Culture today

Nowadays, it seems that everyone’s talking about food! Vegetarians and vegans, foodies and freegans, the GI diet and GM food. What’s it all about? Here we take a look at some of the issues that affect our food ...

Vegetarians in Britain

In Britain, there are about three million vegetarians who don’t eat meat or fish. Of these, a quarter of a million are vegans, which means that they don’t eat any animal products such as milk, eggs or cheese.

"You Are What You Eat!"

1 Vegetarianism is becoming increasingly popular among young people in Britain. 16-year-old Jane explains why she stopped eating meat: ‘Someone told me that they’re destroying the rainforests to use the space for cattle. Then eventually the cattle are made into burgers, so eating burgers actually contributes to global warming! If I’d known about this before, I would have become a vegetarian years ago.’

2 Every day, supermarkets throw away a huge amount of food because it’s past the sell-by date. ‘Freegans’ are a group of people who don’t agree with this food waste. They take food from the supermarkets’ rubbish bins, and eat it. They also find food in the countryside, and grow their own vegetables in community gardens. 19-year-old Freegan Lenny explains: ‘We do this for environmental reasons. If we hadn’t taken the food from the rubbish bins, it would have gone to a landfill site.’

3 The global population is growing, and millions of people haven’t got enough to eat. So scientists have developed a way of producing ‘genetically modified’ (GM) crops. Some of these are easier to grow in areas which suffer from droughts. Supporters of GM food say that this will improve the chance of survival for millions of people around the world. But many people are against GM food. 17-year-old Ellie says: ‘I was angry when I realized that a lot of our food is already genetically modified. If I hadn’t read the labels, I wouldn’t have realized. Now I avoid all GM food. I don’t think it’s natural.’
