Today I cereal for breakfast, and a salad for
lunch

Activity B., p 123
1 Yuna – if science teaches us that something is
unhealthy, we shouldn’t eat it
Sophy – of course; just because food is
traditional doesn’t mean it’s good for us; people
live longer now; science can tell when
something is really bad like toxins in fish
2 Felix – scientists always change their minds
about what is good for us; carbohydrates;
people eat all kinds of diets and stay healthy;
common sense and cultural traditions can tell
us what’s good for us
Marcus – don’t need scientist to tell us it’s bad
to eat fast food all the time; grandmother could
tell us that
Answers will vary Possible answers: I think
science should influence what we eat, because
it can teach us what’s unhealthy

Trang 2Answers will vary Sample answers:
1 I don’t usually pay attention to the results of
scientific studies Some advice that I do take
seriously is to eat lots of green vegetables
2 Three meals I have eaten lately are: rice with
chicken, a ham sandwich, and beet soup with
potatoes This food is not mostly plants, but
most of it was fresh I try to shop at the
outdoor market instead of the supermarket, but
sometimes I have to do what is most
convenient
3 Another benefit of an urban garden is that it
creates an open, green space in the middle of
buildings and concrete

trends (paragraph 2)

3 False; People depend on the media for most
of their information about health and

Activity G., p.139
Answers will vary Sample answers:
1 Maybe groundswells are more common
because major milestones don’t happen very
often Research happens all the time, but
recalls don’t
2 If people are interested in health and
nutrition, they can seek out books and
magazines on the topic However, with TV, they
have to wait for a program to air
3 Reporters use other reporters’ news instead
of finding new information, so even though
many reporters tell us about a topic, it all stems
from the same source
4 Science does not end There is always
something else to find out about
5 It is easier to observe the present than to
guess what will happen in the future
WRITE WHAT YOU THINK
Activity A., p 140
Answers will vary Sample answers:
1 I trust information from health care providers
most They are trained to understand research
and medicine
2 Trends in nutrition are different from trends
in music or fashion because what we eat can
greatly affect our health Trying a new style of
clothing or type of music is not nearly as risky as
changing our eating habits
Activity B., p 140
Answers will vary Sample answers:
1 I think the author of Reading 1 is likely to
have success Reading 2 shows how much
information on food is presented by media, but
I think this might suggest saturation of the
subject People are sick of reading about what
they should and shouldn’t eat
2 In Reading 1, the author is expressing his
opinion and trying to change our minds In
Reading 2, the author presents information
from different sources I think Reading 2 is
more objective because it doesn’t present just
one person’s opinion
3 I think Michael Pollan would not approve of
genetically modified food because it is not what
our great-grandparents ate Genetically
modified food may have characteristics that
make it less healthy than other food
