A VEGAN DIET

Anna is vegan. This means she does not eat any animal products, including meat, milk and eggs. On today’s blog,
we asked her about her diet.

Why are you vegan?

Vegan diets are good for the world. They are also good for our health. I think a lot of people think the same way. I
also love animals, so why would I want to eat meat? I want to be kind to animals.

Is your diet healthy?

Yes, it is. Every morning, I eat a lot of fruit. I like bananas and oranges best. I also have bread and a cup of coffee –
without milk. At lunchtime, I have pasta. I always have a lot of vegetables, but I like carrots best. In the evening, I
have rice and more vegetables. After school, I buy crisps and vegan chocolate and eat them on the bus.

Do you eat fast food?

The vegan pizza in my local cafe is really good, so I often order that with salad. They have vegan chicken too, but I
hate it. This kind of vegan food is becoming very popular. The problem is, they put a lot of salt in some products. I
don’t like this because it tastes bad.

51-52. Anna doesn’t eat meat because she loves ___________________ .

53-54. She eats fruit and____________________for breakfast.
