(a)
Interpretation:
The pros and cons for the food which is local and organic has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Foods can be categorised as organic and non-organic fooditems. The pecularity of organic foods is that the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are being avoided in the growing period. The use of organic and local food also causes less negative enviornmental impacts.
There will be difference in food cost, quality and energy consumtion while comparing the organic and non-organic foods.
In-order to reduce the carbon foot print, the use of organic and locally produced food has to be increased.

- For years we’ve been told that eating fat will cause various health problems and have been warned to eliminate it from our diet. But now we know that not all fat is the same. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. Since fat is an important part of a healthy diet, rather than adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to focus on eating more beneficial “good” fats and limiting harmful “bad” fats. What is their experience with the health risks associated with ‘bad fat’ intake for example obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, etc.? Why is eating healthy so important? What are are recommendations for maintaining a healthy diet of ‘good fats’? What's the deal with fats?arrow_forwardInsoluble liquids have different chemical properties.
