Dietary habits in your country(B2 Writing---Comment) I would like to share my opinion. Recently it has become more important to me to eat healthier, as I don’t have the time for the exercise that could compensate for the effects of much sugar and fat to a certain degree. However, this isn’t so easy, given that our traditional meals are based on a great amount of fat and salt. The average Hungarian person consumes thrice the amount of salt officially recommended. One might think these types of food are more popular in villages or small towns, but actually national dishes are widespread even in big cities of Hungary. Moreover, we don’t eat enough vegetables nor fruits. We eat a lot of meat and pastry. These things combined, it’s no wonder that high percentage of deaths are related to cardiovascular diseases. Some say it’s because of convenience foods. I disagree, since these products have to obey strict regulations and you can always read what’s inside, nutrition-wise. Though, if you cook your meal, you’ll know the exact ingredients, which can have a greater variety, or can be a lot cheaper than eating the same in a restaurant, so it might be worth your time after all. Overall, in my eyes the diet we have is equally as important if not more than what and how much we exercise, and we should pay more attention to what is served on or plates. (Task was: Write your opinion (ca. 200 words) and include the following: • dietary habits in your country • how healthy your national dishes are • your opinion on the convenience foods (for example: frozen or oven-ready meals) • cooking at home or eating in restaurants (why) • the influence of diet on preserving health )
