IELTS Speaking Part 3 - Healthy Food

1.  Is it important to you to eat healthy food?

Of course, yes! Just like you can’t put substandard fuel in a car and expect high performance, your body can’t function optimally if you eat poor quality foods. You have to treat your body like a temple.

2.  Why do you think some people choose to be vegetarians?

People become vegetarians for many reasons, including health, religious convictions, concerns about animal welfare or the use of antibiotics and hormones in livestock, or a desire to eat in a way that avoids excessive use of environmental resources. Some people follow a largely vegetarian diet because they can’t afford to eat meat. Vegetarianism has become more appealing and accessible, thanks to the year-round availability of fresh produce, more vegetarian dining options, and the growing culinary influence of cultures with largely plant-based diets.

3.  Is the food that people eat today in your country different from the food that people used to eat in the past? (if yes, in what ways has it changed?)

Personally, eating style of most people has changed recently. Significantly, food hygiene is mentioned every day in the news. Therefore, people are very cautious when they choose ingredients in reliable market/supermarket and cook properly. Those fat-free or low-fat food and veggies are more preferred in daily meal compared to in the past, choosing food were mostly based on interests.

4.  More and more people are becoming overweight nowadays. What do you think might be the causes of this?

One major consequence of eating fast food every day is excess calorie consumption. Most fast food contains calories from refined sugar and fats. It is also high in sodium from salt and other addictive substance which can cause someone to eat it more and more. Consuming more calories than human needs leads to obesity which causes some health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.
