My parents have two children, one is my little brother and the other is me. My little brother and I are not very similar. He is tall, strong, his hair is curly and his eyes are small. I am short, slim and my eyes are big and bright. He is interested in math and driving a car for relay races, but I prefer English and sports. However, we both like traveling. As a result, once we have the same vacation, we always go traveling abroad together. This means we have a good common and get along well.

In the Unite 6, we talked about” should science influence what we eat?” This is a hot topic. It depends on consumer needs, interests and current nutrition trends. Some people challenge that question. Because some people think that we should eat well, less science and more common sense. For example: when we buy some food in supermarkets, we can get so much information about health and nutrition. No wonder we was confused. Furthermore, some food label mislead us and some genetically modified food is bad for our health. In contrast, some people believe science should influence what we eat. For instance, some people are interested in nutrition food that have specific health benefits. Low fat food, non-fat food, low calorie and low carbohydrate food all influence the consumer’s desires and needs.

I maintain that we should eat well, less science and more common sense. The first reason is that we all know what food is good for us, what isn’t except some special food that we don’t know and we haven’t tested. Therefore we can enjoy what we really want to eat, but we should control the amount carbohydrate and calorie if someone want to keep weight or lose weight. Secondly, it is hard to predict the changing nutrition food trends, because it is depend on society and culture, so it’s really hard to follow with. In short, I don’t need experts to tell me what to eat.
