Waiter:Are you ready to order
Janet: Yes. I’m trying to eat more healthily,so I’ll just have a salad to start.
Waiter: Sure. What kind of dressing would you like on that
Janet:I’d like to have...
Harriet:[interrupting]Not a good idea,Janet. Salad with dressing always has a lot of sugar
and fat,as well as unhealthy chemicals.
Janet:Oh dear,maybe I won’t have any dressing,then.
Waiter: OK. Do you want anything to drink We have soft drinks,juice,tea and coffee.
Janet: The juice must be healthy. It comes from fruit, right I think I’ll have that.
Harriet: Don’t be so sure! Did you know that a lot of fruit juice only has a small amount of real
fruit It mainly contains chemicals that taste like fruit. Even 100% fruit juice can have as
much sugar as soft drinks.
Janet:Uh,maybe I’ll just have some water,then.
Waiter:Fine. How about dessert
Janet:Do you have fat-free yoghurt
Harriet:[interrupting]Sorry,but there’s a big problem with fat-free yoghurt,Janet. Yoghurt
tastes very bad without fat. That’s why they add a lot of sugar to make it taste better. And
you know sugar can be harmful if you eat too much.
Janet: Oh,I see. Thanks for the advice,Harriet...I’ll have a salad with no dressing and a glass
of water. And I won’t have dessert.
Waiter:No problem. And,for you,madam What would you like to order
Harriet: Oh,I’ll have a double hamburger with French fries and a cola.
Janet:What
Harriet: Aha...Just joking. I’ll have the same as she ordered. Thanks!
