Recently, a university banned the use of ice cubes in beverage shops in parks because some students had diarrhea after eating ice cubes with bacteria. However, whether this practice is reasonable or not needs further consideration.

Ensure the health of teachers and students

Ice cubes are easy to breed bacteria. Prohibiting the use of ice cubes in beverage shops can reduce food safety problems caused by beverage pollution and protect the health of teachers and students.

Reduce the waste of water resources

Using ice will consume more water resources, and banning ice will also help reduce the waste of water resources.

Cold drinks are essential.

Ice cubes in beverage shops are easy for students to get off campus, which is an indispensable way to relieve summer heat in hot summer.

Reduce consumption expenditure

Students are forbidden to drink drinks with ice cubes, which may make them buy more sugary drinks such as herbal tea and bottled drinks, which will not only increase students' consumption expenditure, but also weaken the health benefits brought by drinking less water.

Cooperate with each other to ensure health and safety.

Prohibiting the use of ice cubes in beverage shops requires comprehensive consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of all aspects. Schools can consider other ways, such as supervision and hygiene management of beverage shops, to ensure that students can enjoy healthy and safe cool drinks on campus. At the same time, students also need to consciously abide by food safety knowledge to avoid health problems caused by improper diet or iced drinks.
