Task 3: Now complete this article with one of the words or expressions from Tasks 1 and

Most children enjoy eating 1 junk food, but scientific tests have shown us that burgers and
pizzas can lack essential 2 minerals and 3 vitamin, which are essential for health and
growth, while simultaneously containing large amounts of 4 fat and 5 carbohydrates which
can result inobesity and heart problems. Many children end up suffering from 6 malnutrion,
since they eat too much of the wrong sort of food. In fact, in many areas of the developed
world, a lot of children show similar symptoms to those in poorer developing countries,
where 7 scarity, of food causes thousands of deaths from starvation, especially in the wake
of natural disasters which ruin crops and in some cases totally destroy the annual 8 harvest.
Dieticians tell us that we must eat a 9 balanced diet, as it is essential we consume sufficient
quantities of the different food groups. They tell us that we should all eat more 10 fibre,
which cannot be digested by the body, and fewer foods which are high in 11 cholesterol, as
this can block the walls of arteries and lead to heart problems. This is good advice, of course,
but our lifestyles often make this difficult. Many of the ready-prepared foods we buy from
supermarkets are high in 12 calories, giving us more energy than we actually need.
13 Genetically modified foods are appearing on our supermarket shelves, even though
nobody is really sure if altering the composition of food cells is safe. We have the option, of
course, of buying 14 organic foods, but naturally-cultivated fruits and vegetables are
expensive. And to make matters worse, we are continually hearing about outbreaks of 15
salmonella and 16 listeria which put us off eating certain foods, as nobody wants to spend
time in hospital suffering from 17 food poisoning.
