Teenagers need to eat food that is good for their bodies while they’re still young so that they will grow up to be healthy adults. So it is necessary for school cafeterias (食堂)to provide nutritious and healthy food. With this in mind, the government has introduced a new food safety rule that will improve nutrition and health standards in schools.
The rule came into force on April 1, 2019. It requires the heads of primary and middle schools to eat with students in their cafeterias. Schools will also be required to make information about food sources and suppliers(供应商)public.
The rule also suggests that parents should eat with students at school in order to provide advice on food safety and nutrition. Schools must try to find food safety problems and solve them in a timely manner.
If a school is caught buying low-quality food or failing to report food safety incidents(事件), the head of the school will be warned, fired or handed over to law enforcement(执法机关), the rule says.
Parents across China have become angry about food safety incidents in schools. The most recent example happened in March at the Chengdu No. 7 High School Development School. Parents posted videos and photos of moldy(发霉的)food that was served in the school cafeteria. Finally, the head of the school was fired. In October, the head of an international school in Shanghai was fired after health and education authorities found moldy tomatoes and onions in the school’s kitchen.
What do other schools do?
Schools in other countries have many ways to ensure food safety. For example, many parents in Australia volunteer in their children’s school cafeterias. These parents do their best to see that their children are served nutritious food.

There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡因)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
Caffeine makes your heart beat fast, Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea.

4 . Many people like eating meat so much that they can’t enjoy a single meal without it. After seeing a new study, they may want to change their eating habits.
Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health have found that having too much red meat can cause a higher risk of early death. These “dangerous” meats are the ones that look red before they’re cooked, such as pork, beef and rabbit. Scientists published the study results in a medical magazine.
The scientists studied the eating habits and health of more than 110,000 adults for more than 20 years. They did a survey on their diets every four years. During the 20 years of research, almost 24,000 people died, including 5,910 from heart disease and 9,464 from cancer.
Scientists examined different lifestyle factors (因素) , including age, weight, physical activity and family history of heart disease. They also studied the amount of different foods they ate, such as corns, fruits, vegetables and fish.
The results showed that eating one meal a day of cooked red meat was connected with a 20 percent higher risk of early death.
“The message we want to communicate is it would be great if you could lower your intake of red meat to half a serving (一份) a day or two to three servings a week,” the study’s lead author, An Pan told the USA Today.

5 . So much a healthy life is about forming good habits. For people in many European countries, healthy food, regular exercise and taking time to relax are part of their daily routines. That probably helps to explain their ranking(名次) in Bloomingberg’s list of the healthiest countries in 2019. Here are the top three healthiest countries this year.
Spain As the world’s healthiest nation in the 2019 Healthiest Country Index, people in Spain have a “Mediterranean diet”. It includes seafood, nuts and vegetables. However, the healthiest thing about Spain is not the food, but rather the relaxing way that people enjoy it. While eating out, they may stay to talk, keep getting together, and perhaps share a glass of wine. If the conversation gets good, they’ll stay for hours until late night. |
Italy Like Spain, Italy’s typical(典型的) eating diet also plays a huge role in the country’s health. Rich in vegetables, fruits, fish and healthy oils, their diet is also heavy in healthy grains, which are high in fiber(纤维). Besides eating, Italians typically walk or cycle to their schools and offices. Usually, they spend less time sitting around than people in other countries. |
Iceland Iceland is one of the healthiest countries in the world. For example, they live very long lives. So what are Icelanders doing right? When it comes to eating, Icelanders keep things simple: lots of fresh dishes made up of seafood and dairy from grass-fed cows. This diet reduces the risks of some serious diseases. Maybe the most important is that hot springs(温泉) provide Icelanders with a relaxing place. Besides, they travel too much. |
