Onions are part of our everyday life, but who
started eating and growing them first?
Many scientists and food historians believe onions
come from contral Asia.
Other researchers believe that onions were first
grown for 5,000 years
or more.
Onions may have become one of the earliest
cultivated crops because they didnt go bed quickly,
and they were easy to transport and grow.
Cricket is a traditional English sport played
with a bat and ball.
In this sense, cricket is similar to baseball.
Nevertheless, there are important differences, for
example, in the length of a game.
Whereas baseball games generally finish in a
few
hours, traditional cricket games can go on for
as long as five days.
Nowadays fewer and fewer people can take the
time
That is why shorter cricket matches have been
introduced.

I hear some govemments have banned the sale of
school cafeterias.
But the fact that so many students are still choosing
high-sugar, high-fat foods outside school suggests
governments familure so far.
I'm afraid the mere prohibition of junk food will
do le.
I would
say
to make
the most important thing is
children aware of why junk food is prohibited.
Policymakers should look for breador solutions in ander
to other their eating habito.
Speaker B
Eating habits and tastes are learned, not inherited
after all.
This means food served at home or school affect
childrens eating habits and tastes.
For example, babies instinctively reject the taste of
hot pepper.
In rural Mexico, however, almost all villagers over
the age of six eat hot peppers at all three meals.
Mothers gently introduce their one-or two-year-
eld children to the taste by giving them chilies in
stews, so that, by the age of five, most of the
children have acquired a liking for hot pepper and
usually add it to food themselves.
Chilies, cheap but nutritions, are as addictive as junk
food, yet much healthier.
I'm certain school as well as parents should take the
responsibilities for serving good food to children.

要約
Speaker C
I would like to focus
on
the school food problem.
Due to a tiny budget, some schools serve junk food
to their students, understanding that it is not good
for them.
Then rs + possible to provide a proper school food
on tiny budget?
The answer is in the TV show by a famous chef,
Jamie Oliver.
In the show, he tried to remove processed foods
and junk foods.
He faced a lot of difficulties but he overcome them
step by step.
In the end, he could manage to provide nutritious
school foods at only 37 pence, which is equivalent
to 70 yen in Japan.
He said, "It's not impossible to provide decont
school food on a tiny budget.
As I have proved so far, a tiny budget cannot
be an excuse any more."
I cant help but agree with him.

Governments should have children realize bad effects
of junk food and change their eating

Both schools and parents should get involved in
deciding what food is to be given to their children.
Speaker C
It is possible for schools to serve cheap but
healthy foods to their kids in some way or other.
