阅读理解

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people, especially young

people, have become aware of the need to change their habits, because

much of the food they eat, particularly processed (加工的) food, is not

good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in

natural foods: foods which do not contain additives(添加剂) and which

have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming

today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which

have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms,

this means that the soil has been nourished(提供营养) by unused

vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals.

This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and

fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount, but not

the quality, of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed

and move freely in healthy gassy lands. Comparing this with what

happens in the mass production of poultry (家禽) , there are battery

farms, for example, where thousands of chickens lived crowded together

in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish.

Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also

produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving

increasing attention from experts on diet. It is obvious that nowadays

fibre (纤维) is considered to be an important part of a flour and of

course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the

national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour end vegetables,

certain diseases are comparatively rare. Therefore emphasis is placed on

the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts

on “healthy eating” .
