REVISION UNIT 3: HOW HEALTHY DO YOU EAT?

JUNK FOOD AND ‘REAL FOOD’

A lot of people around the world are getting fat because they eat too much “junk food”. (1)

Junk food is food that has a lot of calories, but not many nutrients.
Nutrients are things that your body needs, such as vitamins, minerals and fiber. (2)
Most “fast food”, such as KFC and stuff sold in packages, is junk food. It comes from factories, where
scientists add refined sugar, salt and vegetable oil to make it taste good. They do this because they want to
make money. They do not care about your health: that is your job. (3)
Junk food does taste good, too. That’s why people drink huge bags of “iced tea” and Coke, and eat a big
bag of potato chips, and still feel hungry. Their brains keep telling them to eat because it knows the body does
not have all the nutrients it needs. (4)
Humans evolved eating three main kinds of food: meat, vegetables and fruit. These are “real foods”.
Things like refined sugar, flour and vegetable oil are not part of a human’s natural diet. (5)
In America, which has the most obese people, it is hard for poor people to find ‘real food’. Fresh vegetables
and meat are only sold in supermarkets, and they are more expensive than junk foods. In America, more poor
people are obese than rich people. Even people in prisons are obese. (6)
Here, we are lucky real food is still available – but so is junk food.
Your body is the most valuable thing you will ever have in your life, so you should treat your body like a temple
– not a garbage bin. Don’t eat junk food. (7)
