In the past two days, a video of [plastic rice] caught fire in the circle of friends, and Dr. Clove also opened it for the first time.
In the video, a little brother kept putting plastic bags into a machine, and after a series of treatments, he finally produced things like rice grains.
Dr. Clove felt that there must be many people who would doubt life when they saw this video:
The rice we eat every day is not made of plastic bags, is it?
In order not to let everyone go on hunger strike, Dr. Clove will analyze this rumor of [plastic rice] today.
Is it true that [plastic rice] is being made in the video?
Although the video is not fake and is accompanied by thoughtful subtitles [the whole process of making plastic rice], but-
This video was clearly taken in a plastic factory.
The [rice-making] equipment shot in the video is actually very common in the plastic industry, which is called [plastic granulator]. The video shows the most basic [plastic granulator] process.
Looking at the name, you should think that the function of the granulator is to put the recycled plastic into it and then process it into plastic particles.
However, these particles are semi-finished raw materials for making plastic products. They are made into particles only for convenient transportation and storage. It is a complete coincidence that they look like rice.
Some people may say: Dr. Clove has never been to the scene. How can he be so clear?
Because… although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run.
If you don’t believe me, is this standard plastic granulator the same as in the video?
Plastic rice is actually available every year.
In fact, the so-called “plastic rice” is just the reappearance of the “old rumor” a few years ago.
This is not, doctor clove a little search, found a lot:
It can be seen from this that [plastic rice] is a rumor that refutes rumors year after year…
It only takes one move to tear up rumors.
In fact, in Dr. Clove’s view, it only takes one move to tear such rumors by hand-to compare the price.
Because making rice from plastic really doesn’t make money, doesn’t make money, doesn’t make money!
A look on the Internet shows that the general wholesale price of rice is about 4800 yuan per ton, while the market price of cheaper PVC (a plastic) is more than 6000 yuan per ton.
If you really have [plastic rice] and only sell rice at the price, then Dr. Clove will increase the price by 10 cents per catty and charge as much as you can!
Food rumors always have a hard time with plastic.
Rumors of plastic laver, plastic noodles, plastic vermicelli… plastic food have appeared more than once.
In fact, whether it’s fans, noodles or laver, the videos of [teaching you to distinguish truth from falsehood] have nothing to do with plastic (for details, please see Dr. Clove’s rumor).
Fans, noodles, laver… were not too expensive, which merchant would foolishly make this kind of fake?
In short, the content of this kind of [live exercise + narration subtitles] is very misleading, because the pictures you can see are often [carefully selected], so don’t be fooled.
Finally, Dr. Clove gave you two more ultimate ways to refute the rumor:
-
Don’t believe the rumor: Seeing is not necessarily true, hearing may also be false. When encountering rumors, first put a question mark in your heart and think about it again.
-
Don’t spread rumours: In particular, this kind of video is more misleading, so we must pay more attention before forwarding it.
