I don't know when self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice have quietly risen.
Just like instant noodles back then, instant food is taking the path of pre-made dishes.
Recently, a video showed a male passenger throwing two boxes of rice on the ground in front of security officers at the security checkpoint of the train station.

So what's going on here?
What happened:
On May 17, a short video posted in Handan showed a man wearing a blue T-shirt.
He was going through security at the train station, with a suitcase next to him, and the man was arguing with the security officer.
It turned out that the man had brought two boxes of self-heating rice with him, and was stopped when he went through the security check.
The man asked why he couldn't bring it, and the security staff explained to him that self-heating de rice is a dangerous good and is not allowed on the train according to railway regulations.
The man was very serious, saying that he couldn't figure it out, when did rice become a dangerous commodity? Just talk to the staff.
The staff of the station to maintain law and order went to deal with it and patiently explained to the passengers again and again.
When he learned that the rice would definitely not be able to be carried, the man was emotional.
Holding a bowl of rice in one hand, he fell to the ground with all his strength in front of the security staff.
The man's behavior made everyone in the station look at him in surprise.
12306's Answer:
Can I bring self-heating rice on the train? Some media reporters called 12306 for verification.
When the reporter explained the situation, the 12306 customer service made it clear that it couldn't be brought, it was a dangerous good.
What exactly is self-heating rice?
After inquiry, it was found that self-heating rice is a convenience food, and his main principle is to use heating pack chemicals and water to generate heat.
The rice is then cooked quickly. Eating sticky rice includes rice, side dishes, and a heating pack.
Why can't I bring self-heating rice packets on the train?
According to the inquiry, the main reason why self-heating rice cannot be brought on the train is due to safety concerns.
Self-heating rice is mainly heated by a heating pack, which contains chemicals, including quicklime, etc.
These chemicals and water once produce a lot of steam and heat, because the train is relatively cramped and the space is absolutely closed.
In the unlikely event that the heating pack is activated, it may cause a fire or other safety hazard, posing a threat to the safety of passengers.
Attitude of netizens:
Although the regulations on the railway are reasonable, this matter still sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Many netizens summed up this matter in terms of economic benefits, believing that the railway department prohibits self-heating rice, mainly considering the benefits of selling boxed lunches on the train.
If everyone brings rice to eat, the lunch box on the train will not be sold.
The key is that there is a box of fast food on the train, and the cheapest one is 60 yuan, and the economic benefits are very obvious.
This is also a revenue generation on the train.
Another friend said that since passengers are not allowed to bring them on the train, why do they see self-heating rice sold on the train? Isn't that a paradox?
The shops in the waiting rooms of the train station also sell them, so what can I say?
There are still many netizens who don't understand the difference between self-heating rice and rice, and they are surprised that it is the first time they have heard that white rice has become a dangerous product?
This is the monopoly of capital, in the name of security, in fact, in the pursuit of higher interests.
Write at the end:
This matter still has to be viewed in two parts, and the railway department has the right to make such rules according to safety considerations, because after all, self-heating rice is not ordinary rice.
The main ingredient in it, the heating package, is indeed dangerous.
The point is that in the narrow space of the train, the people are very dense, and the carriage is a relatively closed place.
In the event of a fire, the consequences are very serious. It's unlikely, but it's better to prevent it than to prevent it.
As for whether it is due to the impact on the sale of boxed lunches on the train, this is really hard to say.
Personally, I think that those who are not willing to pay a high price to buy a boxed lunch on the train, even if you have a monopoly, those who don't eat it still don't eat it.
And some business people who like to eat boxed lunches on the train, even if they bring self-heating rice, it is estimated that they will not buy it.
So it's better to go with the flow and let the market choose for itself!
