Topic2. Diet Wars

We can see easily that kind of following situation. The attitude toward diet is big problem these days. Let's see ourselves and discuss about diet.

Episode1

A: Jamie, you look great! You look like you've lost a lot of weight.

B: Do you think so? Actually, I have been on a very strict diet since last month.

A: I'm always dieting, but it never seems to work for me! Tell me, what's your secret?

B: Well, it's very simple. I just eat less and exercise more!

Episode2

On a diet:

Being overweight is bad for one's health because it leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.

Medical science has proved that animal fats and an excessive amount of sugar are harmful to one's health.

Fat people suffer psychologically and physically.

It is hard for fat people to get suitable ready-made clothes.

Fat people are unattractive to look at.

Fat people get tired easily.

Fat people should put themselves on a diet because they eat more than they really need.

Dieting is associated with sensible and rational living.

Dieting leads to longevity.

Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.

Dieting does more harm than good to one's health for the simple reason that a dieter suffers constantly from malnutrition.

Dieters lead a miserable life because they are forever hungry and, at the same time, they have to go through the torture of watching others enjoy their three meals a day.

Dieters do not enjoy life fully. They miss one of the most import!ant things in good food.

Many people diet not because they really want to live a healthy life, but because they are vain.

Dieters may lose some weight. Once they stop, however, they gain weight again, which is more harmful to one's health.

Those on a diet are simple senseless. They try to keep their "good figures" at the expense of their health.
