1. Which restaurant would you choose to go and why?
I would choose a restaurant that serves authentic Indian cuisine. I love the bold flavors and spices used in Indian cooking, and it's always a treat to try new dishes. Plus, Indian cuisine often has many vegetarian options, which is great since I don't eat meat.
2. Have you ever tried foreign foods? Describe your experience.
Yes, I love trying new foods from different countries! One of my favorite foreign dishes is sushi, which is a Japanese dish made of rice, seafood, and vegetables. It's so delicious and fresh-tasting. I've also tried Vietnamese pho, which is a soup with noodles, vegetables, and meat or seafood. It has a really unique blend of flavors and spices that I enjoy.
3. Do you ever go on diets? Do you think diets work? Is dieting dangerous, in your opinion?
I have tried diets in the past, but I don't believe they work in the long term. They can be dangerous if they're too restrictive or don't provide enough nutrients. Instead, I try to focus on making healthier choices overall, like incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my meals and cutting back on processed foods.
4. Do you think that we eat better now than we did in the past? Explain your answer.
In some ways, I think we eat better now than we did in the past because we have more access to fresh produce and healthier options. However, there are also many processed and fast food options that are readily available and often cheaper, which can be detrimental to our health if consumed in excess. Additionally, the rise of convenience culture has made it easier to eat on the go, which may not always be the healthiest choice.
5. Do you agree with genetically modifying the food we eat? What are the advantages of genetically modified food? What are the disadvantages?
I think that genetically modifying food can have some advantages, like making crops more resistant to disease and pests, and increasing their nutritional value. However, there are also potential risks and downsides, such as the possibility of unintended consequences and environmental impact. It's important to carefully consider the pros and cons before making any decisions about genetic modification.
