XIII. Read the text and choose the correct option for the statements that follow
Sometimes, people are not sure about what type of food is healthy, and what kind of food can be
harmful to our health. The USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) has prepared a
food guide to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat. The food
guide describes six basic food groups: meat (beef, fish, chicken, etc.), dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese
etc.), grains (bread, cereal, rice, etc.), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats, oil, and sweets.
The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat every day. Although
this guide was prepared by the U.S. government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example,
Americans eat a lot of meat, but only a small amount of grain, fruit and vegetables. Because of
their diet, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large
amounts of grain and very little meat. Therefore, the

XIII. Read the text and choose the correct option for the statements that follow
Sometimes, people are not sure about what type of food is healthy, and what kind of food can be
harmful to our health. The USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) has prepared a
food guide to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat. The food
guide describes six basic food groups: meat (beef, fish, chicken, etc.), dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese
etc.), grains (bread, cereal, rice, etc.), fruit, and vegetables. The last group is fats, oil, and sweets.
The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat every day. Although
this guide was prepared by the U.S. government, it is very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example,
Americans eat a lot of meat, but only a small amount of grain, fruit and vegetables. Because of
their diet, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large
amounts of grain and very little meat. Therefore, the
