Food Safety
Read the passage (1)
What kind of food is good for us?
Fresh fruits 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 of vitamins and minerals for each day.

contain additives and colourants, which are chemicals that can be harmful to our health.

conscious young ladies, a thin layer of the best quality thanakha applied to their faces somewhat covers
pimples and acne on their faces. It also keeps them sweet-scented, cool and fresh the whole day. Some
young ladies find time to make decorative patterns such as that of a leaf, or flower. To teenage boys,
thanakha helps them hide the ugly pimples that begin to appear on their faces just at the age when they

freckles. To those who have to toil in the paddy fields, or sell things in the tropical sun, a thick layer of
thanakha definitely serves as a sun block, protecting their faces and limbs from sunburn. To a young man

URBANIZATION

dairy farms. The rural farmers of that countryside begin to find it more and more difficult to earn enough

livelihood. Here, the reason is economic. Sometimes, in some parts of the world, because of war, all the
people of a village are required to abandon their homes and find somewhere else to live. Here, the reason
is political. The number may not be large but there are rural families who move from the countryside to
towns and cities where there are better schools, colleges and universities for their children, as well as
