Eating and drinking
Talking about types of food
- Tom: Kids eat far too much junk food.
- Lucy: Yeah, but it’s hard to get them to eat nourishing meals 1. They think they’re boring.
- Sergio: Have you tried the new supermarket yet?
- Jim: Yes. The fresh produce2 is excellent, and they have a big organic food section.
- Sergio: Mm, yes. I actually think their ready meals3 are good too.
- Liam: I can’t believe food additives4 are good for our long-term health.
- Ryan: No, and I think processed foods5 in general are probably bad for us, not to mention GM foods6!
- Stella: The restaurant was leaving perishable food7 lying round outside the fridge, and some people got food poisoning, so the authorities closed it down.
- Jaxon: Oh dear.
