1.听写包答案：

I've still got loads to do for our report on nutritional food labels.

Me too. What did you learn from doing the project about your own shopping habits?

Well, I've always had to check labels for traces of peanuts in everything I eat because of my allergy.

But beyond that I've never really been concerned enough to check how healthy a product is.

This project has actually taught me to read the labels much more carefully.

I tended to believe claims on packaging like 'low in fat'.

But I now realise that the 'healthy' yoghurt I've bought for years is full of sugar and that it's actually quite high in calories.

Ready meals are the worst... comparing the labels on supermarket pizzas was a real eye-opener.

Did you have any idea how many calories they contain? I was amazed.

Yes, because unless you read the label really carefully, you wouldn't know that the nutritional values given are for half a pizza.

When most people eat the whole pizza. Not exactly transparent is it?

Not at all. But I expect it won't stop you from buying pizza?

Probably not, no! I thought comparing the different labelling systems used by food manufacturers was interesting.

I think the kind of labelling system used makes a big difference.

Which one did you prefer?

I liked the traditional daily value system best

the one which tells you what proportion of your required daily intake of each ingredient the product contains.

I'm not sure it's the easiest for people to use but at least you get the full story.

I like to know all the ingredients in a product -- not just how much fat, salt and sugar they contain.

But it's good supermarkets have been making an effort to provide reliable information for customers.

Yes. There just needs to be more consistency between labelling systems used by different supermarkets, in terms of portion sizes, etc.

Mmm. The labels on the different brands of chicken flavour crisps were quite revealing too, weren't they?

Yeah. I don't understand how they can get away with calling them chicken flavour when they only contain artificial additives.

I know. I'd at least have expected them to contain a small percentage of real chicken. Absolutely.

I think having nutritional food labeling has been a good idea, don't you?

I think it will change people's behaviour and stop mothers, in particular, buying the wrong things.

But didn't that study kind of prove the opposite? People didn't necessarily stop buying unhealthy products.

They only said that might be the case.

Those findings weren't that conclusive and it was quite a small--scale study. I think more research has to be done.

Yes, I think you're probably right.

我们那篇营养食物标签的报告，我还有很多事情没做。

我也是。你从你那个购物习惯的课题学到了什么呢？

恩，因为我的过敏症，所以一直要检查我吃的每个东西的标签是否含有花生。

但是除那之外，我从来没怎么考虑过去检查什么是健康食物。

这个课题真的教会了我要更加认真地阅读标签。

我以前很相信标签上的话，比如“卡路里含量很低”。

但是我现在意识到我买到的“健康的”酸奶全都是糖，而且卡路里含量很高。

熟食最糟糕...比较超市披萨上的标签真的是一件令人大开眼界的事情。

你知道它们里面含有多少卡路里吗？我真的很震惊。

是的，因为除非你非常认真地阅读标签，你不会知道给出的营养值只是一半的披萨。

但是大多数人都会吃整个披萨。不是非常透明是吧？

并不是。但是我觉得这并不会阻止你买披萨吧？

当然不会啦，绝不！我觉得比较食物生产商使用的不同标签系统非常有趣。

我觉得使用的标签系统的类型有很大不同。

你喜欢哪一个呢？

我最喜欢传统的每日值系统，

是那个告诉你产品里含有你每日所需的每种成分的比重的那种。

我并不确定这是最方便人们使用的，但是至少你会知道所有的东西。

我喜欢知道产品中的所有的配料--不只是包括多少脂肪、盐分和糖。

但是超市努力为顾客提供可靠的信息这点挺好的。

是的。但是不同的超市使用的标签系统需要更加一致一点，比如说分量的大小等等。

恩。不同品牌鸡肉味炸薯片的标签非常明显啊，是吧？

是的。我不明白为什么里面只含有人工添加剂，却可以逃过叫自己鸡肉味的惩罚。

我知道。我至少会期待里面会含有一点点真的鸡肉。是的。

我觉得有营养食物标签是一个很好的主意，是吧？

我觉得这会改变人们的行为，而且会阻止妈妈买错东西。

但是那个研究好像证明了相反的事情吧？人们不一定会停止购买不健康产品。

他们只是说可能会那样。

结果并不是很具有确定性，而且是一个小范围的研究。我觉得可以做更多的研究。

是的，我觉得你可能是对的。
