One evening in 1964, Qian Xuesen was having dinner at home. He was immersed in the enjoyment of the food when he suddenly stopped his chopsticks and stared at the meal in front of him with a frown. He shouted, "There's something wrong with this meal!"
The family was startled by his sudden shout and gathered around. They looked at Qian Xuesen's serious expression and couldn't help but feel nervous. Qian Xuesen pointed to the dishes on the table and listed their problems one by one: "This dish has too much salt, that soup is too salty, and this meat is not cooked enough......"
The family listened to his description and was a little scrambling for a while. They hurriedly readjusted the menu in an attempt to make up for their previous oversight. However, Qian Xuesen did not seem satisfied, and he shook his head, saying that the changes still did not meet his requirements.
In the confusion and incomprehension of his family, Qian Xuesen began to explain his concerns. It turns out that he has been researching food safety and nutritional health issues recently. He is well aware of the importance of food quality to human health, so he has strict requirements for each dish.
He pointed out that while these dishes may look appealing, there are actually some potential problems. Too much salt can cause high blood pressure, too salty soup can increase the burden on the kidneys, and undercooked meat may contain harmful substances such as bacteria and parasites.
After listening to his explanation, the family suddenly realized. They realized that Qian Xuesen's vigilance was not an unwarranted accusation, but his deep understanding and concern for healthy eating. They began to reflect on their shortcomings in the cooking process and decided to pay more attention to the quality and nutrition of their food in the future.
From that day on, Qian Xuesen not only paid attention to the country's scientific and technological undertakings, but also began to actively advocate the concept of healthy eating. He uses his influence to educate the public about food safety and nutrition, and helps people establish the right concept of eating. This move not only improved the eating habits of his family, but also made a positive contribution to the healthy food culture of the society.
This story not only shows Qian Xuesen's keen observation and rigorous attitude as a scientist, but also shows his deep concern for the health of his family and the public. It reminds us that in our daily lives, we should always pay attention to the quality and safety of food, develop good eating habits, and lay a solid foundation for the health of ourselves and our families.
