WE A RE WHAT WE EAT

UNIT 3

u re ? t u f e h t f ood o f r e p u s e th

The number of people in the world is growing fast – every year there are about 70 million more people. So, we’ve got two questions that need answers: Have we got enough space on our planet for so many people? and How can we make sure they’ve all got enough food to live? Many people eat too much meat – steaks, beef burgers, sausages, etc. That’s not good for us and we need big farms to produce all that meat. The farms already use 30% of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy. However, we can do something to help. We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables – that’s healthy. We can also eat some different types of meat – creepy-crawlies! That’s right, grasshoppers, worms, flies and lots of other insects. They’re the superfood of the future. They’ve got a lot of protein. Protein is very important for our health, and it’s good for our hair and our skin.

Protein keeps our muscles and bones in good condition, too. There are two more reasons why insects are good food options: insect farms don’t need so much water and energy. Also, they don’t use so much space. For some people in countries in Asia and Latin America, eating insects is not unusual. But for people in Europe and many other countries, it seems very strange. What about you? Do you eat any healthy food? How much meat do you eat in a week? Perhaps you think you don’t eat insects? But maybe you’re wrong! Why’s that? Because the red food colouring that is in many things that we eat comes from … an insect called the ‘cochineal beetle’! Like 47

EATING

around the world Part I: The Inuits Hello, I’m Matt Silver, and this is an article from our new series ‘Eating around the world’. I’m writing this from Kulusuk, an Inuit village in Greenland. It’s a pleasant place in summer, with mild temperatures and fantastic views of the icebergs on the sea just in front of the village.

Matt

It’s a popular place for tourists in those months. But winters are long and hard, and the life for the 250 people in the village isn’t easy at all. The roads are covered in ice, and the sea is frozen, too. The Inuits don’t have a lot of choices for food. The summer is too short and not long enough for the Inuits to grow vegetables. They sometimes find berries during the warmer months. And they eat seaweed. But there are no other vegetables, so they don’t eat enough greens. There is a shop in the village, but during the winter it doesn’t get any fresh vegetables. This is why the Inuits eat lots of raw and boiled meat. They eat sea animals – seals, whales and fish – and they eat reindeer and other land animals. These animals have a lot of fat on them because it keeps them warm in the freezing temperatures. Do the Inuits eat too much fat? Isn’t that very dangerous?

Well, here’s the surprise: in the western world, people say ‘Don’t eat too much fat!’ But the Inuits eat a lot of animal fat and they are healthy, perhaps because they eat boiled rather than fried meat. Life for the people from Kulusuk can be difficult but they are healthy. Maybe we can learn a lot from them!

OLD FILMS, GREAT FAMILIES

A LL IN T HE FA M I LY

UNIT 4

I love old films and my family loves them, too. My mum and dad always talk about a really old film called Swiss Family Robinson, also a book, about a Swiss family who find themselves on a desert island when their boat sinks. And do you know what? I like it, too. So guys – here’s today’s topic. Old films about families. So you know my opinion, what about yours? 3 comments reply to post

How about the Home Alone films in the 1990s, all about 8-year-old Kevin McCallister? The first one is definitely the best. Kevin’s parents forget to take him on the family Christmas holiday. Kevin is happy at first because he’s got the whole house to himself and his brothers and sisters aren’t there to annoy him. He has lots of fun stopping two silly criminals from robbing the family home. But he starts to miss his family and on Christmas morning he gets the best present of all – everyone comes back home! It was funny then and it’s still funny now. Emma, Brighton

Whose favourite family is the Parrs in The Incredibles? Remember them? The Parrs are like most families. You know, they fight and argue and have fun. But they’re also a family of superheroes. Dad is super strong. Mum is super stretchy. Violet, their eldest child, can turn invisible, and then nobody can see her. Her younger brother Dash is super fast and her baby brother Jack-Jack has laser eyes. I think those films are great, old or not. Max, Birmingham

I like your comments, Max and Emma. And here is mine. The Addams Family! They’re a really strange family who live in a normal town. They all wear black. They live in a huge old house. Other families think they’re a little bit scary, but the Addams family don’t care. The parents, Gomez and Morticia, and their children, Wednesday and Pugsley, are happy being different. And there’s Cousin It, too. He (or she – no one is sure) is covered in fur. And finally there is Uncle Fester, Gomez’s brother. They’re one of the best loved screen families of all time – in my house, anyway! Moira, Edinburgh

SUZ MUM HER MUM ES HER SAVES IE SAV SUZIE One day Suzie McCash went shopping with her mum in Tynemouth, England. Suzie was four years old. Her mum didn’t feel very well at the shops, so they went home. In the house, Suzie’s mum went to lie on the sofa. She was there for a long time. Her eyes were shut and it wasn’t easy for her to breathe. Suzie was worried. Was her mum really ill? Suzie went to the house next door, but the neighbours weren’t there. So she phoned 999 – the emergency telephone number for the police. The police officer was very kind and Suzie was calm. OFFICER: SUZIE: OFFICER: SUZIE:

‘What’s your mummy doing now?’ ‘Um, she’s just sitting on the sofa and she’s doing nothing.’ ‘Are her eyes open?' ‘No, they’re shut.’

And later…

OFFICER: ‘Can you open the door? Can you be a big girl?’

Soon the police were at their house and an ambulance was there, too. About an hour later, Suzie’s mum was OK again. A doctor said: ‘Her mummy was very sick. Without Suzie’s phone call, her mummy might be dead now.’ Suzie’s story was in the newspapers and people were surprised and happy about it. She was a very brave girl and, a year later, she was in the news again because she was named a Child of Courage at the Pride of Britain Awards for helping her mother.

Family traditions around the world

Read and listen to the article. Write the names of the countries under the photos. 4.06

3 What family traditions are there in your country?

FAMILY TRADITIONS around the world

The idea of the family is important all over the world and many countries have special occasions to celebrate it. Let’s look at a few …

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL – GERMANY In Germany, the first day at school is a very important time for all children. There is a special event called an Einschulung. Everyone in the family meets to give the child presents, like pens and books, for their new school life. For the first day of school, parents give their children a large paper cone called a Schultüte. Inside there are things for school and sweets.

REMEMBERING YOUR ANCESTORS – JAPAN In traditional Japanese houses you often find a butsudan. A butsudan is a special place where you go to remember your dead relatives. People usually put things on the butsudan for their ancestors: a book, some flowers or a bowl of rice, for example. Adults also tell stories about these people to their children so they are not forgotten.

LOOKING AFTER ANIMALS – INDIA Pets are popular in many cultures around the world. Looking after an animal helps a child learn how to be responsible. Every year in India there is a Hindu festival called Thai Pongal. During the festival families feed cows and birds to give thanks for these animals. Children also learn that all living things are connected and must share the world together.

WRITING POEMS – THE NETHERLANDS

In the Netherlands people celebrate the winter holiday on the 5th December. This holiday is called Sinterklaas. People give each other presents, but they also have a very special tradition. Each member of the family writes their name on a piece of paper and puts it in a hat. Everyone then takes a name from the hat and writes a poem about this person. Everyone sits in a circle and reads out their poems.
