Chapter 475 Edible Oil Pilot
After the commander and Meng Chuan chose a meal, they sat down face to face, "Xiao Meng, I remember that at that time, didn't you three junior graduate students study a food safety problem, how about it, did the research produce any results?" ā
Meng Chuan heard the military commander's question, and hurriedly put down the tableware, "Report chief, the three of us are studying the quality of military packaged food after it expires, and the specific experiment was carried out by Guo Zhi and Yue Xiuxiu, and now it has been basically completed, and the paper is also being revised, and it should be published after a while."

"Oh, it's good to be published, popularize the basic knowledge to the soldiers, this is also good for the soldiers, by the way, Xiao Meng, do you have any insights on this food safety issue, this meeting has also conveyed the spirit, including the point of food safety planning, this point, not only the local government, but also our army must grasp it more strictly."
Regarding the issue of food safety, Meng Chuan has his own idea, that is, the issue of genetically modified edible oil, but this involves the issue of money, and Meng Chuan doesn't know whether to say it or not.
As soon as the general saw Meng Chuan's face, he knew that Meng Chuan must have an idea, "Xiao Meng, if you have an idea, just say it, it's not feasible, listen to it first." ā
Anyway, this is just a conversation at the dinner table, not a formal report, so Meng Chuan doesn't shy away from anything, "Chief, look at this elbow, is it smooth and shiny, and you have an appetite when you look at it." ā
The commander nodded, "Well, it does look very appetizing, which proves that the chefs here are very good at cooking, but I'm old and can't eat such greasy things, I miss the porridge you used to make for me, but what does this have to do with food safety?" ā
Meng Chuan whispered: "General, have you heard of genetically modified food?" ā
The commander nodded, "I've heard of it, I seem to remember that our country doesn't grow genetically modified plants, isn't that the case?" ā
"Yes, yes, that's true, our Ministry of Agriculture has indeed issued such regulations, and strictly implemented them, but not planting, it doesn't mean that we can't get in touch, as far as I know, the edible oil in our grassroots army canteen is genetically modified oil."
When the army commander heard this genetically modified food, he immediately became serious, the state has explicitly banned the cultivation of genetically modified food, and the grassroots troops are still eating genetically modified oil, which is indeed a bit inappropriate, but he still doesn't know much about genetically modified food, and he doesn't dare to draw any conclusions casually, "Xiao Meng, you tell me in detail the difference between genetically modified oil and non-genetically modified oil." ā
"The most obvious difference is the price, the price of non-GMO oil is about one-third to one-half more expensive than the price of genetically modified oil."
The commander waved his hand, "Don't talk about the price, just talk about the problem of food safety, although there has always been a shortage of money in the army, but for the health of the soldiers, the money is not worth mentioning." ā
Meng Chuan saw that the commander asked directly about the point, so he went straight to the point, "Chief, the key to the problem is that up to now, with the existing technology, there is no difference between genetically modified oil and non-genetically modified oil, but after all, genetically modified oil has only been around for more than ten years, and no one can say whether there will be any problems in the future." ā
When the army commander heard Meng Chuan's words, he probably understood, "You mean that the harm of genetically modified oil has not been discovered yet, but think about it, if it is really discovered, the army will definitely not use this edible oil, but what you said is indeed a problem, after all, 'military grain and oil supply is no trivial matter', and what should be paid attention to should indeed be paid attention to." ā
"By the way, Xiao Meng, since you have an idea about this genetically modified oil, do you have specific data, although now the country has put the food safety plan into the five-year agenda, but this thing is not found to be harmful, if it is really implemented, the resistance is definitely not small, if you have specific data or something, say it, I will listen."
This specific data is the price, which is the first thing Meng Chuan mentioned, "Chief, for this genetically modified edible oil, I did a special survey, I collected the prices of various brands of genetically modified edible oil and non-genetically modified edible oil, and then compared the price, and found that the price of non-genetically modified oil is one-third to one-half more expensive than genetically modified oil." ā
"But, chief, you must not overestimate this price, because the reasonable amount of edible oil per person per day is only twenty-three grams. However, if we usually eat oil, it basically reaches 47 grams per capita. Let's calculate according to 47 grams per capita, the amount of edible oil for a soldier in a year is only 17 kilograms, that is, about 300 yuan, which is only 100 yuan more expensive than eating genetically modified oil, while the food standard of a soldier a year is 7,000 yuan, which I think should be within the acceptable range. ā
Meng Chuan's algorithm is a small calculation, it is average to the head, this is really nothing, the army commander also has his own algorithm, "There are 50,000 people in his group army, and each person has an extra 100 yuan of expenses, which is 5 million extra expenses per year, 5 million is really not a lot of money for a group army, and it may not be as valuable as a tank company, but the oil eaten every year is eaten for no reason, which is really a little distressing to think about." ā
However, this food safety plan has indeed been put on the agenda, and I still have to pay attention to it, "Xiao Meng, about this matter of eating non-GMO oil, I would like to ask you to help me sort it out, if I can, I can bring this issue back to the party committee of our group army for discussion, in addition, I can also apply to my superiors for this batch of expenses, and strive to implement our army as a pilot, you see if it will work." ā
Meng Chuan didn't expect that one of his own ideas could make the army commander pay so much attention, and hurriedly agreed: "Chief, regarding the issue of this soldier eating non-GMO oil, I have prepared it three months ago, I have written all the documents, and I have put them in the dormitory, if you need it, I will go and bring it to you later." ā
The army commander saw that Meng Chuan had already prepared, and he was also a little impressed by Meng Chuan, and said approvingly: "Okay, then let's hurry up and eat, and go to your dormitory after eating." ā
However, the commander just wanted to eat it, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Meng, what kind of oil did you say this dish was fried?" ā
Meng Chuan first looked at the army commander in surprise, and then suddenly realized, let alone the headquarters canteen, even if it is a regiment-level organ canteen, it is impossible to use genetically modified cooking oil to fry vegetables, "Chief, I can assure you that the dishes here are definitely fried with non-genetically modified oil." ā
