Exercise 5. Read the text. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?
The Scottish are famous all over the world for their bad diets and thousands of
people in Scotland die from heart disease and cancers – as a result of the food they
eat. Scientists for the British Heart Foundation say that they can save the lives of
4,000 people in Scotland. How? The Scottish should eat like the English. This does
not mean that the English diet is healthy, only that it isn’t as unhealthy as the
Scottish diet!
The scientists studied the shopping baskets of the two countries and this is
how the two countries compare: in general, people in Scotland eat more fatty foods
and salt, and fewer fruits and vegetables every day than the English. On average,
people in Scotland eat 7.5g of salt every day, compared with 7g in England. People
in Scotland eat about 951g of vegetables a week, compared with 1190g in England.
The study also says that the English eat just under 2,300 calories a day, but
in Scotland it is about 2,400. Perhaps this sounds a small difference – it’s similar to
an extra glass of milk every day – but over a year, that’s an extra 36,500 calories.
