Healthy Eating
Sometimes people are curious① to know what type of food is healthy and what kind of food may hurt our health.The United States' Department of Agriculture has prepared a small book to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat.The book describes② six basic food groups: meat,dairy (things made from milk),grains,fruits,and vegetables.The last group is fat,oil,and sweets.
As a result of③ years of research,we know that too much④ fat is bad for⑤ our health.For example,Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of⑥ grains,fruits,and vegetables.Because of this,they often get cancer and heart disease.In Japan,on the other hand⑦,people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat.They also have a very low rate (比率) of cancer and heart disease.In fact,the Japanese live longer than people in any other country.Unfortunately,when Japanese people move to the United States,the rate of heart disease and cancer increases as their diet changes.
