One of the great things about being in the U.S. is the diversity of foods. Because the country is a melting pot of people and cultures, just about every kind of food is available here. In addition to all of the different ethnic foods, you can find a wide variety of health foods in stores and restaurants.
Health food is becoming more and more popular because people are concerned about the way food makes them feel. People are learning more about food and they realize that eating well can make a person feel happier, healthier and more full of energy.

Dialog
1. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
Luckily, there are many different stores and restaurants that feature healthy foods. Many restaurants serve vegetarian and/or vegan dishes. You can ask your waiter which things on the menu are the healthiest. There are some restaurant chains that serve only vegetarian foods, such as Govinda’s, and you can always get healthy food at juice bars.
If you’re interested in eating organic foods, your best bet is to shop at a health food store. Some of the big health food chains are Wild Oats, Alfalfa’s, and Whole Foods. You can also find some natural foods at Trader Joe’s.

Eating well is very important if you want to live well. I’ve been trying to eat more healthily lately and I can tell that it’s making a difference in my life. I’m avoiding fast food and sweets and I feel much better!
Hopefully you can find healthy foods in your part of the world!
Take it easy,
