Food safety is still a matter of great concern to people.
Especially in the past two years, there have been more and more pre-made dishes.
From take-out to dine-in, the probability of encountering pre-made dishes is increasing day by day.
Nowadays, when you search for keywords, you will always see a lot of debate.
Is it healthy or not, can it be eaten, should it exist?
The growing controversy is similar to the "plant-based meat" of previous years.
Plant-based meat is advertised as healthier, but the taste and price cause complaints.
Many people bluntly said:
Why don't you eat ready-made meat, but eat "fake meat"?
In fact, whether it is pre-made dishes or plant-based meat, the center of the dispute is similar.
Our food is becoming less and less natural.
Industrial processing has penetrated into all aspects of daily diet.
So, can such "man-made" things reassure us?
In fact, we are not the only ones who have such problems.
In foreign countries, "artificial food" is becoming more and more mainstream in the market.
A recent new drama directly focuses on this.
Today, Uncle Yu will take you to see what the secret is-
Dominant Species
Dominant species
The male and female protagonists of this play are very eye-catching.
The heroine, Han Xiaozhou.
No matter what role you play, you will fall in love at first sight.
Last year, he shined with "Super Aliens".
staged middle-aged love with Zhao Yincheng, which made people stumble enough.
This time, Han Xiaozhou has no superpowers, but he has the ability to make money.
She plays the role of the big boss of a biotech company.
Whether it is financial resources or strength, it can be regarded as a real top.
Male lead, Zhu Zhixun.
In recent years, it has also been frequently out of the circle with various popular models.
From the box office hit "Walking with God" to the Netflix hit drama "Kingdom", and then to last year's "Unofficial Action", the popularity is getting higher and higher.
In this play, he plays a veteran.
Not smiling, but thoughtful, quite able to fight.
Moreover, he is also the heroine's personal bodyguard.
Needless to say, this pair of handsome guys and beauties CP Uncle Yu first kowtowed.
In addition to the two leading actors, the most noteworthy is screenwriter Lee so-yeon.
Seven years ago, she wrote "The Secret Forest" and it became an instant hit.
The brilliant character design, delicate emotional core, and gripping storyline are considered by many viewers to be a masterpiece.
After that, Lee so-yeon wrote "Life" and "Secret Forest 2" one after another.
The former is a medical theme, and the results are equally impressive.
The latter is a new story told by the original team.
The word of mouth is still strong, and it has successfully made the "Secret Forest" series firmly on the altar.
Therefore, Lee so-yeon's new drama "Dominating Species" has also made many people have high hopes.
And the production of the series has also received a lot of investment from the capital boss Disney.
Let's see if this time, screenwriter Li can create another myth.
The story of this drama sets that human society has entered the era of artificial cultivated meat.
Yoon Liberty (Han Hyo-joo)'s biotechnology company has almost monopolized the entire market with artificial meat.
Not only does it taste the same as real animal meat, but the price is also more affordable.
Koreans are also fighting hard to achieve beef freedom.
However, Yoon's vision doesn't stop there.
She also further expanded the company's business footprint.
From existing artificial livestock meat, to artificial seafood and a range of others.
In the future, we even want to make artificial grains.
If Yoon's vision of freedom comes true, then humanity can truly achieve full freedom to eat.
You don't have to work hard to cultivate the fields and raise livestock.
Don't even keep killing for the sake of eating meat.
But such a goal is not perfect.
Many people's lives have been affected by Yin's freedom.
The biggest impact is on animal husbandry.
The popularity of artificial meat has directly impacted practitioners in this industry.
Every day, countless people demonstrate outside the company and physically attack Mr. Yoon.
Others are more extreme.
A livestock businessman in his fifties went bankrupt because of Yin Freedom's company, so he chose to jump off a building and commit suicide.
In order to retaliate, he happened to fall on the car that Yin was riding.
Fortunately, she herself is fine.
On the other hand, there is pressure from the government.
The fire of artificial meat has made government officials want a piece of the pie too.
Through the trading of power and money, we can achieve a win-win situation for each other.
Within the company, too, there is a lot of threat.
A sudden server hack incident made Yin Freedom think that he was being targeted by a hacker group.
This made her realize a more serious problem: the company has internal ghosts.
Not only is the financial loss severe, but the company's foundation is also at risk of being shaken.
A series of accidents made Yin Liberty realize that his situation was very dangerous.
And the enemy, most likely, is the closest person around.
Out of concern for her own personal safety, she decided to find a trusted personal bodyguard.
Coincidentally, the mysterious man Yu Caiyun (played by Zhu Zhixun) appeared.
Yu Caiyun's resume is perfect.
The background is clean, there is military experience, and the overall quality is excellent.
But the strange thing is that they seem to have some kind of connection, both of them are related to the attack on the president.
It's all too coincidental, and people can't help but wonder if there is any cat in it.
However, Yin has more pressing issues to solve.
I had to put aside the suspicion in my heart first, and included Yu Caiyun, who was excellent in all aspects, as a bodyguard.
In fact, Yu Caiyun did have ulterior motives as Yin Freedom suspected.
And becoming a bodyguard is only the first step in his plan.
He suspects that Yoon has something to do with a murder case many years ago.
Therefore, by approaching her, to find out if she is the murderer.
Although "Dominant Species" is a science fiction theme, it discusses a very realistic topic.
Everything that happens in the play can be traced in today's life.
Artificial meat is not a new thing now.
There are already a lot of related products on the market.
It is important to note that artificial meat is divided into two categories.
At present, the common "plant-based" artificial meat in the market is made from soy products that imitate the taste of meat.
Plant-based artificial meat, in terms of taste and nutrition, is still very different from real meat.
The main advantage is that it has low fat content and almost no cholesterol, which is favored by vegetarians and people who are losing weight.
Another type of "animal" artificial meat is cultivated using animal stem cells.
That is, the kind shown in the play.
In the play, Yin Liberty also used a lot of propaganda to introduce the advantages of this artificial meat.
The first point of promotion is that the taste of artificial meat is no different from that of real meat.
There are even various tasting sessions for everyone to taste on their own.
Secondly, promote the idea that artificial meat is healthier.
Artificial meat is low in fat and cholesterol-free.
There is no blood and no parasites or other contaminants.
Customers who care about these aspects will indeed prefer artificial meat.
The last wave of propaganda was to gain the support of environmental protection and animal protection activists.
If artificial meat becomes widespread, it can indeed greatly reduce the amount of slaughter, as well as the damage to the ecology.
All artificial meat companies will use this to send the message that eating artificial meat is to protect the world.
In reality, this kind of artificial meat is also the object of research by biological scientists in many countries.
Considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to meat.
It can greatly reduce air pollution and save the consumption of land resources to cope with the increasingly urgent food crisis.
There are also many enterprises in the mainland that have explored this area and gained successful experience.
Of course, propaganda is propaganda, and it is common to talk only about the advantages and not the defects.
Artificial meat is not flawless.
In the play, an insider broke the news that artificial meat is cultivated with germs.
As soon as the news came out, people were panicked for a while.
The credibility and prestige that the company has accumulated so hard is in danger of collapsing.
The core controversy of animal artificial meat is whether it is safe and healthy.
As a highly processed product, it is not so easy to completely replace natural meat.
After all, this is not a naturally occurring food.
It is easy for people to fear and resist unknown species.
It's like the debate about genetically modified foods all along.
The scientific community basically believes that genetically modified foods will not have adverse effects on the human body.
However, the public will still question the safety of genetically modified foods.
Even if it doesn't matter if you eat it now, it won't take long enough to verify whether the offspring's genes will change as a result, at least for now.
Of course, behind this is inevitably more hidden business competition.
The birth of new industries will always have a huge impact on traditional industries.
If artificial meat becomes the mainstream of the market, the disintegration of traditional animal husbandry can be imagined.
The primary industry has been completely subverted, and the cake will be redivided.
Naturally, this is not the outcome that many traditional livestock practitioners want to see.
At present, attitudes towards cell-grown artificial meat vary greatly from country to country.
Israel is very supportive of this and has become the first country in the world to approve the sale of artificial beef.
In Italy, the law prohibits the sale and circulation of all animal artificial meat.
For ordinary public consumers, the right to know is still the most important part.
The technology and process, inspection standards, and food risks of new artificial meat are full of unknowns in the eyes of most people.
If you only talk about the advantages and avoid the disadvantages in the promotion, it will not make consumers feel at ease.
It's just like what is presented in the play.
Supporters because they profit from it, opponents because they are implicated.
Both sides can only see one side of the story.
If you want to break the game, you have to see the whole picture.
It is only by seeing it for what it is possible to find true balance.
