3.Read and answer the questions

When you go to a restaurant you often think that the food you are
ordering is good for you. But many restaurants serve healthy food, like
fish or salad, with a sauce or dressing that uses a lot of oil, fat, or sugar.
The British Food Standards Agency wants all restaurants to say in their
menus exactly what is in each dish,how many calories, how much fat,
and what additives. They think that restaurants don't give their
customers enough information, and that this new plan could help
people to have a healthier diet.But chefs are not happy with the
Agency's plan. One top chef said, 'people are not stupid. They know
that many sauces have butter and cream in them. But if we put on a
menu that a dish has 1,000 calories, nobody is going to order
it!'.However, many doctors agree with the plan. Bruce Ward, Professor
of Medicine,said, 'people know that cigarettes are bad for
them,because it tells you on the packet. But when they go to a
restaurant they often have no idea if the food is healthy or not. Food
products that have a lot of calories, fat, and sugar need a health
warning, exactly like cigarettes.'
