Many people argue that restaurants should be required to disclose the nutritional information of the dishes they serve. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?


This answer is submitted by BAWA IELTS Ferozepur considering the plagiarism policy.


Food is fuel for everyone, and it must be nutritious always to get a sound body. Therefore, a number of individuals contend that restaurants must show nutritional information regarding the dishes they provide. I agree with the statement since I believe the merits outperform the demerits.


On the one hand, plenty of factors sustain the positive aspect of this notion. The primary benefit is parents will feel better about choosing a meal for their children when they are aware of the nutrition level of the items being purchased. Moreover, by providing nutritional information, minors can gradually learn about healthy eating and cultivate better eating habits.


The secondary miracle of this culture is that adding nutritional labels increases the revenue of the concerned eatery. When restaurants display nutritive information on all menu items, it can make people feel more confident about what they are eating, and it can grow the ordering frequency of food items that are labelled. 


On the other hand, a few adverse effects have also been reported. Some consumers are of the opinion that the excess of details in dishes description could stimulate eating disorders, as individuals would be aware of the amount of calories and nutrients they are ingesting in a single meal. Besides this, it may lead to troubles like anxiety and body defects if a person is suffering from body dysmorphia. Furthermore, It can be expensive for restaurants to comply with the regulations. Restaurants may need to hire nutritionists or food scientists to calculate the nutritional content of their dishes.  [This point is submitted by our student Abhilesh Razz]


To conclude, the overall benefits of showing nutritional information in a restaurant menu to food allergy customers and health-conscious people will act as a boon, and hence, the upsides outnumber the downsides.

Part - 3 - All Cue Cards

Part 3 belongs to all new cue cards from September to December 2022. We have written the answers on our own except for one topic. Hence, we hold the copyright status of the answers written by us. 1.  Describe an object you find particularly beautiful (For example, a painting, sculpture, piece of jewellery/furniture, etc.). 1. Do   you   think   there   are   more   beautiful   things   now   than  in  the   past? In my opinion, traditional art and sculptures are much more captivating. I think in the past, it was easier for artists to find shoppers in the form of kings and nobles and they could focus on their art without any financial worries. However, today it is much harder to earn money as an artist. The art being made today also reflects that – it is done more as a hobby rather than as a profession and the works produced are far behind those of the past. Moreover, nowadays artists rely on machine work instead of handmade items.  2.   Do you think there are many scenic spots in India

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India.
