Food is
an essential part of our daily life. One famous English saying goes “We
are what we eat”, and it’s true. The food we eat can influence our body
and our mind. It contains nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins,
minerals, fats, carbohydrates. Different products contain different
nutrients. For example, we can get lots of vitamins eating fruit and
vegetables. As for me, I like salads very much but I don’t like meat
products. The food we choose to eat depends on many factors. First and
the most important is the taste. If we like the taste of the product, we
often eat it. The second factor is its nutritional value. If the
product is healthy and useful for our body, we should add it to our
ration. Other factors include culture and religion. Advertising also
influences our choices a lot. When we see colourful ads on TV, we decide
to try the product. For some people food is just a fuel for energy. For
me, it’s a pleasure. I like almost everything, except meat products and
spinach. My usual day includes three or four meals. For breakfast, I
prefer a cup of tea with a cheese and ham sandwich. Sometimes I eat
cereal with milk and drink a glass of orange juice. For lunch, I prefer
salads from fresh vegetables and a soup. At about 5pm I have a cup of
coffee with shortcake. For dinner, I like pasta or rice with vegetables.
Sometimes I eat French fries and hamburgers but I know that it contains
a lot of fat. That’s why I try to cut down on fast food. I also try to
it less sugar and salt
