Read the passages below and choose the correct answer among A, B, C or D.
The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat more healthily - more fruits and vegetables, less fat and sugar. So that means fewer burgers, chips and fried food as well as cutting down on sweet things We went into central London yesterday at lunchtime and asked people what they thought about it. “It’s got nothing to do with the government what I eat,” says Paul Keel, a building worker, as he eats a beef burger and chips washed down with strawberry milkshake. “I think I have a healthy diet. You see, I don't normally eat a beef burger for lunch. Normally I just have chips.” Any fish? “I like cod. But I've only ever had it once.” Tim Kennor, a librarian, welcomes the government advice. But he also has his own rules. “I think,” he explains, eating his fried chicken and chips, “it's important to eat a variety of food.” We then asked Dorothy Matthews, aged 74. “I don't think it's the government’s business to tell us what to eat.” We went into Simpson's Restaurant and asked the manager if people changed what they were eating. “I don't think people believe all these reports anymore. What they say is good for you in June, they say is bad for you in July. People have stopped taking notice. We serve what we’ve always served Almost all of it is fattening.”
