The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the making of moon cakes is in full swing. In the past, people used to eat moon cakes wrapped in a thin layer of paper, but now the packaging of moon cakes is very luxurious. There is a strange phenomenon. The more expensive the mooncake, the better the packaging. In 2022, two domestic food associations jointly supervised the packaging of moon cakes. The two associations also issued a joint statement saying that mooncake packaging should be carried out in accordance with national standards. If any manufacturer overpackages moon cakes, the manufacturer will be severely punished. Manufacturers should pay more attention to the mooncakes themselves rather than the packaging.

I don't know why, now many people equate the packaging of moon cakes with the quality of moon cakes, and think that the better the packaging, the better the taste of moon cakes. Some people will feel embarrassed when they visit relatives and friends with very well-packaged moon cakes. And these are all fallacies. We ate moon cakes, not packaging. No matter how good the packaging is, the moon cakes taste bad. Moreover, many moon cakes in the Yangtze River are now over-packaged, only a small piece of moon cakes is opened, and the food itself is completely abandoned.

Like other foods, the most important thing about mooncakes is their taste. If the taste of moon cakes is good, the packaging is not so important. Once upon a time, our ancestors put hand-made moon cakes directly on the dining table for relatives and friends to enjoy. At that time, moon cakes were not even packaged. But people taste delicious and happy. In fact, most people don't care about the quality of packaging, after all, pragmatic people account for a large part. Some merchants specially designed this technique to make moon cakes look more beautiful.

The disclosure of the supervision of mooncake packaging by two food associations has won unanimous support from people. Opposing the over-packaging of moon cakes is not only for the sake of consumers' feelings, but also for the sake of the environment. Too much packaging not only wastes resources, but also harms the environment. These packages will be thrown away after opening and are difficult to degrade. The broad masses should establish a rational and green consumption concept and jointly build a green society.
