Topic: Diet and health
What foods are most nutritious? What foods are not very nutritious?
Most dieticians agree that foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar are not beneficial to health. These included fast food, junk food, and snacks. [Crack IELTS with Rob] The trouble is that these foods are appetizing, so it is difficult to cut down on them. On the other hand, vegetables, fruits, and fresh meat are suggested to eat with a greater amount. However, unfortunately, they usually cost an arm and a leg. So it is difficult for the poor to afford it.
Are there many vegetarians in your country?
