How to distinguish between public chopsticks and private chopsticks

Color distinction: white is public chopsticks, and black is private chopsticks. The one near the plate is black, and the one far from the plate is white. A pair of chopsticks with different colors, each with its own division of labor, can prevent and reduce the chances of cross-infection of various infectious diseases.

Distinction of distance from the plate: private chopsticks are close to the plate, and public chopsticks are close to the plate.

Length distinction: the male chopsticks are longer than the private chopsticks, the male chopsticks are 27 ~ 30cm long and the private chopsticks are 22 ~ 24cm long.

Benefits of using chopsticks and spoons and eating separately

1, clean and sanitary, and prevent diseases

Eating around the table without using public chopsticks, this seemingly intimate way of eating, increases the risk of disease spreading from person to person. Patients or pathogen carriers among diners can spread the disease to other healthy people, who use chopsticks to shuttle back and forth around the table to eat. Therefore, the biggest advantage of using chopsticks and spoons to eat separately is to reduce the risk of "illness from the mouth".

2, reduce waste, civilized catering

It is precisely because of the use of public chopsticks that the dishes will not be polluted by all kinds of saliva, and diners can safely pack up and go home before eating. While reducing waste, it also cultivates people's spirit of environmental protection and saving.

3. Pay attention to nutrition and scientific collocation.

The way of family dinner in China determines that it is difficult for family members to really carry out nutritional catering. Because the chef can decide the nutritional collocation of a dish, but everyone in the family has different tastes and preferences, it is impossible to grasp the amount of a certain food intake. If a separate meal system is adopted, the nutritional intake of each family can be controlled as long as a dish is well matched according to the different needs of each person.
