Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see
an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also
use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or
because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look,
smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.
A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one
sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating
only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals
eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on
the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.
However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and
fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different
depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because
it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much
sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat
and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food,
therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
