    All controversies must return to authenticity
    .

    Recently, the term "Hex Technology" went viral
    .
    The term from the game League of Legends refers to a top technology that blends magic and technology, but in the mouth of short video bloggers, it has become a way to "turn decay into magic" ingredients
    .
    Milk tea is made with creamer powder and vegetable fat powder; Steak is made by pressing with minced meat and scraps; Bird's nest is soaked in gelatin and fat with syrup; A spoonful of Sanhua light milk into the pot, tap water immediately turned into white mutton soup.
    .
    .

    Looking at this popularity, it is not how sophisticated, professional knowledge or skills these short video bloggers have, but that they have shown an unknown side
    with years of experience.
    The "technology and cruelty" in the mouth of these bloggers is closely related to the daily life of the public, which makes the audience feel incredible at the same time, but also has many emotions such as anger, disappointment, sadness, etc.
    , and finally converges into rolling traffic and roaring network
    .

    However, with the popularity, controversy has also come
    .
    Supporters believe that bloggers have used what they have learned to expose the behavior of unscrupulous merchants to deceive consumers, and some netizens have even issued the remorse
    that "the things that my mother has not been persuaded to understand for 20 years have been quickly admonished by 'technology and cruelty'".
    Opponents argue that this is a stigmatized food additive that will affect the survival of small and medium-sized enterprises, especially under the influence of the epidemic, the catering industry is generally sluggish
    .

    However, the merits of this matter are actually quite angular
    .
    If these short video bloggers are simply popularizing science, and do not deliberately smear anyone, and do not have the illegal business of collecting money behind their backs, then their content is legitimate and even beneficial
    .
    After all, what could be wrong with letting the public know more common sense in life and develop a healthier lifestyle?

    Therefore, all controversies still have to return to authenticity
    .
    If their so-called science popularization is unreliable, full of errors or biased inducements, then of course the output of this "false knowledge" should be regulated or even curbed
    .
    For catering practitioners, if the scope of use and dosage of those food additives are reasonable and are allowed by relevant laws and regulations, then it is also justified
    .
    On the contrary, the use of additives in excess and beyond the scope is harmful and even criminal
    .

    According to reports, blogger Xin Jifei has successively exposed the "secrets" such as honey synthesized by sugar water and flavor, starch intestines without meat, and gelatin mixed with syrup to make bird's nest
    .
    What is revealed in this may be that some businesses are suspected of false publicity, making and selling fake goods, shoddy and other violations of laws and regulations
    .
    What should be asked is the guilt of the relevant merchants, not to pull what the low price is guilty of
    .
    There is no original sin in low prices, but how can illegal operations be gently put down?

    As for the views of "creating anxiety" and "affecting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises", they should also be based on facts
    .
    If it is only because bloggers tell more truth and insider information, it is neither fair nor a moral kidnapping
    to put such a hat on them.
    Can the development of enterprises sacrifice the rights and interests of consumers and the health of the people? In order to take care of the commonality of "low prices", consumers should be "kept in the dark" to feel good about themselves? There is no such morality in the world, and there is no such reason
    .

    If someone tells the truth and hurts others, then it is probably not the person who told the truth who
    should reflect.
    If someone says the truth disillusions the bright image of an industry, then it is the industry that should be reflected, and the response is to actively improve the industry, to be more authentic, transparent and healthy, rather than accusing the truth-teller of breaking the unspoken rules
    of "convention".
    We should not be afraid of the truth, but of whether we are right or wrong, we are only talking about morality
    .
