1, hidden dangers of online ordering
Hidden danger 1: food hygiene problems
Although it is convenient to order food online, some restaurants frequently have food hygiene and safety problems, and there will be many black workshops on the online ordering platform. Although the government is now strengthening the supervision of food and catering, it is inevitable that there will be some "fish that slip through the net", so the food hygiene problem in online ordering is still worthy of attention.
Solution: According to the Measures for the Investigation and Punishment of Internet Food Safety Violations, the takeaway platform should register and review online merchants and publicize their licenses. Therefore, when ordering food, be sure to check the business qualification of the restaurant, and don't be greedy and cheap. It's best to find a restaurant run by a big brand chain in a physical store or order at a restaurant that you have been to yourself.
Hidden danger 2: high oil intake
Cover rice is the most common in take-away or fast food. Many people think that rice with vegetables and rice is convenient to eat, and it is even more irresistible to mix vegetables and rice evenly in vegetable soup. In fact, the reason why rice is delicious is that the amount of oil and salt will not be less. If you eat such rice, it is very likely that the oil and salt will exceed the standard.
Solution: Pay attention to the preparation method before buying food, order less oily food such as braised eggplant and covered rice, try to find food packaged separately from rice, or ask the store to package food and rice separately. Finally, we should change the collocation of rice and vegetable soup.
Hidden danger 3: unbalanced nutrition
Due to the differences in preparation methods, oil consumption and delivery time, many data show that take-away food contains more fat, less fiber and less vitamins and minerals than food made at home.
Solution: When choosing a takeaway, don't just choose a single dish of rice, try to choose a set meal of 2-3 kinds of meat and vegetables. Or several people order several stir-fried dishes together to realize the diversification of food types when eating takeaway.
2. How to order takeout is healthier?
In addition to the general direction mentioned above, there are some small details to pay attention to when ordering takeout. Let's take two meals on a take-away website as an example: the two meals are the secret braised pork set meal (rice, braised pork, poached eggs, dried Chili potato shreds) and the sauce-fried cod set meal (rice, sauce-fried cod, cauliflower slices, fried rapeseed). These two sets of rice meet the requirements of separating 2-3 kinds of dishes from rice, so which one is healthier?
The only vegetarian dish in the braised pork set meal is shredded potato, which is eaten more as a staple food than as a vegetable. In contrast, the dishes in the lobster sauce and cod meal are relatively rich, including cauliflower and rape, which are stir-fried, so the production method is relatively healthy. Therefore, when we choose, we should not only look at the quantity of vegetables, but also pay attention to the types of vegetables, and ensure that at least half of them are vegetarian, including green leafy vegetables.
