Junk Food or not Junk Food....? That is the question!

16.09.2011

Hi guys,

today we corrected your homework and we discussed the notion of junk food to really determine what it was. In the end we concluded that there were 3 types of junk food items and we made a short list according to the main ingredients:

Junk food items are either...

High in sugar:

cookies

maple syrup

peanut butter

candy

golden syrup

chocolate

biscuits

... or ...

High in fat:

hamburgers

peanuts

crisps / ! chips / French fries

cream

golden syrup

nuggets

bacon

... or ...

High in starch:

hot dogs

hamburgers

biscuits

Definition:

A junk food item is a type of food which is unhealthy because it's either high in sugar, fat or starch.

It means we should limit / cut down on our consumption of junk food.

Either.....or..... = options

We also did some pronunciation recap and we reviewed some important rules that help make a difference.
