The World’s Best Shop Most people enjoy shopping clothes, new shoes and technological devices, but there are some people who like shopping something different. Many people in Italy believe that Peck is the best shop in the world. Why? Because it is a three-store food shop! And it does not just sell food, it sells Italian food. Peck sells almost every food item you can imagine. You can buy olive oil, lots of different types of cheese, chocolate and of course, Italian ice-cream. You can also buy luxury food products like caviar and seafood. Peck also offers great discounts, so you can buy gourmet food at cheap prices.

Vegetarianism and veganism are becoming more popular around the world. Part of this change in our eating habits is because of animal welfare and the way animals are being treated. Molly stopped eating meat 25 years ago, and she explains her reasons why. “Every time I saw a beautiful cow or pig I felt bad for them. I didn’t want them to be unhappy, and I didn’t want them to be in pain. Thus, I stopped eating all animals even fish. I believe that all animals should live healthy lives, and I have the choice to not to kill them for my food.” However, there are many more reasons not to eat meat. The World Health Organization says that eating meat can cause serious diseases like cancer. Of course, the pesticides used on vegetables are also very bad for your health and so more people are starting to grow their own fruit and vegetables at home. Joel decided to grow his own food last year. “I know that a vegetarian diet is very healthy, and I can cook delicious food without meat, but I also started to worry about all the chemicals we use to grow vegetables. I started to grow my own food at home and I love it! I have my own potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, and pumpkins. The food tastes better, and I feel much healthier!” A vegetarian diet has a lot of health benefits including being good for your heart and your weight. Some researches also show that vegetarians are happier people. Of course, there are many things to think about before you decide to stop eating meat.
