1. WE ARE WHAT WE EAT 10’’B’’ My teacher is Zhanna A. Kaplina

3. Do we live to eat? How much food do you think you will eat by the time you are seventy-nine? The average Frenchwoman, for example, will eat: 25 cows 40 sheep 35 pigs 1,200 chickens 2.07 tonnes of fish 5.05 tonnes of potatoes 30,000 litres of milk 13,000 eggs 50,000 loaves of bread 9,000 litres of orange juice 6,000 litres of mineral water 1.37 tonnes of apples 768 kg of oranges 2.07 tonnes of fish 430 bags of carrots 5.05 tonnes of potatoes 720 kg of tomatoes 30,000 litres of milk 1,300 lettuces 13,000 eggs Hundreds of packets of coffee, sugar, spaghetti, 8 kg of dirt etc.

4. Delicious, isn’t it? How many cows and pigs have you swallowed already? Scientists say that we eat about half-a-ton of food a year – not counting drink! Some people eat even more.

5. Why? We live in the era of fast food culture. We are always in a hurry. We have no time to relax and enjoy a meal. We want to eat fast. Every day a new McDonald’s restaurant opens somewhere on our planet. Soon American food will take over the whole world.

6. Put down this packet of chips and listen up! What is tasty is not always healthy.

7. Doctors say that chips and pizzas are fattening, Coca- Cola spoils our teeth, coffee shortens our lives. If you go on eating too much, you’ll become obese, and obesity leads to heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Some scientists believe that food influences not only our bodies but our spirits as well.

8. Foods with lots of additives, fat or sugar can make you violent and anti-social. Natural foods like fresh fruit and vegetables which contain lots of vitamins and minerals can make you more intelligent, optimistic and energetic. So think twice before you start eating!

9. Being veggie is ‘in’ More and more people now days become vegetarians. A vegetarian diet is not only healthier, but it is also kinder. Animals grown for meat production are now kept in special factory farms. Pigs, calves and chickens are locked in boxes and cannot even turn around! Calves are kept thirsty - the lack of liquid keeps the meat white! If you really care about animals-and most of us do- stop eating them!

10. To Be or Not to Be… A Veggie Some people still believe that you can’t live without meat. But modern scientific research shows that all the nutrients we need for a healthy life can be found in plants. If you went to the slaughterhouse to see how animals are killed, you wouldn’t eat meat

11. And What Do You Think??? WHY NOT? YOU EAT OTHER ANIMALS,DON’T YOU?
