6月6日110198 ML Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Food in the past was much healthier than today. We are what we eat, as the proverb say. When we decide whichfoods to eat and how to prepare them, our choices do much more than please ourtaste buds - they also affect our health. Food and health is the topic ofendless discussion, which also brings about some controversy. Some people claimthat food in the past is much healthier than today, for both foodstuff itselfand the cooking methods are more natural. From my perspective, thanks to therapid advance of technology, and the government supervision on food safety,it's not surprising that the food today are much healthier. The development of technology enables us to have incrediblevariety of food, which satisfies our increasing need of the different kinds ofnutrition. As we all know, some critical nutrition, such as protein, vitaminand calcium, are mostly acquired through balanced diets. However, due to thelack of food, people in the past may find it hard to meet their need of energyinput, let alone to have adequate nutrition. As a result, numerous peoplesuffered nutritional deficiency. Fortunately, advanced agronomic techniquesmake it possible for us to easily attain abundant food. At the same time, theconvenient transportation system has ensured the freshness. We can easily pickup vegetables, fruits and dairy products according to our need. Furthermore, along with the increasing awareness of thesignificance of food health, the government has attached greater importance tothe issue. Government agencies has take the responsibilities for setting foodsafety standards, conducting inspections, ensuring the standards are met, andmaintaining a strong enforcement program to deal with those who do not complywith standards. For example, on January 4, 2011, the Food Safety ModernizationAct(FSMA) was signed into law by President Obama, which enables the Food andDrug Administration(FDA) to protect public health by strengthening the foodsafety system. It allows FDA to focus more on the preventing food safetyproblems, rather than reacting to the problems after they occur. Under thesevere protection of the government, it's not surprising that the food today ishealthier than in the past, when little attention was paid on food safety. Last but not least, some new professions, such as dietitiansand nutritionists, have come up nowadays. They are experts in food andnutrition. They work in hospitals, cafeterias or schools, advising people onwhat to eat in order to lead a healthy life. With their help, people are ableto know how to select and prepare food in a scientific and healthy way. Moreover,universities also offer the courses in food and health and related training forthose who want to become a dietitian or nutritionist in the future. Though the advantages of food now are considerable, weshould never deny that food in the past has some minor advantages. Food in thepast is more natural with little contamination. Comparatively, we eat junkfood, non-nutritional food sometimes. However, if we treat it properly andbuild healthy eating habits, the problems can be neglected. In a nutshell, with the help of advanced technology and thesevere supervision of the government, there's no doubt that the food we havetoday is much healthier. 字数:532 时间:不计时 这篇作文耗时挺长的,我就不好意识说具体时间了。也查了很多信息,希望能够将文章写得丰满一点,也为之后的作文积累一点素材。 狠狠地批吧~~ 发现错误,就是学习新知识的开始~~ |
