C: Now, living in Peru that sounds difficult to do because, Peruvian food of course, internationally known what do you do with that? I mean, what kind of food do you eat here?S: Yeah, It was very difficult for me at first to make the transition because we in Peru are known for our gastronomy and we love our food and there’s so many options now, but in Europe last year I really learned how to manage that situation better so now I know that it’s just a matter of educating yourself on the locations where you do have options to eat that suit your needs. So now I know of all of these vegan restaurants or vegetarian restaurants with vegan options that have food choices for me.
A:Now, all the people think that eating healthily means that you’re not going to enjoy food so, do you think that eating is a chore, a duty or pleasure?S: No, I think eating is definitely a pleasure for me um, I think before, It was just something that I thought I enjoyed, that I thought was pleasurable, but only now do I really feel that it’s totally pleasurable because I’m eating healthier versions of the foods that I used to eat and it makes me feel good to be able to make better choices and still enjoy the same kinds of food.
A: Ok, so what is a healthy diet?S: Yeah so, a lot of people have an idea, their own idea, about what a healthy diet is. We all have different views about this and I think, in general, most of us can agree that a healthy diet includes having lots of fruits and vegetables, very little processed food, so packaged food, things like that; soda, avoid those things and having good quality protein. So, if you like meat, good quality fish, chicken, meat or if you’re vegan or vegetarian making sure you have good protein sources.
