Whether you eat to live or live to eat, food should help keep you well. In our modern world of processed(加工) and preserved foods, many nutritionists are suggesting that we can stay healthy with a well-balanced diet of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and not too much meat, salt or sugar. In fact, eating natural, unprocessed foods that are made from scratch, instead of artificial and junk foods, may not only keep you healthy, but save your money, too. To stay healthy, you must also be careful to avoid food poisoning, a common, unpleasant, and often dangerous illness that affects one out of every six Americans each year. Food poisoning is often caused by salmonella bacteria(沙门氏菌) in food, especially raw meats and dairy products. Heat usually kills the bacteria, and refrigeration keeps them from growing. So remember to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Also, be sure to keep your hands and cooking utensils(烹饪用具) clean so you don't transfer germs to the food while you are preparing it. If you use canned food, always check the cans for leaks or puffiness(膨胀). A puffed can could mean botulism(肉毒中毒), a fatal type of food poisoning that you cannot see or smell. Never taste any food that you suspect has gone bad. Instead, return any damaged cans or spoiled food to the grocery store, and the manager will refund(偿付) your money. When using processed foods, be sure to read all the labels and check the ingredients and the freshness date before you buy or eat the food. Eating is one of the joys of life. Being careful about what you put in your mouth can keep it that way. 根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)误(F)。 ( ) 1. According to most nutritionists, a diet of processed and preserved foods is good for you. ( ) 2.
