CHANGING EATING HABITS

1 _____
Eating habits change over time. After World War 2, some food was still hard to find and supermarkets hadn’t yet
arrived in Britain. People generally ate healthy food because they had to. as vegetables were cheaper to buy than
meat. It was still rare to find food from distant countries in the shops so people ate what was growing locally.

2 _____
In the 1960s and 1970s new products started appearing in the supermarkets of Britain. There were tins of food in
all sorts of interesting sauces and a popular packet of potato powder which you just mixed with boiling water. A
meal could be on the table in just a few minutes with no peeling or other work required.

3 _____
After a few years of food which was convenient but not exactly mouth-watering or natural, people wanted
something more tasty again. TV chefs became popular with their easy-to-follow recipes full of interesting
ingredients. People became food lovers, wanting to discover previously unknown dishes, perfect their cooking
technique and show off their amazing creations to guests.

4 _____
In the 1970s and 1980s, overseas travel wasn’t as easy or cheap as it is now but immigration brought foreign
foods to Britain. A trip to a Chinese or Indian restaurant allowed customers to try curries and sweet and sour
dishes in beautifully decorated rooms where they could imagine they had swapped their dull hometown for an
exotic foreign country.

5 _____
In the new millennium, it seems that everyone now has different demands. Some are on a diet, others want to
become vegetarian or vegan. They may want to know what the food is high in or low in or whether the
vegetables were locally grown or not. Others only eat gluten-free, dairy-free or sugar-free products, even if there
is no medical need to do so.
