The word office worker is not clearly defined in vocabulary and dictionary; Literally, it means "the ethnic group of working people". Nowadays, office workers refer not only to "white-collar workers", but also to workers in cities. Let's take a look at whether the lunch for office workers is to take food or takeaway.
bring your own food: the food is medium-cooked
bringing your own food can not only ensure the matching of meat and vegetables, but also save money and time, which is the best choice for office workers.
Office workers should do well in nutrition collocation and low-temperature preservation when bringing meals. In terms of nutrition collocation, first, you can choose vegetables suitable for repeated heating, mainly roots, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, broccoli, tomatoes, mushrooms, fungus and so on. Try not to bring seafood and cold salad, so as not to spoil or breed bacteria. Second, meat dishes are changed, and strive to achieve "one meat, one vegetable and one mushroom". Mu Xu meat is a good choice. When cooking, you can add some mashed garlic, vinegar, etc.
in terms of preservation, we must first ensure the low temperature. If it is a dish prepared the night before, it needs to be packaged in time after cooling and put in the refrigerator. Put it in the refrigerator in time when you arrive at work, and fully heat it in the microwave oven when you eat at noon. If you have enough time, you are encouraged to get up early to prepare lunch boxes. Secondly, choose the right lunch box, preferably a heat-resistant and sealed glass or stainless steel lunch box, and the food should be packed in 2/3~3/4 of the lunch box. Prepare at least two lunch boxes, and separate the staple food and vegetables. If rice and vegetable soup are mixed together, the possibility of nitrite increase will be greater. Thirdly, stir-fry the vegetables you want to bring until they are 71% or 81% mature, so as to prevent the nutrients from being destroyed when heated in the microwave oven.
Dinner: Ordering according to the head
According to the survey, nearly 61% of white-collar workers have to go out for lunch, and 41% of them choose to go out for lunch with colleagues. The choice of going out for dinner is wide, but food safety problems are frequently exposed in small restaurants, and problems such as excessive oil and heavy taste are also found in big restaurants.
In fact, the key to eating a healthy meal depends on whether you order a healthy meal. Please remember the following principles.
principle 1: make overall plans for ordering food. Everyone's taste is different, and the number of dishes should be calculated well. Generally, several people order several dishes. If it is a "bold" cuisine like Northeast cuisine, you may wish to reduce one dish; Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, such as "graceful and restrained" cuisine, can add a dish.
principle 2: mix vegetarian food with vegetarian food. If four people eat, it is best to order a meat dish, two meat dishes (which can include an egg dish) and a vegetarian dish. For example, small fried meat, shredded pork with fish flavor, steamed eggs and garlic broccoli are good.
principle 3: order more dishes with rich ingredients. For example, order moo Shu pork, lean meat, eggs, fungus and day lily, and the nutritional ratio is also very reasonable.
principle 4: eat staple food and vegetables first. Eating meat and vegetables when you come up easily leads to excessive calories. You might as well eat staple food and vegetables first.
canteen: a little more miscellaneous and colorful
Many people envy the unit that has a canteen, but they are not necessarily willing to go if they really have a canteen. Because the canteen adopts a large-scale, rough-processed "big pot rice" model, the taste is inevitably affected, but compared with the rice brought in, the food in the canteen is fresher and less nutritious. Aside from the problem of taste, office workers can pay attention to the following points when eating in the canteen: first, "miscellaneous" and "colorful". Pay attention to the rich dishes and eat "a little color". For example, if you choose scrambled eggs with red and yellow tomatoes, you can have a green celery fried meat. One of the advantages of the dining hall is to have more choices. You can make full use of them and try to eat about 11 kinds of food in one meal. Take the staple food as an example, the thickness is matched, and the rice is matched with potatoes and corn.
second, avoid excessive calorie and fat intake. Avoid dishes such as braised pork and pork stew. Pork belly in these kinds of meat dishes is mostly fat, which will increase fat intake and can be replaced by chicken, beef and lean meat dishes. In addition, eat less or not eat fried chicken legs, fried meatballs and other foods.
thirdly, many canteens now offer buffets, but it is easy to have too many meals. It is suggested that a small number of times, do not patronize the meat dishes and ignore the green vegetables.
Takeaway: Hygiene is the most important
Nowadays, you can eat all kinds of delicious food without leaving home. Takeaway is faster and more affordable, but there are also many health problems.
First of all, the most serious problem is food safety. The media frequently expose the cost of food hygiene licenses in small restaurants, which is unsightly. Secondly, the problem of nutrition collocation, takeaway is generally high in oil and salt, and long-term consumption will increase the risk of hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Thirdly, many kinds of take-away food are single, with rice as the staple food and few fresh vegetables.
If you have to order take-out, you need to pay attention to the following points: 1. Before ordering take-out, check whether there is a food hygiene license, or choose a restaurant that has been or seen and has a physical store. 2. At least one meat and one vegetable. Order takeout, meat and vegetables can not be less. For example, order a meat dish with a vegetable-fried cabbage, or change the meat dish into eggs. 3. Less greasy or thicken dishes. Braised Japanese tofu, roasted eggplant and other dishes are oily and thick, which will increase the intake of fat and starch. Be sure to eat less. It is suggested that boiled, boiled and stir-fried dishes are appropriate. 4. Rich staple food. In addition to rice, you can add a little potato, corn, taro, miscellaneous grains rice, or often eat it instead.

How can the vagus nerve of the brain control the transmission of "satiety"? Qingdao catering food supervision and sampling inspection, Aijiafu supermarket and other 15 blacklisted summer diets need to prevent "food poisoning". Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Jin, a professional counterfeiter, sued a comprehensive supermarket in Beijing for trial in Chaoyang court.
after buying boxed durian meat wrapped in plastic wrap, freshly cut golden diamond pineapple and imported green grapefruit meat, he found that the supermarket had not obtained the corresponding license according to the new regulations.
Mr. Jin took the supermarket to court, demanding not only a refund of the purchase price, but also a tenfold compensation.
On June 21th last year, Mr. Jin bought a boxed durian meat wrapped in plastic wrap, as well as freshly cut golden diamond pineapple and imported green grapefruit meat in a general supermarket in Beijing, with a total cost of 3,393.8 yuan.
The judge asked Mr. Jin why he bought so many fruits at one time. Mr. Jin said it was to go out to play with friends, but the next day he found that all the fruits were bad and inedible.
Mr. Jin reported to the Beijing Food and Drug Administration that the Food and Drug Administration issued a decision on administrative punishment for the illegal behavior of a supermarket Dawang Road store.
according to the written decision, after being reported, law enforcement officers went to the site for verification on June 24th last year, and found that a store in Dawang Road, a supermarket, engaged in the on-site production and sale of ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruit food without permission from June 11 to June 23rd, selling 346 boxes of "assorted fruit platters", and decided to confiscate its illegal income of 69.12 yuan and impose a fine of 5,111 yuan.
Yesterday outside the court, Mr. Jin admitted his identity as a professional counterfeiter to our reporter. According to Mr. Jin, the production license of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables is a requirement in the Detailed Rules for the Examination of Production License of Instant Fresh-cut Fruits and Vegetables published by Beijing Food and Drug Administration in October 2114.
according to the detailed rules, the ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables refer to the products that can be eaten directly after being pretreated, washed (peeled), cut, disinfected and rinsed, and surface water removed, and are transported and sold by cold chain after being sealed and packaged.
according to the requirements of the detailed rules, since March 1, 2115, those who have not obtained the food production license may not produce and sell ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
Mr. Jin believes that the three kinds of fruits he bought fall within the scope stipulated in the Detailed Rules, and the merchants need special permission to produce and sell them.
Mr. Jin said that the Life Channel of Beijing TV had made an investigation, and the fresh-cut fruits under plastic wrap were easy to exceed the standard of bacteria. "And we all know that the knives for cutting and peeling fruits in supermarkets are often placed everywhere, or the broken fruits are cut off and then made into sliced fruit bowls. How to ensure cleanliness and safety?"
Yesterday, the supermarket said that after the implementation of the new regulations, the supermarket had applied for additional items, and then obtained the license, but it had not obtained the license during the time when the plaintiff sued, but its production technology and process fully met the conditions of administrative license.
The agent of the supermarket thinks that the shopping receipt provided by the plaintiff cannot prove that these fruits were purchased from the supermarket, and claims that the shelf life of fresh-cut fruits is the same day, and whether they rot the next day has nothing to do with the supermarket. Yesterday, the case was not pronounced in court.
In the interview, the reporter learned that according to the Detailed Rules for the Examination of the Production License of Ready-to-eat Fresh-cut Fruits and Vegetables, fresh-cut fruits must be packaged before leaving the factory, and the manufacturers of ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables must have the ability to inspect before leaving the factory. The packaged vegetables and fruit salads commonly used by consumers in convenience stores and supermarkets belong to this category.
in March last year, after the implementation of this regulation, some supermarkets suspended the sale of sliced fruits. But can watermelons be cut and sold? Does peeling pineapple count? Can you sell durian in durian meat now? In this regard, different people have different understandings, and it still needs a detailed and authoritative interpretation from Beijing Food and Drug Administration.

Most of the tapes used in supermarkets were industrial-grade tapes
People often went to supermarkets to buy food. People will find that many fresh vegetables were colorful Recently, CCTV reported that the formaldehyde of vegetables packaged in this way exceeded the standard by 11 times! Yesterday, the Evening News reporter visited the Guangzhou market and found that many supermarkets sold vegetables and fruits, all of which were directly tied with tape.
authoritative experts point out that the tapes used in supermarkets are basically industrial-grade tapes at present, and consumers are advised to peel off as much as possible or throw them away directly after purchasing fruits and vegetables.
supermarkets directly bind fruits and vegetables with adhesive tapes
Yesterday, the reporter of Evening News visited some large supermarkets in Guangzhou and found that the spinach, Chinese cabbage and cucumber sold in the vegetable monopoly area were directly bound with purple or green adhesive tapes, and the words "fresh every day" and "fresh" were printed on the tapes, and some price labels were also directly attached to vegetables.
In a supermarket, the reporter saw in the fruit area at the gate that the staff was directly tying the cantaloupe around the waist with tape. The on-site staff told reporters: "It has always been so tied, no problem."
The reporter learned that supermarkets use adhesive tape to bind vegetables and fruits, mainly for the convenience of customers to choose and buy, and it looks more beautiful and tidy.
The adhesive tape residue will decompose at high temperature
What materials are these adhesive tapes made of? The reporter entered "supermarket-bound vegetable tape" on Taobao. The search results showed that the single price of the tape was around 1 yuan, and most sellers said that "the tape sold was special for supermarket-bound vegetables".
Dr. Wang Fei, who specializes in the research of materials, told the reporter that the vegetable wrapping tapes used in supermarkets are basically industrial-grade tapes, which are not suitable for food packaging materials.
in the CCTV report, the reporter sent a bundle of vegetables bound with tape to the relevant departments for testing. The staff separated the parts of vegetables that contacted the tape from those that did not, and then washed the parts of vegetables that contacted the tape by simulating the process of washing vegetables at home. The test results show that the formaldehyde in some vegetables in contact with the tape exceeds the standard by ten times!
An associate professor majoring in applied chemistry in the School of Chemistry of Southwest University said that the main component of the adhesive tape used to bind vegetables in supermarkets is polyacrylate. If citizens cook vegetables with adhesive tape residue at high temperature or clean them with some solvents, some chemicals will decompose and overflow. If they eat vegetables in direct contact with adhesive tape for a long time, they will have toxic and side effects on digestive system and liver and kidney system.
Some cities have issued prohibition orders
At present, there is no clear regulation in the country prohibiting the use of tape to bind vegetables. Authoritative experts suggest that citizens should try to choose vegetables that are not tied with tape when buying them. If you buy something bound with tape, you'd better remove the tape as soon as possible. Vegetables that are easy to peel should be peeled or directly removed.
Due to potential safety hazards, some cities in China have issued "Tape Prohibition Orders" for vegetables. In 2113, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province issued a special notice, demanding that supermarkets use adhesive tape to wrap vegetables for sale, and stop using adhesive tape to directly contact wrapped vegetables.
In March, 2111, Harbin Agriculture Committee issued the Notice on Prohibiting the Direct Use of Adhesive Tape to Bundle and Sell Vegetables, arguing that the adhesive contains many chemical components, which are difficult to clean on vegetables and easy to cause harm to human body.
