TRANSCRIPT:
Hey, how you doing? My name is Benjamin. Thanks for watching today. In today's lesson,
we are going to be discussing dietary choices, dietary intolerances. It's important that we
are aware of these. If you are hosting people for dinner, if you are corporate entertaining,
it's very important that we take care of our clients or guests and, you know, the more aware
we are and the more familiar we are with this vocabulary, the better. If this is not directly
relevant to you, consider this as a listening comprehension practice with the quiz at the end
to check how well your understanding has been, how good your understanding has been.
Okay, so lots of people have different diets. Some of these will be caused by allergies,
so people could have... So, an allergy is where if you consume this product,
then you will have some physical reaction in your body to that being in your body, in your
bloodstream. So, some people are allergic to cow's milk or eggs or nuts or shellfish, fish with,
you know, hard shell, wheat, soy, or fish. Now, you could say, "I'm allergic to",
"allergic", "I'm allergic to", or, "I have a something allergy", adjective, noun.
"I have a nut allergy", for example. "I have a shellfish allergy", okay?
Now, "gluten intolerant" means that either for health choices or you just feel that your body
responds better when you don't have gluten, which is basically anything that has grain in.
So, examples of grains are here. Wheat, rye, barley, oats, yeah, kind of long crop-like products
are not enjoyed by people who are gluten intolerant. So, if someone is tolerant,
it means they are welcoming and accepting. With the prefix "in",
it's reversed. It means gluten is not welcomed by this person.
Other people might be vegetarian, not able to eat meat, or vegan, not able to have meat or dairy
products, or a celiac. Now, a celiac is an autoimmune disease where if any gluten products
come into contact with any of the food they eat, then there is quite a serious reaction
in that person. So, there's no choice here with celiacs. They can't have anything with gluten in,
whereas some people just choose to because they think it's healthier. Also, some people may not
be able to have certain products for religious reasons. So, Jewish people tend to favor a kosher
diet, which means that some meat they are not allowed to have, and other meat has to be prepared
in a certain way, and there are some other guidelines. It comes from the Old Testament,
from Leviticus. Halal is the Islamic equivalent, and again, a lot of it is to do with the preparation
and the slaughter of animals, but there is some crossover between these two.
But if you're going to be offering meat to a Jewish or Muslim person, then you need to be
quite careful of the way the meat has been prepared and where the meat has been sourced,
as in where it's been obtained from. Right. Explaining your diet. So, if you
are in a situation, say you go on holiday to England and you need to explain what kind of
foods you can have and what kind of food you can't have, then this is for you. "I'm a vegetarian.
I'm a vegan. I'm a celiac." What's that? […]
