news story.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
The next headline for real news or fake news?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
The segment where I read a new story that's gone
viral this week, you have to see if you can
tell whether it's a real new story or a fake
one that's gone viral. Americans are being warned not to
eat plastic wrap after new viral trend. Americans are being
warned not to eat plastic rap after new virals.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Here's the story.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
A new viral weight loss hack has emerged involving people
lining their mouths with plastic rap before chewing food. Participants
pretend to chew food through the plastic wrap, but instead
they spit it out and don't swallow it, therefore no
calories are ingested. The idea behind the trend is that
plastic wrap acts like a mouth condom that prevents calories

(08:46):
from entering the body while tricking the brain into thinking
it's eating so that you feel like you're full. Critics
stress that simply simulating eating doesn't provide any actual nutrition
or calories, or actually make you full at all. Health
experts warn that the trend carries health risks, including potential
development of disordered eating behaviors and ingesting microplastics from the

(09:09):
cling of the plastic wrap that can enter your respiratory
system and digestive system. The trend, though, has garnered millions
of views and sparked widespread debate, but still some Americans
swear this is the best diet trend ever, lining your
mouth with plastic wrap, chewing some food in it and

(09:29):
then spitting it out.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Nina, is that a real new story or fakeness?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm gonna say real, just because there was also a
diet trend a few years back where people were eating
cotton balls to actually swallow them to make themselves full.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
The cotton balls would be in their stomach, and I
remember that one. So I'm going to go with real real.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
This is just the different direction, Victoria, Real or fake.
Americans are being more not to eat plastic wrap after
viral trend.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Real but so sad, please, like you don't need You're
not getting any food that no nutrition, and I really
wonder if you guys will taste it though, No, Nina,
I know, yeah, I know he's a freeze real news
story or fake news. I want to say it's fake,
but you know the way things are going out here
in these streets, I'm gonna say it's real.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, Unfortunately, that is a real news story. Don't put
plastic wrap in your mouth when you eat. Do you
