After leaving Zhang Ruiqiang, Feng Yu turned around and entered another compound not far away, where Mr. Lu worked.
At this time, Mr. Lu looked much calmer. Perhaps because of his age or status, he was no longer as arrogant as when Feng Yu first met him.
Seeing Feng Yu come in, Mr. Lu put down his pen, turned off the computer monitor, walked out from behind the desk, and pulled Feng Yu to sit on the sofa.
"I've changed units now, and you finally came to see me." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, your unit changes too often. I'd like to come. It's really been a bit busy recently."
Feng Yu thought that after Mr. Lu went to the local area, he should work there for one or two terms, but he didn't know that he didn't work for two years and returned to the cloth committee.
But this time, why did Mr. Lu end up in such a unit? Food and Drug Administration, does Mr. Lu have any experience
Feng Yu seriously suspected that it was because of such a vacancy that Mr. Lu's family worked hard to fill it for Mr. Lu. He would work like this for two years, and then he would be promoted to a full-fledged border official.
As for whether Mr. Lu has experience, this person doesn't care at all. Anyway, there is no need for Mr. Lu to go to the front line for testing. He is doing administrative work.
"It just so happens that you are here. I have something else I want to ask you about." Seeing Feng Yu coming, Mr. Lu felt that maybe Feng Yu knew how to solve this matter that he was not sure about. After all, Feng Yu had been there so many times. He has much more knowledge than him.
"Have you heard of genetically modified crops? They are genetically modified cotton, genetically modified corn, genetically modified soybeans, etc."
When Feng Yu heard these words, he asked hesitantly: "What, is the country planning to vigorously promote genetically modified crops?"
If it's just a cash crop, then Feng Yu thinks it doesn't matter. It's a good thing to be able to produce more cotton. But what about cottonseed oil, what to do with this
Moreover, corn and soybeans are both food crops at this time and are eaten. Although there is no clear proof of harm to the consumption of this genetically modified product, who knows how long the incubation period of this harm is
"Genetically modified cotton has been vigorously promoted in our country for a long time. Now most of the cotton grown in our country is genetically modified, that is, bt cotton, and bt is a pesticide."
"Now we are not sure whether we should vigorously promote genetically modified corn and soybeans. The yield of genetically modified crops is indeed much higher, and the oil yield is also higher."
"Let's put it this way, if we all grow genetically modified soybean oil, then the price of ordinary soybean oil will be reduced by nearly half. This is a benefit to many people, right?"
Feng Yu looked at Mr. Lu: "Then why are you hesitating?"
"It is not yet a question of whether this genetic modification is safe. We have also organized many experts to conduct research experiments, and so far we have found no obvious harm to the human body."
"But many experts say that it cannot be proven that there is no harm to the human body. Some people even want to recruit volunteers to conduct experiments, or simply conduct experiments on themselves. They insist that after changing the protein properties, the safety of the food cannot be guaranteed. .”
"You have seen a lot and have traveled around the world a lot over the years. What do you think of this? What are the opinions from overseas?"
Feng Yu asked with a smile: "So are you willing to eat genetically modified soybean oil?"
Mr. Lu smiled coquettishly: "There are non-GMO ones, why should I eat GMO ones?"
"Still, you are worried about yourself. No matter whether experts have verified the results or not, they are all short-term and have not been tested in the long term. Many diseases have a long incubation period, and these cannot be discovered at all in a short period of time."
"And those developed countries basically don't eat genetically modified food. They develop genetically modified food crop seeds and then sell them to less developed countries to make a profit. Don't you think there's anything wrong with that?"
Mr. Lu's eyes widened: "Is there really a problem with genetically modified food?!"
"I don't know." Feng Yu shook his head, "But since we can't be sure of its safety, just treat it as unsafe. If it can be avoided, I think it's better to avoid it as much as possible. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a big problem. "
"Although it is said that non-GMO products have low yields and low oil yields, you can eat them with confidence. As for how to explain this to the people, it is actually not too difficult."
Mr. Lu was curious. They had been thinking about this for so long but they still couldn't think of a good way. Feng Yu suddenly thought of it? Even if Feng Yu is a genius, he is not so evil, right
"Master Lu must know that there are two ways to make soybean oil: pressing and leaching, right? Many people have doubts about the chemical leaching method, thinking that there are residues that will harm the body, so after a period of time, the state stipulated that pressing oil and leaching oil, All must be clearly marked on the bottle, and this suggestion was made by me.”
In the beginning, Taihua Selected Oil was sold from the Northeast to Southern Guangdong. Later it was merged into Beidacang, and this brand was exported to many countries.
"You mean to label the bottle whether it is genetically modified oil or not, and then let the people make their own choices?"
Feng Yu nodded: "That's right, just follow the existing technical research information and publish it to the general public. Let them know the difference between genetically modified and non-genetically modified. If you really don't have money, then eating genetically modified soybean oil will do. At least it’s better than not being able to eat oil, right?”
"My suggestion is that we'd better ban the cultivation and promotion of genetically modified food. We must strictly prohibit it to prevent some people from deliberately adulterating it for money."
"As for genetically modified food, we can import it from abroad. Even if it is imported to us, it is still cheaper than non-genetically modified food. After all, the yield is much higher."
"There is absolutely no need to hide some things. Tell the people directly that people in developed countries do not eat genetically modified foods, but there is no proof that eating them will cause any harm to the body. Let them choose for themselves, which is better than us helping them choose."
Mr. Lu interrupted Feng Yu: "Wait a minute, isn't it? You just said that people should make their own choices. Why are you asking me to ban the cultivation and promotion of genetically modified foods? Didn't we make the choice?"
Feng Yu asked with a smile: "Then do you think it shouldn't be banned? Although this will increase the price of cooking oil, will it really have such a big impact on people's lives?"
"If the future proves that this is really harmful, will you feel guilty? Even if it proves that there is no harm, how much loss will it cause to us?"
China is much richer than at this time in the previous life, and China has not been greatly affected by the financial crisis this time. Spending dozens of yuan more on soybean oil a month will not have much impact on most people, and many people still eat more expensive food. of peanut oil.
Mr. Lu gritted his teeth: "You are right, I want to report this matter to the superiors. This genetically modified food will not be grown in our country in the future!"

ps: I recommend a book called "The Wizard in the World of Detectives", which is on the shelves today. If you like Conan, you can't miss it. It's an excellent author, trustworthy, and already fat (to be continued...)
