The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do not eat any ‘fish, flesh or fowl’ Mosteat dairy products Those who don’t are called vegans I tell students not to turn vegetarian until they have becomeknowledgeable about nutrition, and especially about protein It’s very easy to become a sick vegetarian
And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing added, and nothing taken away.For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white flour, which has had had bleach added In all, no refinedcarbohydrates are eaten and very fatty and additive-laden foods are avoided and the stress is on fresh products of thebest quality And that’s all – except you must then find recipes which are both healthy and delicious because you’llhave to cook it all yourself Very few ready-bought meals fulfill both requirements
76 ‘Men for Meat’ is a _
A cookery group B group of men C group of vegetarians D group that eat all kinds of food
Trang 2877 The writer of this article feels a ‘certain sympathy’ for this group because _.
A She is a vegetarian B They don’t know much about vegetarian cooking
C “whole food” and “vegetarian” are not the same D her students do not eat meat
78 A whole food diet _
A has a lot of nutrition B is easy to eat C is added with flour D is often fresh.
79 According to the writer, what is wrong with ready bought meals for vegetarians?
A They can’t be both healthy and delicious C They contain some additives
B They can be cooked easily D They have best quality
80 What is NOT true about the writer?
B She is a vegetarian D She dislikes ready bought meals
