Many people don’t eat certain types of food. Look at the pictures below and describe them. Do you

eat or drink these things?

should not eat. Some of these ideas come from religion. For example, Muslims don’t eat any pork

because of their religion. Many Jews don’t eat any pork either. Some Christians don’t eat meat on

Fridays. Other Christians don’t drink any wine or coffee. Many Buddhists never eat any meat or

eggs at all. They eat a lot of rice, beans, fruit, and nuts instead. Most Hindus also don’t eat meat

because they are vegetarians.

Vocabulary:

Should/shouldn’t = Giving Advice (dar consejo). Ex.: You should eat healthy food. Muslims/Jews/Christians/Hindus = religions (musulmanos, cristianos, judìos, hindús) Wine = vino (it’s made of grapes) Never = nunca Instead = en vez de Also = también Vegetarians = vegetarianos
