As sports fans, we are most concerned about the performance of athletes in the Olympic arena. However, a recent scene in the Paris Olympic Village has attracted everyone's attention.
As we all know, Olympic athletes need to consume a lot of physical energy to compete, and the nutritional combination of daily diet is particularly important. I never thought that the restaurant in the Olympic Village in Paris would be like a "vegetarian buffet"! As soon as I walked into the cafeteria, I was greeted by all kinds of vegetable salad, and it was really difficult to find another piece of meat!
This arrangement of "green diet" has really confused many athletes and coaches. You must know that these players usually have enough big fish and big meat, and if they don't have a pound and a half of meat for a meal, it's really not good to eat. But here in Paris, it's good, potatoes fried potatoes, green beans fried green beans, and I can't even find a shadow of protein.
Even the baguettes in the main food section are as hard as stones. Is this a test of the athlete's teeth, or is it trying to make them burst their teeth? There are a lot of fruits, but if you look closely, the black spots on the bananas are almost catching up with the zebra crossing. This kind of fruit, in normal times, we all dislike it, let alone provide it to the players who have worked hard for a day.
The dining environment of the restaurant also makes people sigh in their hearts. It is said that it is a canteen, but in fact it is a greenhouse, there is no air conditioning, and eating a meal is like a sauna. Does it feel like a day of training for an athlete to eat without stopping for a while?
Some people say that Paris is to promote environmental protection and reduce carbon emissions, and this "vegetarianism" banner is loud. But the key is that athletes need abundant physical fitness and strong fighting spirit to participate in the competition. Besides, is it reasonable to solve the problem of food waste not by improving catering and increasing utilization, but by simply and crudely "one size fits all"?
Although we advocate green environmental protection, we cannot ignore the quality of the event and the feelings of the athletes while improving ecological awareness. Is it cost-effective to let the contestants be aggrieved in order to cater to the so-called "environmental inspectors"? Should the Paris Organising Committee think differently and strive to find a more comprehensive balance between environmental protection and sports competition?
In fact, through a reasonable combination of meals, on the premise of ensuring nutrition, waste can also be minimized, so why do you have to go to extremes? In addition, the Olympic stadium is a stage for exchanges between countries, and food is a carrier of culture. Shouldn't Paris take this opportunity to showcase the unique charm of French cuisine instead of doing something different?
In short, the Olympic spirit is not only in the arena, but also in humanistic care. Only by respecting athletes and caring for their needs can we reap more touching moments. It is hoped that the Paris Organising Committee will respond to the concerns of all parties as soon as possible, provide better logistical support for the participants, and interpret the true meaning of the Olympic Games with practical actions. After all, without the dedication of the athletes, how can there be a wonderful event to give back to the audience?
After reading this wave of analysis, I don't know what you think? Is the "green catering" in the Paris Olympic Village a bonus for environmental protection, or does it want to gain popularity? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss, and we look forward to the wonderful moments of the event together!
