The spread of Western eating habits around the wood is bad for human health and the environment．These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature．There are ways to solve this diet-health-environment problem. But they will require a change in eating habits. And what we eat can be a product of culture, personal taste, price and ease.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health．He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s．He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet．
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat．By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker．David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes and heart disease．
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia．China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent t0 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period．And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on．
And, a diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment．As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for grazing cattle．These areas will be

needed to meet the increasing demand for food. More greenhouse gas are likely to be released in the future from agriculture because of this dietary shift than all the greenhouse gas that right now comes out of all the cars, and all of the planes, boats and ships, all forms of transportation．So the change in diet is likely to be worse for the world for climate warming than all the transportation sources.

Most kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1986, Congress chose the rose as America’s national flower.

roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans. Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But bare-root roses come without soil, making them weigh less to transport.
Another expert advises getting bare-foot roses as close to planting time as you can. You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine or about six hours on bright days. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning.
In normal conditions, placing mulch around rose plants is a good idea. Mulch suppresses weeds and holds moisture in the soil. You can use mulch made from grasses or leaves. If your soil is very dry, you can add soil and compost，which returns nutrients to the soil. If aphids or other insects invade your bushes, you may be able to force them off with just a strong spray of water. 32. What information can we get from Paragraph one?

38 Network sites like Facebook and Myspace are good options, or you can try local forums and chats on topics you are interested in. Because these are low-pressure environments, you can practice starting conversations without feeling too pressured or self-conscious.
