IN THIS LESSON
ID: 2623 Upper Intermediate
It's important to take care of your body, and in the midst of recent food scares, it can be hard to know what brands to trust. In this lesson, we talk about whether making stuff from scratch is better than eating out and how we should choose our ingredients a bit more carefully and watch what you eat.

It is worth a little effort to eat healthy and eat safely, not to mention that nowadays there are so many labor-saving devices to help out, you just have to spend a little time preparing the ingredients, it's not so tiring.
可是那些材料也不见得都没问题吧

But you can't be sure if the ingredients are safe to eat.
所以我买材料是很讲究的不但要选有机的当季的还要选有信誉的商家有些东西就得买进口的

So I pay particular attention to the ingredients that I buy. I not only choose organic and seasonal food, but also select reputable companies. Some things I have to buy imported.
