Ex. 2. What substances are vital important for living things? What food is rich in these substances?

Protein – any of a large group of nitrogenous compounds of high molecular weight that are essential constituents of all living organisms. They consist of one or more chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds and are folded into a specific three-dimensional shape maintained by further chemical bonding.

Fat – any of a class of naturally occurring soft greasy solids that are esters of glycerol and certain fatty acids. They are present in some plants and in the adipose tissue of animals, forming a reserve energy source, and are used in making soap and paint and in the food industry.

Carbohydrate [,ka:bəu`haidrəit] – any of a large group of organic compounds, including sugars, such as sucrose, and polysaccharides, such as cellulose, glycogen, and starch, that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula Cm(H2O)n: an important source of food and energy for animals.

4. Dr. Heidi Cornfield, a professor of food science, is being interviewed about her new book, What’s for Dinner? Listen to (read) the interview and find out: What does she think is wrong with the American diet?

What’s for Dinner?

Interviewer: You have some very strong ideas about what Americans eat, Professor Cornfield. Could you tell our audience about some of them?

Cornfield: I’d be delighted. First, I think that Americans eat too much meat. We can get protein from other types of food, not just meat. For example, tofu is rich in protein. We really don't need to eat meat to live.

Interviewer: Maybe, but some or our listeners really like nice thick juicy hamburgers. They mightnot need them, but they sure like them.

Cornfield: I agree with you. But there are health reasons to stop eating meat.

Interviewer: What do you mean, Professor?

Cornfield: Eating meat, especially beef, can cause heart disease. Thousands of Americans die from heart disease every year.

Interviewer: That’s interesting. Are there other rea­sons why we should stop eating meat?

Cornfield: Yes. Did you know that eating meat hurts, even destroys, the environment?

Interviewer: I don't understand. How?

Cornfield: It is a fact that rain forests in Central America are being destroyed to produce cheap beef to export to other countries, including the United States. And that ham­burger you like so much – well, it takes 20 square meters of rain forest for each burger!

Interviewer: Oh, no. But I don't like to eat tofu.

Cornfield: That's OK. There are other good foods to eat.

Interviewer: Well, were almost out of time. Do you have any final comments?

Cornfield: There are many more interesting factsin my book Think about this one before you order your next burger: In the last 300 years, Americans have cut down over half of their trees to get land to grow food to feed cattle – all because people think they need meat.
