Q.4 (B) Summary Writing : (5 marks) Read the passage given in Q. No. 4(A) and write summary of it. Suggest a suitable title to the summary. Modern food has become our enemy. We have become so besotted by taste and presentation that we eat food for its entertainment value, not for its nutritional benefit. Even as health awareness is increasing, the variety of junk and nutrition deprived food is also increasing. Each restaurant boasts of a new cuisine, which is a mixture of refined flour, oil and sugar. Pasta, noodles, white rice, white bread and maida-based products like pizzas, burgers, naan and rumali roti are the grain options in Italian, Chinese, Indian, or Mexican Cuisines. The vegetarian dishes are either overcooked or have a lot of corn starch and fat. The non-vegetarian dishes are either white-sauce based or made in rich gravies. People are trying to lose weight by eating less in the day, so that they can accommodate such foods in the night. They skip breakfast and lunch so that they can satisfy their taste buds in the night with a family dinner. Perfect health, however, cannot be achieved by a process of deprivation and elimination. The idea is to nourish the body. You might achieve some weight loss but you will also lose out on your health. Therefore, whilst embarking upon any weight loss programme, remember that health is so much more than just weight loss, at the same time achieving ideal body weight in a healthy way does provide a basis for achieving perfect health.

Title : Modern Food — A Threat to Health Summary : Modern food has become our enemy because we eat it for its taste and presentation and not for its nutrition. Restaurants serve refined-flour, oily and sugary dishes — pasta, noodles, white rice and bread, pizzas, burgers, naan and rumali roti — and the vegetarian and non-vegetarian gravies are full of starch and fat. To make room for such food at night, people eat less during the day and skip breakfast and lunch. But perfect health cannot be won by deprivation; the body must be nourished. One may lose some weight and still lose health, for health is much more than weight loss. Ideal body weight, achieved in a healthy way, is only the basis of perfect health.
