"Weighing the body's key meal" has been accused of rubbing heat
On August 13th, Hunan Changsha Cooking Tobacco Small Stir-fried Yellow Beef Huangxing Bronze Statue Store launched the "Weighing Body Key Meal" miracle trick, diners can weigh before entering the store, and then order according to the food calorie ratio menu recommended by the store. The restaurant said the move was to guide diners to order in moderation and eliminate waste. They also provide free packing boxes for diners, allowing everyone to make "discs" a conscious act. On August 14, the matter was reported by the media and caused a heated discussion.
On August 15, the small stir-fried yellow beef with cooking tobacco issued an apology statement through its official Weibo. The statement said that after the matter was reported, it caused great social repercussions. "We apologize for not being able to help drive initiatives to stop food and beverage waste as scheduled and for taking up public resources. Our original intention is to advocate the elimination of waste, healthy ordering, and no mandatory weighing requirements, the activity is real and effective, thanks to the active cooperation of nearly a thousand tables of customers on the day of the event. Welcome the majority of netizens to come to experience, and put forward more valuable comments and suggestions. ”
Under the Weibo of this apology statement, many netizens also expressed their opinions, believing that the original intention of actively responding to stop food waste is good, but "What is the relationship between meal size and weight?" Very fat people may not eat more, and very thin people do not necessarily eat less. Isn't weight a personal privacy? Do I still have to expose my privacy for a meal? "Some netizens believe that the traces of such behavioral marketing are too heavy." Avoiding catering waste should still be realistic, instead of engaging in this kind of gimmick, it is better to improve the quality and taste of dishes, so that people who eat naturally do not waste. ”
The original intention of the person in charge was to promote the avoidance of waste
On August 15, a reporter from the Beijing News interviewed Tan Yan, president of the cooking tobacco small fried yellow beef brand. "After the Hunan Provincial Catering Industry Association and the Hunan Provincial Group Catering Industry Association issued a proposal to stop catering waste, we felt that the general publicity may not be strong enough, so we came up with the way to invite diners to weigh and publicize the calories of the dishes, popularize the knowledge of nutrition and catering, and let everyone order food according to their health and weight, so as to avoid waste."
Tan Yan said that this activity has been carried out for two days since August 13, and nearly a thousand customers have taken the initiative to weigh and eat, this activity is not mandatory, and the weighing diners are completely voluntary. "The activities are voluntary and not linked to any interests. Many female customers are still willing to weigh it, and the weight results will not be displayed on the scale, but will be sent to the weighing customer's mobile phone, without invading privacy. "However, the cooking tobacco small stir-fried yellow beef attaches great importance to everyone's opinions and suggestions." Our original intention was to stop food waste and promote disc action, but if this practice does not allow everyone to practice conservation and does not promote the avoidance of food waste, it must be improved and perfected, so we issued an apology statement. ”
Tan Yan told the Beijing News reporter that the "weighing body key meal" activity of the cooking tobacco small stir-fried yellow beef Huangxing bronze statue shop has not stopped at present, but will make improvements, such as adding more knowledge about diet nutrition, dish calories, etc., so that everyone can achieve the purpose of healthy ordering and avoiding waste. "We will make decisions based on everyone's opinions and actual situations." According to its introduction, in response to the implementation of the initiative to stop food waste, some dishes of cooking tobacco and small stir-fried yellow beef are also trying to adjust to small dishes and one-person food.
