Nobody knows, either it is just an imagined fear or a real problem.

This problem could be solved and examined, but it will take some time.

Today there is another problem. It is modified food, which is cheaper that ordinary one.

Taste is a big factor. Culture, religion and health also play a part in what food we eat. Advertising and social factors also have a big influence.

The food we eat, depends on lots of things.

More and more people feel strongly about the way, their food is produced.

Nowadays so much of the basic food we eat — meat, fish, fruit and vegetables — is grown using chemicals and additives.

Although fertilizers and pesticides have greatly increased the quantity of food and helped to improve its appearance, there is a growing concern about the effects of these chemicals in the food chain.

This concern has led to a growth in the demand for organically grown products..

There is a rumour that such food can cause cancer and other problems.

Income is also an important factor. That is why not surprisingly, money, rather than a lack of knowledge about how to eat well, is at the heart of the problem.

Finally, there are three main messages to follow for healthy eating: First, we should eat less fat, particularly saturated fat. Secondly, we are to cut down on sugar and salt. Thirdly, we must eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.

Friendly fats are the unprocessed fats found naturally in foods like nuts and seeds, olives, avocados and oily fish, including tuna.

One more thing to know is that when food is cooked, its structure changes. It can change the vitamin and nutrient contents of food.
