Bill Bryson's buying junk food... what about his wife?

19.09.2011

Hey guys,

today we made a quick recap of what we had said about the definition for junk food and we completed it. Here is what we said:

Eating too much junk food may lead to health problems such as:

- diabetes

- high blood pressure

- difficult pregnancy

- cholesterol

You should cut down on eating junk food and you ought to have a balanced diet.

Then we read the extract from "Notes from a big Country" entitled "Junk Food Heaven" and you had to find out whether the ingredients and food items mentionned in the text were healthy or unhealthy and discuss why.

Here is the chart we drew and the "remember" section:

Healthy

Ryvita (a special type of Swedish brown bread)

muesli

Milk (watch out! it depends if it is skimmed / low-fat or not )

broccoli

melons

mushrooms

Unhealthy

pizza

bacon

cheese

cookies

pancakes

cereals

peanut butter crunch

chocolate

Remember: If an ingredient is high in fat, sugar or starch and low in nutrients (proteins, calcium, vitamins,...), it is unhealthy.

HW: expliquez la différence majeure entre Bill et sa femme lorsqu'ils font les courses (quelle est cette différence et comment peut-on l'expliquer?) + vous devez vous préparer à un contrôle de phonétique sur les nouveaux mots de vocabulaire (pensez à vos formes réduites, ainsi qu'au nombre de syllabes parfois réduit également).
