Bên cạnh những nhà hàng cùng vô vàn món ăn ngon và đẹp mắt, chúng ta cũng phải lưu tâm đến chế độ ăn và sức khoẻ của bản thân để có thể chọn lựa những món ăn dinh dưỡng và tốt cho sức khoẻ. Đây cũng là vấn đề mà nhiều người rất quan tâm, và BEC sẽ giúp bạn tìm hiểu thông qua một số câu hỏi sau đây nhé. 

II/ DIET AND HEALTH: 

1- What foods are the most nuitritious and what foods are not very nuitritious? 

Most dieticians agree that food high in fat, salt and sugar are very good for you. These include a lot of fast food like burgers, fries and pizza. The trouble is, these foods also taste great, so it can be tough cutting down on them. Healthier foods are vegetables, fruits, fish and bread. Many countries recommend that people eat an average of five pieces of fruit or vegetables a day, just to stay healthy. Many people don't manage that. It's mostly cheaper foods that are less nutritious, like instant noodles, so it can be hard for a poor person to eat healthily if they don't have much money to spend on food. 

A dietician: chuyên gia dinh dưỡng	To cut down on sth: cắt giảm cái gì
High in fat: nhiều chất béo	Less nuitritious: ít bổ dưỡng hơn

2- Are there many vegetarians in Vietnam? 

Historically, vegetarianism has been common in Vietnam for over two thousand years. Vegetarianism is often taken up for religious reasons, and it is common amongst people who practice Buddhism. In modern Vietnam, however, vegetarianism is not mainstream, and it can be difficult to find dishes that do not contain meat. Although vegetables are considered healthy, they are also seen as lacking fortifying properties, and people think that if you don't eat meat, you will become weak. You can find vegetarian restaurants in many big cities in Vietnam, but it can be hard to find them in rural ares where people's views are less modern. 

Vegetarianism: việc ăn chay	Fortifying property: thuộc tính năng lực
A religious reason: lý do tôn giáo	Rural areas: vùng nông thôn
Mainstream: phổ biến

3- Do you think advertising has an effect on what foods people eat? 

Without a doubt, advertising can have a big impact on what people eat. If you're watching television and feeling hungry, and an advert comes on telling you that is particular food is delicious, then naturally you'll want to eat it. This is especially true for children, who are most easily persuaded by advertising. It's unfortunate that most food advertising is for snack and junk food because these are generally unhealthy. You don't see many adverts for fruit or veggies. 

Without a doubt: chắc chắn	Junk food: thức ăn vặt
Naturally: tất nhiên	Veggies: rau củ
Unfortunate: không may

4- Do you think that junk food should be banned? 

Although junk food is unhealthy and contribute to many health problems, banning it entirely would be a huge overreaction. It would be a knee jerk response to the problem. It's unfair to stop people eating junk food entirely. Many people enjoy eating junk food in moderation, maybe once every couple of weeks, so it does not affect their health too much. It's not right to stop them eating the food they like. Banning junk food entirely too harsh by far. If people get fat because they eat too much junk food, that is their fault. They don't have to eat it. We should trust people to make their own choices. 

To contribute: góp phần vào	In moderation: có chừng mực
A huge overreaction: phản ứng quá gay gắt	Harsh: khắc nghiệt
A knee jerk response: phản ứng thiếu suy nghĩ
