Read the three texts about food addiction. What were the consequences of the three people’s addictions?

(Đọc 3 đoạn nói về chứng nghiện đồ ăn. Hậu quả đối với 3 người trong 3 đoạn là gì?)

FOOD ADDICTION

A.

Few people would disagree that one of the world’s most popular dishes is pizza. Twenty-two-year-old Zack certainly wouldn’t. He would eat a variety of pizza-based items, including homemade pizza, precooked microwave pizza, and even pizza leftovers from the night before. He was consuming 800kg of pizza a year. As a child, Zack had eaten a wide variety of food. But he became addicted to pizza when he started secondary school. American school meals have often been criticised for the large amount of fast food present on the menu, and pizza is the star dish. Zack even spent all his pocket money on slices of pizza.

Naturally, Zack’s family worried about his high-calorie, low-vitamin diet. So did Zack. In an attempt to break his addiction, Zack agreed to appear on a TV programme called Freaky Eaters. 1 _____ It wasn’t easy. He had to eat a fish dish, while his brother sat in front of him enjoying ... a pizza! However, Zack met the challenge and has never eaten pizza again.

B.

Seventeen-year-old Stacy Irvine’s friends visit her and discover that she has been rewarded thousands of free toys from fast food restaurants as a regular customer. Stacy’s mother often gave her two-year-old girl a portion of fried chicken in a McDonald’s restaurant. Since then, Stacy has refused to eat anything else except for pieces of fried chicken, and as a result, her diet has created serious health. She has been warned that if she doesn’t change her diet, she will die. Stacy once collapsed due to lack of vitamins and nutrients and needed to be hospitalised. 2 _____ She insisted that Stacy adopt a healthier lifestyle. However, worryingly, Stacy’s mother said that while Stacy was beginning to understand the seriousness of her situation, she couldn’t eat anything else but chicken nuggets.

C.

Twenty-year-old Hanna Little was keen on chips. The only thing that Hanna consumed for fifteen years was one plate of chips after another. 3 _____ And it did because not only did Hanna develop health problems, but she also had to leave her job after collapsing at work. At five, Hanna became addicted to chips and refused to eat fruits and vegetables despite her mother’s efforts. Hanna says that she was terrified of tasting the flavour of different types of food and she would feel anxious just at the idea of doing it. 4 _____ Furthermore, Hanna was soon seen as ‘odd’ by her friends’ parents.

It wasn’t until the age of sixteen that Hanna realised she had Selective Eating Disorder (SED). Despite this new knowledge, no solution was found. It wasn’t until she lost her job before she started eating normally. Hanna sought therapy from psychologist Felix Economakis, who used hypnosis, a treatment that none of the doctors that she had seen before had mentioned, to get her to eat fruit after one one-hour session, and since then she has been willing to eat anything ... including chips!
