陈花: Honey, have you noticed that drink shops everywhere are now selling kale tea? My coworker checks in with her 'slimming bottle' every day—it’s 20 to 30 yuan a cup.
黄刚: Yeah, I saw the news saying kale prices have quadrupled. Some netizens even say it’s 'expensive and tastes bad'—just a scam tax on intelligence.
陈花: The key is that nutrition experts say juicing removes most of the dietary fiber, and some drinks add sugar to make them taste better, which actually makes you gain weight.
黄刚: It’s like how quinoa and chia seeds were hyped up before—businesses just blow up the marketing. Kale used to be a niche veggie, now it’s a ‘superfood’ thanks to branding.
陈花: Still, people do have a bit of 'health anxiety'. When they see labels like ‘light wellness’ or ‘fat-burning’, they can’t help but want to try it.
黄刚: Doctors always say real health comes from balanced meals and regular exercise. You can’t rely on one drink to slim down. If you really want to be healthy, you have to change your daily habits.
陈花: You're right. I think we can just cook more leafy greens at home instead of chasing these fads. A plate of stir-fried broccoli might be more reliable than a trendy drink.
