ESL Podcast 1179 – Reading Food Labels 

Amy: Put a big bag of those potato chips in the basket. 

Giorgio: Have you read the nutritional¹ label on these chips? 

Amy: No, but look. This doesn’t have very much saturated² fat, trans fat, or sodium³. 

Giorgio: Look at the serving size. It’s three potato chips. How often do you stop at three chips? 

Amy: Okay, no potato chips. I’ll get this package of cookies. There aren’t many calories or carbohydrates⁴ in these or much cholesterol⁵ or sugar either. 

Giorgio: Look again. The serving size is one cookie. There are 40 cookies in each container. 

Amy: Not everything has to be healthy and good for me. 

Giorgio: No, but you have to get your protein and fiber⁶ from somewhere. If you look at the percent daily value on the things you’re eating, you’re not getting the nutrients⁷, vitamins, and minerals your body needs. 

Amy: This isn’t all I eat. I eat other things, too. 

Giorgio: Like pizza, hamburgers, and fries? 

Amy: I might not have the best diet, but I’m healthy as a horse. 

Giorgio: Maybe a horse ready to be put out to pasture!
