Biggie Burger, a new fast-food restaurant, will soon be opened in the town. A large group of kids and parents were holding signs shouting outside it yesterday. They were there because they didn’t want the restaurant to open. Never!
“This kind of food is really bad for us!” said Diana, “It’s high in salt, fat, and sugar. it’s unhealthy and we are going to say ‘no’ to it!”
“Our town has been a quiet place. Restaurants like these bring people and also a lot of trouble to this area,” said Barbara. “And I’m afraid they will take business away from our local restaurants.”
Other local people don’t agree. The officials(官员) believe that Biggie Burger will bring in huge amounts of money to help improve the town. And 17-year-old Sandy can’t wait for Biggie Burger to open.” I love their hamburgers and fried chicken wings! And I can get a job there.”
Sandy’s dad, a cleaner, agrees, “Biggie Burger’s prices are just right for a family like ours.”
Michael, who owns a toy shop next door to Biggie Burger, is excited, too. “Maybe people who come for a Biggie Burger will spend a few minutes in my store and pick up something.”
The town will hold a meeting on Thursday to hear sides. Everyone is welcome to take part in it. Come and give your opinion!

It seems school children all over the world are not satisfied with their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

High schools have dining halls, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, and vegetables.

A common menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried(油炸的)potatoes or roast chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide food with protein(蛋白质),vitamin A, vitamin C, ironand calories.
