“Two days ago, I met a friend and told her that my face had become rounder. When I weighed myself, I found that I had gained 5 pounds. I felt really uncomfortable and wanted to cry!” After realizing it, Ms. Zhao searched for relevant information about Dirty Buns on the Internet. , I saw a netizen’s post saying that a dirty bag of less than 80 grams contains 400 calories, which is equivalent to 2 to 3 bowls of rice. It takes about half an hour of running to consume these calories... and she doesn’t like to exercise. Looking at her rounded self in the mirror, Miss Zhao felt very melancholy. She provided reporters with a recipe table for dirty dumplings with calorie conversions. She believed this was the main culprit that caused her to gain weight.
The reporter also immediately interviewed 10 people born in the 1980s and 1990s, including 5 men and 5 men. Among them, 4 women have eaten Zongzangbao, and one person who has never eaten it also knows about Zongzangbao. The reason for not eating it is: she is worried about gaining weight. As for men, only two of them have eaten it, and the other three have also seen dirty buns in their circle of friends.
Visit: Dirty bags continue to be popular
On the afternoon of January 29, the reporter opened the Meituan APP and searched for dirty bags. It can be seen that there are dirty bags in almost every district in the main city. Package sales, prices range from close to 10 yuan to more than 20 yuan, and are paired with corresponding beverage packages. In terms of consumer reviews, consumers are also happy to post pictures and share with everyone what they looked like after eating dirty buns.
In Roseda Bakery in Wanhui Center, Jiangbei District, the advertisement for Dirty Buns is very eye-catching on the door of the store. The merchant claims that he is an Internet celebrity, and his style is wild and domineering, making people laugh. Your face will look bigger in a second... The dirty bags in this store weigh about 100 grams each and sell for 18.8 yuan. Staff told reporters that with the popularity of dirty bags on the Internet and celebrities trying them out, many people are willing to buy and try them, especially young people. Even if they do not buy, citizens from the area are willing to stop and take a look at this product. An internet celebrity product, dirty bags are currently the star product of bakeries.
Merchant: Hot pot has much higher calories than dirty buns
Subsequently, the reporter contacted Mr. Huang Zhonghua, the manager of the store, and relayed to him some citizens’ concerns about too high calories and concerns about long-term health. Perceptions of fatness. He said frankly that due to the high chocolate content of dirty buns, the calories are indeed much higher than other breads. "The key to the caloric content of Zangzangbao is who you compare it with. If you compare it with rice, it will take several bowls. But if you don't have a particularly good appetite or are very hungry, who will eat several bowls of rice in one meal? It really needs to be compared. , the hot pot that Chongqing people often eat, even with hot meat dishes, has already exceeded the calories of Zangzangbao," Huang Zhonghua said.
Subsequently, the reporter provided Huang Zhonghua with the recipe for dirty dumplings circulated online, and he said that it was probably a fake recipe.
Why do you say this? He explained that a piece of dirty bread, which is less than 80 grams, has 27 grams of butter, which is too high. At the same time, the eggs and water necessary for making dirty buns are not included in the standard mix. Obviously, there is a problem with this recipe.
Experts: The caloric requirements of the human body vary from person to person
In this regard, the reporter consulted relevant people from the city’s food and drug supervision department. According to the other party, when merchants sell dirty bags, in order to give consumers a better taste experience, they usually pair them with hot drinks such as milk tea, coffee, and chocolate. In fact, for citizens who are worried about the high calories in dirty dumplings, this is definitely a move that adds fat to fat.
She said that the daily caloric intake of each person needs to be differentiated according to factors such as gender, weight, and age. Generally speaking, an adult man consumes about 2,200 calories a day. The calories of a Zangzangbao are approximately equal to the calories consumed in a normal meal, but it lacks the supplement of vitamins and minerals. If citizens eat dirty buns for a long time, it is indeed easy to consume excess calories and become obese. She suggested that citizens can eat green tea, black tea and other tea drinks when eating dirty buns, which can play a certain role in reducing fat, but the best way is to eat healthily and exercise appropriately.
