When they were served⑰ the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill. “I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food，” she said, “I miss my vegetables and fruit.” Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of⑱ dumplings so he sighed⑲. “Yes，” he added, “and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork.

Perhaps we ought to bine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and fibre.” So that is what they did. They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight.
