Hello, I'm Rob.
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm joined today by Neil.
Hello, Neil here.
Excuse me.
I'm enjoying a bar of chocolate.
Where did you get that from?
In the vending machine upstairs.
That's the automatic machine with drinks and sweets.
You put coins in it to release whatever you paid for.
Now, if it was up to some health professionals,
you wouldn't see many of those machines around anymore.
What?
No more machines, which offer you as many sweets as you like.
No questions asked.
Exactly.
The World Health Organization has recently proposed a cut in its recommendation for how much sugar we should have.
They now say that it should be less than 5% of our calorie intake.
