Firstly I will speak about importance of food, healthy and unhealthy food. Then I will introduce typical meals of Czech Republic and Great Britain. Next topic of my question is festive meals and another will be my favourite meals. Finally I will speak about eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
In different parts of the world people have different eating habits and call meals by different names. Food is one of our most important daily needs.
When we talk about healthy food we do not mean only the food itself, but also the way it is prepared. It is better to eat small amounts several times a day, instead of just a few very heavy meals. Dairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese are often considered part of a healthy diet. Eat as much fresh products as possible, fresh vegetables, fruits and vitamins. A good diet is rich in minerals and vitamins. It´s good eat in quiet atmosphere. Drink a lot of water is important. We shouldn´t eat many sweets or fat meat and we should drink only a modicum of alcohol. Unhealthy food we called Fast food. It´s food which is based on quickly prepared fried meals like hamburger, pizza or typical English fast food Fish & chips.

    The first meal of the day is BREAKFAST. In the Czech Republic breakfast consists of bread with butter, cheese or eggs and rolls and (for drink) tea, milk, coffee or milk with cocoa. An English breakfast is different from ours. They eat cereals, donut, fried bacon, scrambled eggs and beans. The people in Britain drink tea with milk so when we want a normal tea, we must say black tea.

 About 10:00 a.m. it is the usual time for a mid morning snack. At this time, it is good to eat something light and healthy like fruit or vegetables.

 Our LUNCH is consisting of soup, potatoes with meat or dumpling with cream sauce. Our national meal is roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut. People in England have lunch in fast food or pubs. They do not eat soup. They eat hot dog, hamburger or sandwich with fresh vegetables. Sundays are reserved for their big cooked breakfast (which is sometimes called – „brunch“). Brunch is breakfast and lunch together and it consists of scrambled eggs, fried bacon, sausages, tomatoes and ended with dessert and biscuits.

About 4:00 p.m. there is another SNACK: Sandwiches or fruitcake with tea or coffee.

 The last meal of the day is DINNER. In many families in the Czech Republic, the menu usually consists of another warm meal, for example pancakes or sausages with mustard. If we have a cold dinner it may be cheese, salami, ham, vegetables with bread. English dinner is usually hot meal includes meat, sauce and green vegetables cooked in hot water and pudding. Typical drink in our country is beer. In England tea with milk is more popular but also their typical beer without foam.
The Christmas festive meal in our country is fish with potato salad. Many people have fish soup. But I don´t like it and we don´t have fish soup on our Christmas table. Christmas in England are very interesting, they eat turkey. And for example their traditional food is Christmas pudding, it looks like mud-pie.
 My favourite meals are mashed potatoes, I like festive Christmas dinner and a beef soup from my mother.

    One of the biggest problems are the world is eating problems. The young girls refuse to eat because they want look like singers, actress or model. Afterwards they stop to eat and their body is skinny and they need help. They had anorexia or bulimia.
Anorexia is very dangerous psychiatric illness that describes an eating disorder characterized by extremely low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight.
Girls which have bulimia, eat a lot of food and than they vomit all of eaten food.
