Indulging in Junk and Fast Food is Unhealthy, Warns Nutritionist


A nutritionist from a well-known university in California has criticized the recent promotional event by Pomegranate Children's Organization. This event included promotions for a new soft drink, a new energy bar, and a new burger restaurant. The organizers of the event encouraged students to buy the pineapple-flavored drink. However, in a recent interview with Education Live, Jennifer Robinson, a senior nutritionist at St. Bartholomew Hospital, disapproved the promotional strategy. She claimed that eating junk food and consuming energy drinks "severely hampers brain development." As a nutritionist, Robinson strives to promote healthy eating habits. She added, "Eating junk food is a waste of money. Consumption of junk food drastically impacts a child's mental and physical development. It is important that schools make an effort to educate their kids about healthy eating."
Pomegranate Children's Organization created a presentation highlighting the benefits of consuming the new cola drink. Mr. Justin Wood, senior spokesperson for the organization, stated that they "conducted a lot of research before sharing the presentation with the public." In response to this claim, Mr. Edward Jones, the director of the Norfalk Nutrition Center, responded by claiming that, "consuming junk food has more cons than pros. He stated that excessive consumption of junk food can affect students' concentration levels and make them feel lazy. This can lead to their poor performance in class."

3. Which statement from the article is an exaggerated claim used to discourage students from indulging in excessive junk food?
Question 3 options:


"Consuming junk food has more cons than pros."


The habit of eating junk food "severely hampers the development of the brain."


They "conducted a lot of research before sharing the presentation with the public."


"This can lead to their poor performance in class."

The statement from the article that is an exaggerated claim used to discourage students from indulging in excessive junk food is -The habit of eating junk food "severely hampers the development of the brain."-

The author is using the adverb “severely” to blow his argument out of proportion in order to discourage children to eat junk food. Even tough is truth that consumption of junk food on a regular basis is correlated with impaired mental abilities –mostly because of the short-terms effects of sugar in concentration- , is not like eating junk food, as bad as actually is, will give you brain damage.

A seven-month feeding trial with geneticallymodified (GM) Roundup Ready® (RRS®) soybeans was conducted on Atlantic salmon (initial weight 40 g) going through the parr–smolt transformation. The maternal near-isogenic soybean line was used as a non-modified control (non-GM), and the two diets were compositionally similar in all analysed nutrients. The performance and health of the fish were assessed by growth, body composition, organ development, haematological parameters, clinical plasma chemistry and lysozyme levels, with samples collected both in the freshwater- and seawater stages. Intestinal indices exhibited some differences between the groups, with the mid-intestine being consistently smaller in the GM fed fish throughout the experiment, while the distal intestine was different at one sampling point, shortly after seawater transfer. Plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) levels were higher in the GM group overall in the experiment, although the magnitude of the difference was larger around the time of seawater transfer compared to later samplings. Despite differences at individual sampling points, there were no differences in total growth during the trial. All other measured parameters showed no diet related differences. Seawater transfer caused changes in gill Na+K+-ATPase activity and plasma chloride ion concentration, as well as in haematological parameters (red blood cell count, RBC, haematocrit, Hct, haemoglobin, Hb) and plasma glucose concentration. However, both diet groups responded similarly regarding these parameters. Our overall conclusion is that the observed effects of feeding Atlantic salmon with GM soy at a 25% inclusion level were minor, and lack of consistency with previous studies suggests that they might be caused by variations in the soy strains rather than the genetic modification per se.

As many landfills run out of space, some communities are making plans and tackling their heaping piles of garbage with innovative solutions. Of the garbage Americans produce every day, only about thirty percent reaches a recycling center. Education about how and what to recycle is costly but essential. Much of the junk we consume and throw out is not designed with recycling in mind. This solid waste creates one of the biggest problems: recyclable material is clogging landfills. In order to extend the lifespan of their landfills, some communities are expanding recycling programs and trying new technologies to turn trash into energy. A few cities are planning new energy plants that burn garbage to produce energy while still producing less pollution than landfills. Several other cities have facilities that use bioreactor landfills to speed up the decomposition process for trash from 100 years to 5-10 years. The costs and pollution generated by landfills force communities to think creatively about what to do with everything we throw out.

Which of the following sentences from the paragraph is the topic sentence?
