Rubbish bin Show

Hello and welcome to “In the Rubbish Bin”, the show where we look at people’s lives by looking at
their rubbish. I am Laurent Redburn.
Today we look at the diets of two very different families. I have their rubbish bins in the studio, with a
typical day’s rubbish, so, let’s start with rubbish bin 1.
What does this family eat and drink? We have some cola cans, instant coffee, boxes of cheese and
tomato pizza, burgers, biscuits, crisps packet all fast food in that. They do not eat any vegetables or
fruit.

Now, let’s take a look at rubbish bin 2. This is very different, it’s good. This family eats a lot of fruit and
vegetables. There are some potatoes, carrots, bananas, and apples. What do they drink? We have a
juice carton, a milk carton and we have a water bottle. We also have tea bags, some pasta and fish. I
cannot see any fast food here.

B. Complete the following chart by listing the content of rubbish bin A and rubbish bin B.
