Food for life
People cannot live without food. Where does our food come from? Meat comes from animals. People eat domestic birds too. Eggs come from birds. Milk comes from cows. From milk people make butter and cheese.
From plants we get fruit and vegetables. A lot of fruit grows on trees: apples, oranges and peaches. Some plants have fruit too, like the coffee plant. So coffee is a drink of berry seeds!
What about tea?
Tea comes from a plant too, but it is not a fruit. We make tea from the leaves of a plant.
What about tomatoes? «Tomatoes are vegetables», some people say. No, they are not. Tomatoes are berries.
Different food comes from different countries. Oranges and bananas grow in Africa and America.
Where does our food come from?
Some people grow their food, but we usually buy it.
Remember to buy and eat the right food! Remember the proverb: «An apple a day keeps the doctor away.» Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables! Drink milk and juice! They have got a lot of vitamins.
Do you eat the right food?
