Warm up Discussion on food II. Vocabulary building Below, there is a food pyramid, which was created for people to understand how to eat healthily. It divides the different kinds of foods into different categories. In groups of 3, fit the pictures of food on the next page in the correct category of the pyramid. 1 Fats, Oils and Sweets (Use occasionally) 2 Milk group (2 servings) 3 Meat group (2 servings) 4 Vegetables (3-5 servings) 5 Fruits (2-4 servings) 7 Breads and Cereals group (6 or more servings) A HAMBURGER AND FRIED POTATOES H YOGURT O CHEESE 4 B NUTS I BREAD P CHERRY C BROWNIE J BUTTER Q PASTA D BEANS K MEAT R EGGS E MUFFIN L PIZZA S PASSION FRUIT F PAPAYA M FISH T RICE G MILK N CEREAL U POULTRY III. Discussion 5 1. Take a look at this new version of a food pyramid. 2. In groups, discuss the following questions:        What expression is normally used to describe the type of food above? What’s the main difference between the two kinds of food pyramids presented? Do you think it was a doctor who designed this pyramid? Why/Why now? Which one would you consider healthier? Why? Thinking about your own diet, which pyramid would better represent your eating habits? Can lack of time affect people’s eating habits? What do you think people can do to have a healthier diet ? FURTHER ACTIVITY: Check the following website in your house and learn much more about the food pyramid! You can also play games related to it! http://www.kidskonnect.com/FoodPyramid/FoodPyramidHome.html LET’S READ! 6 1. Read texts 1+2 or 3+4, according to the group you are in! Check glossary on page 7! 1. Cooking tips for busy people Australians spend about one third of their household budget on convenience foods such as takeaway and supermarket ready-to-eat meals. There are many reasons why people are cooking less often. People’s lives are busier; the two-income household can mean that neither partner has the time or energy to cook every night. There are also more people living alone, who often don’t want to cook for themselves. However, convenience foods are expensive and some are high in fat and salt. If you don’t have the time or motivation to cook, the following suggestions may be helpful. 2. Your pantry You may be tempted to order takeaway if your pantry is bare and you can’t face the thought of going to the supermarket. The secret is to stock long-life ingredients that can be combined in any number of ways to create interesting dishes. Suggestions include:   Buy extra of long-lasting vegetables like potatoes, carrots and onions, which can form the basis of soups. Stock plenty of dried pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, macaroni and varieties.        Keep a selection of other long-life carbohydrates like rice, Asian-type dry noodles and lentils. Use canned tomatoes, tomato paste, tinned corn and other vegetables. Stock a range of canned meats including tuna, salmon, sardines, beef and chicken. Include canned and packet soups. Have a stock of oils and vinegars including olive oil, sesame oil, balsamic vinegar and red wine vinegar for making a wide range of salad dressings with these ingredients if you include herbs and lemon juice. Useful condiments include tomato sauce, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, oregano help. Store a variety of nuts - these are a great meat alternative, especially in pasta or rice dishes. 7 3. Your freezer and fridge Keep your fridge and freezer stocked with handy healthy food. For example:        Buy frozen vegetables. Contrary to popular belief, these products retain a high proportion of their nutrients. Citrus fruits like oranges have a long life when refrigerated. Fresh lemon and lime juice can be bought in bottles and stored in the fridge. Grated cheese can be sealed and stored in the freezer to increase its shelf life. Buy red meat and chicken already sliced or marinated. When buying fresh meat, choose de-boned varieties. Divide the quantities into mealsized portions and freeze separately. Buy bread in bulk and keep it in the freezer until needed. Bake-at-home rolls can also be kept in the freezer to have as an accompaniment to many different meals. 4. Time saving suggestions        Make extra portions - while you’re making your pasta sauce or soup, make double (or even quadruple) the quantity you need. Freeze the remainder in meal portions, and you have readymade meals for later in the week or month. Double up on tasks - you can save time if you do two things at once. For example, prepare your pasta sauce while your spaghetti is cooking. Prepare easy meals - one-pot meals (such as soups, risottos, stews, curries and casseroles) save on washing up. Use a microwave - it’s easier and faster to microwave foods than cook them in the oven or on the cooker. Use small, thin chunks of food - they cook faster than big chunks. Don’t throw out leftovers - store them appropriately (such as refrigerated or frozen) for a quick meal the next day. Or reinvent the leftovers in a creative way; for example, pasta sauce can make the base for a pie filling. Cook the night before - for example, cook in the evening (when any children have gone to bed) and ask your partner, if you have one, to help you with the preparation like chopping vegetables. This will speed up the process and make it more fun. This means time-consuming recipes like soups or casseroles can cook while you relax in the evening.
