Increasingly, over the past ten years, people―especially young people―have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because (1)of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a (2)interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain (3)have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it (4)essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process (5)with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the (6)of foods grown in commercial farming areas. ?

But it is (14)in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet (15)large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.
