A few days ago, while on a business trip, I had the opportunity to read an article by Mr. Zhu Yi, Associate Professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University, published in the Global Times. In this article, Mr. Zhu proposed a series of arguments suggesting that prepared meals, as long as they meet certain standards, should be promoted as the primary food for children. At first glance, this argument may seem reasonable. However, I believe that Mr. Zhu, whether intentionally or unintentionally, has sidestepped a crucial environmental issue: the plastic pollution associated with prepared meal packaging, which is a major concern that cannot be ignored. Prepared meals, also known as pre-made or ready-made meals, are pre-cooked and packaged food items designed for convenient consumption. For sure, they offer busy individuals a quick and hassle-free dining solution. But, the production and packaging of prepared meals involve ext
