【话匣子英语】健康的饮食习惯

 哈皮和安德鲁今天讨论的话题是素食主义者，一般餐厅都会为素食主义者提供特别的饭菜....

Harp¹: Basically a vegetarian² is someone who doesn’t eat meat.

Andrew: That’s right. They don’t eat meat. They’re open to eating other animal products like eggs and milk and cheese, but any meat they stay away from.

Harp: Yup. And sometimes people will eat some fish and still be a vegetarian, but in general it means that most of their diet is fruits, vegetables, grains, things like that.

Andrew: That’s right and this is, I would say, a pretty popular lifestyle in Canada, almost any restaurant that you go to will have vegetarian options and if you say that you’re vegetarian, no one really gives you a strange look anymore like maybe it used to happen in the past. I think it’s pretty much an accepted way of life.

Harp: Yeah. I think there are very few restaurants where there are no vegetarian options.

Andrew: OK and going one step further than vegetarianism³ are vegans and vegans are people who don’t eat any meat or really any animal products so fish, cheese, milk, butter, eggs – these are things that they all avoid eating.
