Answer Key

PART TWO A. TEXT How much money does the average British person spend on chocolate in a year? One choc is not enough

You know it will make you feel guilty. You think it might give you a headache. You know it's not exactly a health- food. But you're still going to eat a whole box of chocolates without stopping because.........because you've just got to! It's Britain's best- selling food. We buy £ 1- 1/2 billion worth every yearthat's about £ 30 per person. In fact we spend more on it than we do on bread. What do you expect the rest of the text to tell you? Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise. But why do we like it so much? It's not enough to answer. 'Because it tastes nice'. So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive? They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive. "Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe. "After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate". One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate (actually the cocoa in the chocolate) contains the stimulants caffeine and theobromine. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. It's the more-ishness of chocolate that makes it people's love/ hate food. Some people even fear that they won't be to stop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate. Chocfacts * Manufacturers spend more than £100 m a year on advertising chocolate. * Milk chocolate has less sugar in it than plain, but it tastes because it contains less cocoa. * Chocolate can cause skin problems, like spots. * Chocolate is twice as fatty as the greasiest chips. * Chocolate is one of the top-ten food which cause allergies.
