I. Read the passage.

Food is something we eat or drink. Rice is food. Milk is food. Bread is food. Butter, cheese,
vegetable, beef, mutton, fish, fruits are all food. In fact, water too is food.
We need food mainly for health, energy and growth. Our body need a daily supply of starch,
sugar, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. All these can be found in the food we eat. Rice, wheat,
potatoes. eggs, chickens, beef, mutton, fish, vegetables and fruits contain one or more of those.
Something, however, we eat or drink something, not for our health, but just for the pleasure of enjoying
the taste of something as ice cream, cake, peanuts, or popcorn. The more active we are, the more food we
need.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are good for us because they contain vitamins and minerals. Eggs, milk,
cheese, fish, chicken, beef, and mutton are good for us because they contain proteins. Rice, bread, and
potatoes give us carbohydrate for the starch and sugar we need for our daily activities.
One thing we need to be careful about is that we should never eat more than we need. After all,
too much of anything is not good. All doctors advise us to have a ‘balanced diet’. A ‘ balanced diet’ is ‘ a
combination of the correct types and amounts of food.’ If we have a balanced diet, we will get the right
amount if vitamins and minerals for each day.
