soldiers, even if we are misunderstood, we must do it, we are already food safety professionals, if we don't do it, let alone let others do it." ā€

The two heard Meng Chuan's words and said, "Okay, let's record this topic first, and then study it." ā€

Because this subject involves interests, the soldiers' food expenses are so little, if the edible oil reform is carried out, the impact may not be good, and it is likely to be criticized for not knowing how to save, Yue Xiuxiu and Guo Zhi have seen examples in this regard, so they are not in favor of this topic.

But Meng Chuan thinks that what should be corrected must be corrected, as long as it is for the good of the officers and soldiers, then it must be done, otherwise what do we graduate students do, the state gives allowances, tutors give leave, and the leaders of the troops accept them, if they encounter problems and do not solve them, who can they be worthy of.

It's just that after all, a few people have just come down, and it is indeed a waste of time to keep chasing this problem to study, so you still have to observe and observe first, and the more problems you solve, the more valuable it will be this time.

Opinions are unified, that's good, Meng Chuan looked at the time, it's almost time to eat, "Let's go, everyone is hungry, hurry up and eat, and come back in the evening to continue analyzing the problem." ā€
