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 bananas. Some plants have fruit too, like the coffee plant. So coffee is a fruit drink! What about tea? Tea comes from a plant too, but it is not a fruit. We make tea from the leaves of a plant, so tea is a vegetable!

What about tomatoes? "Tomatoes are a vegetable, " some people say. No, they are not. Tomatoes are fruit. 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 usually we buy it. Remember to buy and eat right food! Remember the proverb: an apple a day keeps doctor away. Eat a lot of fruit and vegetables!

Drink milk and juice! They've got a lot of vitamins.
