OPCIÓN A
Too Much TV May Lead toToo Much Fast Food
A new study reports that high-school children who watch more than 4 hours of TV a day are more likely
to have bad eating habits in young adulthood. This is a critical developmental period during which lifelong
eating behaviours are established. The study found that those high-school kids ate less fruit, vegetables
and calcium-rich foods and more snacks, fried foods, fast foodand sugar-sweetened beverages 5 years
later. Therefore, they are more likely to be overweight.
The authors also noted that while teens are key targets of ads for unhealthy foods and drinks, they might
overlook the consequences of consuming them because the actors they see in the advertisements are
usually not overweight.
To take control of TV in your house you should limit the number ofTV-watching hours, keep TVs out of
kids’ bedrooms or tell the kids that TV viewing is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
It's equally important to encourage healthy eating habits. Kids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly
what's available at home. That's why it's important to control the supply lines — the foods that you serve
for meals and have on hand for snacks. Setstandards for healthy eating and moderate TV watching
early, and your kids are likely to stick with those good habits as they get older and more independent.

OPCIÓN B
FairTrade
The fair trade movement as we know it today has undergone several important changes since its
early days following World War II. Fair trade, first seen as a form of charity supported by religious
organizations, has radically changed. The past fifty years have witnessed massive changes in the nature
of fair trade organizations, the products traded and their distribution networks.
Thecurrent fair trade movement was shaped in Europe in the 1960s. The global free market
economic model came under attack during that period and fair trade ideals gained in popularity. The
slogan at the time, “Trade not Aid”, gained international recognition in 1968.
