What is "white rice"? How did it become a new trend among young people?

As the name suggests, "white man's rice" is a special work meal popular in white societies in Europe and the United States. It is mainly famous for its simple ingredients and casual preparation. To put it simply, it is just like white people making lunch, simply assembling raw food in the most sloppy way, focusing on one thing to save trouble - two carrots, a few vegetable leaves, it is a low-calorie meal for white people to reduce fat and not starve to death. Perhaps it was too perfunctory, so the white meal was also called the "vital sign meal."

So what exactly is the new trend of "white rice"? Let's go find out.

At first, someone posted on their social media platform the lunches that their white foreign colleagues brought to the company.

The comment "don't give a shit" highly summarizes the two lonely carrots in the lunch. At the same time, more people told how their European and American colleagues also ate the same labor-saving "white man's meal."

But after ridicule and pity, some working people began to have a positive attitude towards white people's meals, because such meals are easy to prepare, not easy to feel sleepy after eating, and are also very cheap.

As a result, this kind of lunch, which seems tasteless, simple and perfunctory, and whose only purpose is to maintain vital signs, has gradually become the target of imitation by young domestic animals. As a result, many netizens share their daily "white people's rice" on social platforms.

Some people bring a small lunch box every day, put it with raw boiled eggs, cucumbers and blueberries, and some ready-to-eat chicken breasts. They heat it up at the company at noon and it’s lunch.

Someone invented a "white rice" that is more suitable for Chinese babies: tomatoes and cucumbers

Someone brought a meat bun and two bananas for lunch, and realized the white rice The essence: "As long as you don't starve to death, you don't care what you eat. Eat less for lunch so you don't feel sleepy in the afternoon. Although it's not delicious, it's very suitable for working."

Some netizens said that the essence of white people's rice has never been What to eat, whether it tastes good or not, whether it is healthy or not, all focus on an attitude: I don’t care about eating, as long as I don’t starve to death.

Some people can't understand the popularity of "white people's meals": If work takes up time and energy to cook, why not go out to eat and order takeout?

As we all know, eating is getting more and more expensive nowadays. The price of a Chinese fast food takeout meal in first- and second-tier cities is at least over 20 yuan. If you want to add more protein, the cost of one meal will easily exceed 30 yuan. For most migrant workers, this is a significant expense.

The pace of life of migrant workers is fast, takeout is too expensive, and there is no time to cook. Eating and studying has become a difficult balance for migrant workers to survive in the cracks.

No one wants to keep fooling around, but the environment is too complicated. Breakfast is left to commuting, and lunch is eaten during work breaks...

The popularity of white rice is actually among young people. Rebelling against the "996" work culture, creative photos and videos of homemade "white people's rice" went viral on the Internet. Although the titles of some posts seemed to make fun of "white people's rice," most people were actually talking about how satisfied they were with "white people's rice." Some even suggested that eating less carbohydrates would help them focus on work and not feel sleepy in the afternoon. .

Although it is very unfriendly to the Chinese stomach, we must admit that the shabby white people’s rice does play a role in reducing the Engel coefficient and indirectly increasing the length of lunch breaks.

Involution devalues ??efforts. In order to realize value, people first castrated sleep. Staying up late and getting up early has become the main lifestyle of contemporary young people.

This time the "rollers" evolved again, and this time they were cruel to the stomach.

In short, this is the situation! Excuse me, the half bowl of leftover carrots and hummus is calling me, I have to go eat.
