A simple key to a health diet

今天是我写 Food Rules 读书笔记的第 7 天，本月 22 号下午在成都领事馆举办 Deep Root Reading 读书会的线下聚会，欢迎你参加。

读到了本书的第二部分，What kind of food should I eat? 关于吃什么的部分，是第一个部分 What should I eat? 的延续。如果你跟着我们一起读完了第一个部分，那么你会明白，第一部分主要是谈吃真正的食物，紧接着当然是说究竟什么是真正的食物啦。这一章涉及到“吃肉”还是“吃素”的问题，到底是做一个“食肉动物”还是一个“素食主义者”，我得到的结论是，做一个少吃肉的“弹性主义者”。关于这点，因为听了很多相关的课程和分享，自己也看了不少书，我试着找时间专门再写一篇文章来说明我的想法和感受。这里简单聊聊作者的论述，他比较直接地通过对比“吃素”和“吃肉”的好处坏处，来说明“吃素更好”，但不能只吃素。然后告诉大家应该什么时候吃素——大部分时候，和什么时候吃肉——少数场合，最后分享了一个“中国人的饮食智慧”。

If you've followed us so far, you've already learned to avoid manufactured foodlike materials; by reading this part of the book Food Rules, you'll learn and understand what REAL food is. This part helps us how to distinguish REAL food. Whether to be a vegetarian or a carnivore, from my perspective, I choose to become a flexitarian. I'll try to write another article to talk about this topic specifically. Michael Pollan, the author, he simply put it this way. By comparing the advantages and the disadvantages of being a vegetarian and a carnivore, he tells us to balance the vegetables and meat you take in. For example, mostly American people should change the scale of their diet, more vegetables and less meat. Last he shares one of the ancient Chinese wisdom. 

学一些表达：

There are scores of studies demonstrating that a diet rich in vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of dying from all the Western diseases; in countries where people eat a pound or more of vegetables and fruits a day, the rate of cancer is half what it is in the United States.

scores of 许多，大量

If you refer to scores of things or people, you are emphasizing that there are very many of them.

这里很明显不查字典也直到 scores of 是什么意思，但是通过查字典，确定了自己的猜测，也可以更好地掌握并且运用在自己的文章里。

另外，score 做名词除了分数外，还有许多其他的意思，我一次记不完，就算记了也会忘，但是选了一个很有趣的意思 “二十” 来记忆。因为这让我想到了 decade 十年，dozen 一打 ，这样就容易记忆了。

Treat meat as a flavoring or special occasion food.

flavor 这个词本来是口味、风味，但是 flavoring 是调料的意思！

While it's true that vegetarians are generally healthier than carnivores, that doesn't mean you need to eliminate meat from your diet if you like it. Meat, which humans have been eating and relishing for a very long time, is nourishing food, which is why I suggest "mostly" plants, not "only."

relish 享受、喜欢=enjoy

If you relish something, you get a lot of enjoyment from it. 

这词做动词时如果用enjoy来替换，意思和用法是一样的，这样在实际的句子当中就学会了这个表达。
