Conversation Two (5-8)
M: Hey, there. How are you?
W: Oh, hi. I’m great! Thanks. And you look great, too.
M: Thank you. It’s good to see you shopping at the organic section. I see you’ve got lots of healthy stuff. (5) I wish I could buy more organic produce from here, but I find the kids don’t like it. I don’t know about yours, but mine are all about junk food.
W: Oh, trust me! I know exactly how you feel. (5)My children are the same.What is it with kids these days and all that junk food they eat? (6) I think it’s all that advertising on TV. That’s where they get it.
M: Yes, it must be. (6)My children see something on TV and they immediately want it. It’s like they don’t realize it’s just an advertisement.
W: Right. And practically everything that’s advertised for children is unhealthy processed foods. No surprise then it becomes a battle for us parents to feed our children ordinary fruit and vegetables.
M: That’s just the thing. One never sees ordinary ingredients being advertised on TV. It’s never a carrot or a peach. It’s always some garbage, like chocolate-covered sweets. So unhealthy.
W: Exactly. (7) And these big food corporations have so much money to spend on clever tactics designed to make young children want to buy their products. Children never stand a chance.
It’s really not fair.
M: (7)You are so right. (8) When we were children, we barely had any junk food available, and we turned out just fine.
W: Yes. My parents don’t understand any of it. Both the TV commercials and the supermarkets are alien to them. Their world was so different back when they were young.
M: I don’t know what will happen to the next generation.
W: The world is going crazy.
M: You bet.
