I only eat food that tastes good.
How important is keeping healthy to you? A group of young people got together to discuss this question. Hereâs part of their discussion.
Peter: Iâd like to stay healthy, but to be honest, I only eat food that tastes good. And if food tastes good, itâs usually bad for you, isnât it? Cola tastes better than water, for example.
TONY: Well, food that is bad for you can taste good! But I prefer not to eat too much food that is fried, like, er, French fries. Do you eat fast food, Laura?
Laura: Do I eat fast food? Never! I love to eat food that is healthy. I want to take care of my health, so I eat mainly fruit and vegetables. Oh! And I stay away from sugar, you do too, donât you?
TONY: Hm, yes. And I think most people are in agreement that fruit and vegetables are good for health. But, um, I would say that fast food itself isnât always bad for you, but too much of it is not good.
Laura: Actually, donât you know that itâs been found in laboratory testing (that some types of oil are really bad for us?) So I donât eat anything thatâs been cooked in oil. Also, did you know that some foods might cause cancer? Like burnt barbecued meat. Iâve heard eating burnt food like this can increase the risk of cancer.
Peter: Really! But I love to eat meat thatâs well cooked, even if it is a little burnt. Itâs delicious, and meat isnât really dangerous, is it?
Laura: Oh! Yes, it is! I never eat meat. Itâs not at all good for our health. If I were you, Iâd eat nuts instead.
TONY: Well, I agree itâs good to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, but I think itâs also fine to eat some meat or fish. People (who eat a balanced diet) should be healthier than those (who only eat biscuits and hamburgers,) shouldnât they? I prefer to only eat food that I like, but isnât it important to eat food thatâs healthy, even if you donât like it? The main thing is to have a good balance.
