The barrage "foodie" looks at the epidemic in Wuhan

The timing of watching this movie is delicate, and it coincides with the spread of the new type of coronavirus throughout the country. Therefore, when watching this movie that shows the harmony between human beings, the natural world and the animal world, I am terrified by the lingering "old barrage". The movie is a few years old.

When the little girl accidentally found a nest of eggs in the swamp, netizens barrage the various dishes in turn, which is very natural and skillful. In the past few days, I have seen too many reports about the indiscriminate consumption of wild animals by humans, especially the predation of bats. Of course, in the growth and twists and turns of the geese in the subsequent plot, we can also see the familiar "taste dishes barrage". Every time I see these comments, I feel particularly "uncomfortable", why our perception of these creatures is more reduced to "taste experience feedback". Could it be traced back to China's extensive and profound "food culture"?

However, this is not the first time we have eaten this kind of loss. The 2003 SARS culprit, the civet cat, has already made the Chinese people suffer once. Over time, this historical pain seems to have faded, but the classic menu has never retreated. A shop in the Huanan Seafood Market has all kinds of wild animals with clearly marked prices, still remembering 580 geese per one, maybe some barrage people have already tasted this taste.

I very much hope that in a few years, when I watch this movie again, there will not be so many "mouthy foodies". This is an American environmental protection and ecological awareness film in 1996. I also hope that in the future, we can also feel the same sense of belonging of animals to the natural environment. That's enough! Reality question: Why do those people eat bats?

I'm so long-winded, it's over! The color scheme of the movie is really good!

    Thomas Alden: It's amazing, isn't it, how they, uh, follow her around like that?

    DNR Officer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, called imprinting. The first living thing a goose sees when it's born, it automatically assume is its mother.

    Thomas Alden: Huh.

    DNR Officer: They'll follow her anywhere.
