FOOD AND DRINK 

 
The topic i’m going to talk about is food and drink. First of all, i have to say 
that in spite of being very wide, there are some points of view needed to be 
treated; “new cuisine” is one of these. Nowadays, people are getting used 
to eating out,maybe due to the concept before, looking for a special and 
delicious dish which contains the most beautiful presentation ever seen, 
besides than a good wine or beer for the occasion. But does anybody know 
how much could that kind of dishes cost? Well, it’s supposed not to be 
cheap. This is, probably, one of the reasons that explains why there are a 
lot of people that prefer a hand-made dish instead of paying for another of 
better quality, because you know, “new cuisine” isn’t affordable for most 
people. Normally, we aren’t familiar with some unusual dishes like can be 
baked prawns, smoked turkey, lamb… or drinks like cocktails, expensive 
wines and so on. 
There is also another problem: the time. On weekdays we don’t have 
enough time in order to cook a healthy and a elaborated dish, so we are 
used to taking away food and drink of our nearest grocery store. 
No need to say that eating at home is safer than in restaurants, because 
we don’t know their cleaning standarts, all the ingredients they put in our 
food, how a dish has been done… 
As far as i considered, although sometimes i eat out with my family and 
friends, i wouldn’t change to eat at home but i’m thinking of telling them 
to go to a quality restaurant once, only if we share the check! 
Another point of view that also is a common healthy problem in our society 
are eatings habits. Stress, jobs, studies, new technology gadgets… are 
causing bad eating habits. The reason why overweigh is increasing almost 
in chilhood and junk food is very popular between youth people is that 
food with a lot of fat is considered the best,like burgers, and this has to 
change. Parents have to teach their children the importance of good eating 
habits, for instance, Mediterranean diet is one of the best tasteful food 
around the world and healthy too. It is full of vitamins and very rich in 
vegetables,fruits,eggs,olive oil,salads,meat… But for our ancestors, 
nowadays we wouldn’t have that good eating habits in Spain.
